was kept secret for several hours.
While there was no definite in
dication that the information he
gave the senators was similar to
his closely guarded report to Pres

Cordell Hull and other high admin
istration advisers, it was assumed
that the talk covered many essential

president branded as German prop
aganda designed to dupe American

try. Winant told the oonferees that

in Paris, decided upon complete
plan of action TO recapture the
French African colonies held by
Free French forces in campaign
requiring about four divisions of
French troops. some 10000 men,
and due to start in September.
However, the plans were said TO
be subject to Weygand'S final ap-
proval. His reaction to the plan of
action against the De Gaulle colo
MES was not stated specifically but
he was reported to have said French
forces in Africa did not have sup
plies and materials sufficient for
any serious adventure, statement
which appeared to imply diSapproval
of the anti-De Gaulle offensive.
On June 4, according to the ad-
vices, Weygand announced his stand
at two secret cabinet meetings.
He cleared away, as it was put,
any mistaken ideas" that Darlan
may have had that the French
forces ia Africa had sufficient
stocks to engage in any serious ad-
ventures. He insisted, it was added,
that everything available in north
Africa be conserved for actual en-
pire defense, not aggressive action.
He pointed out that France has no
munitions factories in it's empire,
it was said.

out policy of collaboration with
Adolf Hitler, it was charged.
Evidence of the strong new Brit
ish policy probably would become
visible shortly, officials said in a
reference to the apparent inIai-
nence of a British drive into Syria.
Meanwhile the British made an
offensive air sweep over northern
France and the Germans attacked
British shipping III the English
Channel with long range guns and
planes today. An enemy convoy off
the Dutch coast was bombed and
two ships of 5000 tons each were
reported hit and probably destroyed.
Turkish antiaircraft guns were
reported to have shot down a Dor
nier flying boat, presumably Ger
man, off the entrance to the Dar-
danelles. Reports, largely of Tur-
kish origin, claimed that German
troop carrying airplanes were land
ing at Syrian airdromeS and that

NEW YORK, June 7 (UP)-Max-
ime Weygand, French colonial COM
mander in chief, mas frustrated any
plans which the Vichy government
may have had for military collabor-
alton with Germany and Italy. and
has made it plain that French Al
rica would not follow Vichy into
any military venture against Great
Britain or the United States, ac-
cording to private adv.ces which
reached New York today.
Weygand has insisted, it was said,
big stocks of motor trucks, gasoline,
airplane motors, antiafrcraft guns
and munitions in the French colo
nies, which Germany needs badly
in its Mediterranean campaign be-
cause of the difficulty of sending
big quantities of material from Ger
