Darlan Leaves for Paris;
TEST Of Policy Seen
BY PAUL GHALI.

VICHY, March AIN order to re-
invigorate the distended threads Of
Franco-German collaboration, Vice
Premier-Foreign Minister Admiral
Jean Darlan left today for Paris.
The official communique issued at
the time of his departure warned
the French public that the trip was
only the first of series of ''admin-
iStrative" trips and that, conse-
quently, not much could be expected
to result from this particular visit.
Despite this, however, the Vichy
public appears to feel that the trip
indicates a definite attempt to test
the policy of collaboration and that,
if Admiral Darlan fails, one more
Frenchman will abandon the weary
ing job of attemptin to achieve
the so-called Franco-German rap
prochement. In such case, France
would find herself faced by the di-
lemma of Pierre Laval and collabo-
ration or no collaboration at all.
The final instructions given to Ad-
miral Darlan by Chief of State Mar
shall Henri Philippe Petain yeSter-
day must have been greatly influ-
enced by the impressions he col
lected during his weekend tour to
the red districts" Of unoccupied
France, including st. Etienne and
the Pilgrimage town of LIE Puy. This
was the marshal's first tour since
7 December 13 when Petain ousted
LavaD and the enthusiasm which
greeted him was the best plebiscite
in favor of his policies since that
fateful date when Laval was ousted.

BY the Associated Press.

DJ NliV F1ooOSAdtth 1850
BOSTON, March A dart that
cupid fired in the French war zone
early in the present conflict reached
its mark last night, when an Amer
ican-born aviator and pretty
French dancer were married during
the flyers three-day leave from the
Royal Canadian Air Force.
Obtaining a waiver Of the five-day
law after filing intentions yesterday
afternoon, Nick Joseph, "a, Of Fond

and later joined the r. c. A. F., be-
ing stationed now at Quebec City,

seph served as an ambulance driver

Nazi Troops Replace
Lost Tourist Trade,
Italians Assert
But OfficioI News Agency
Admits New Pact Will p
Be in Germony's Favor
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ROME, March 4-Income from
the maintenance of German Garri-
sons in Italy will compensate for
the loss of income once derived from
the tourist trade, Stefani (omcial
news agency said in an analysis of
the new Italian-German trade
agreement.
While acknowledging that the
trade balance between the axis allies,
in which Italy and Germany will
pool their economic resources would
end in Germany's favor, Stefani
said the italian debit balance would
be reduced by two factors:
One-Money sent home by 315 900
Italian workers now employed in
Germany.
Two-Spending by German forces
in Italy who, from the customs
viewpoint have, in certain respects,
the character of tourists"
Under the trade agreement. an
nounced last week. Italy is to supply
Germany with bauxite, sulphur
mercury and foodstuffs. In return
she will receive coal, steel and "othel
products indispensable to the con-
duct of war"
Germany was described as being
especially in need of bauxite, the
ore from which aluminium is derived
The Reichs exports to Italy would
be increased further. Stefani said
without aid of indirect importa-
tions from Russia, or occupied ter
ritories.
Characterizing Bulgaria's adher-
ence to the tri-partite pact as "an-
other economic and political defeat
which England may now consider
complete" Stefani also said the axis
powers already have begun to lay
the foundation for economic collabo-
ration with the Balkan countries
which democratic nations, especial
ly England, formerly considered ar
area of exploitation"
