last Dec. 10.
Official circles said the Vichy gov
ernment's position that the French
fleet will not be used against Britain
stands unaltered.
According to the Paris informa-
ton, Hitler's reply takes the stand
that the official announcement that
Petain and Laval have settled their
differences proves that the charges
against Laval, which led to his
resignation, were baseless.
Ut has been reported in Bern
Switzerland, that Laval was accused
of personal ambitions, even to the
length of setting up his w French
government.)
The note also was reported to In
sist that Laval be included IN
Vichy's inner circles-for example
in a talked-of super=eabinet - and
that such incidents as caused the
Laval resignation must not be re
peated if the Vichy government
wants French-German collaboration

OBJECTIONS TO AID
GET FDR'S LAUGH
Says They Are, 'Cow-Jump'
Over-the- Moon Stuff-Old
Mother Hubbard
BY RICHARD L. TURNER

WASHINGTON, Jan. I'll Up -
While Jospeh P. Kennedy was tell
ing a house committee that he op-
posed the administrations aid-to-
Britain bill "in its present FORM"
President Roosevelt today cnarac-
terized certain objections raised by
critics of the bill as "cow-jump-
over-the-moon stuff-Old Mother
Hubbard"
The President referred to talk on
Capitol Hill that the measure
would permit the President to give
away the Navy or use it to convoy
supplies to Britain. There was no
indication that his remarks were
aimed in particular at Kennedy, his
retiring ambassador to England,
although one of the suggested
amendments that Kennedy ap-
proved was a prohibition against
American conveys.
The President, at his press con-
ference, said he did not think it
necessary to put in a prohibition
against giving away naval ships,
and asserted that the question Of
sending conveys had not been con
sidered in any way. Meanwhile
high authorities explained thai
sending conveys was likely to star
some shooting; that shooting is
close to war itself, and that the
last thing the government wants to
do is have the shooting begin.
While opposing the present bill,
Kennedy told the house foreign at
fairs committee that he favored
all aid to England which would not
lead inevitably to war.
Over and over again, he said
that his primary objective was to
keep the United States out of tie
war. He was for helping Britain,
Though, on the ground that a strong
British stand gives us time to pre-
pare our defenses. But, he assert
ed that American interest in pre-
venting a Hitler victory stopped a
the point at which it would become
necessary to send American troop;
abroad. If we must fight, he said
it was better to fight in our owl
back yard. 4
