Hoare, it was announced, was in
structed by the government in Lon
don to break off relations with Ru-
mania. He and his staff are ex-
pected to leave for London within
a few days.
There was no indication Of dir
ect link between the reported Ger
man movement into Bulgaria and
the action at Bucharest but it was
generally agreed that Nazi offensive
plans in the Balkans may have been
speeded up by the whirlwind Brit
ish advance in Libya and the pros
pect that Britain shortly will have
large bodies of troops free to de-
ploy in support of Greece.
British relations with Rumania
have been close to the breaking
point since the abdication of King
Carol and the entry of German
troops. At that time Hoare packed
up his documents and was at the
point of leaving when it was sud-
denly decided to allow him to stay
as long as possible.
1t was said then that Hoare hao
been given discretionary powers to
remain in Bucharest so long as he
felt it feasible to do so.

Defeats for Axis
Extend 10 France
AS Petain BaIks
BY J. w. T. MASON
United Press War Expert

Continuing defeats of the Axis
powers in the Mediterranean and
North Africa are being extended
to include the second battle CT
France The refusal of Marshal Pc
tain to restore Pierre Laval to pow
er on the latter's terms must be
considered a setback for Adolf Hit
lcr and an indication of increasing
confidence of the Vichy regime IN
the eventual overthrow Of Nazi
domination of continental Europe.
The struggle between Hitler and
Petain probably has not yet ended
and further pressure on Vichy
from Berlin may be expected. 1t is
apparent, however, that the Ger
mans do not want to create crisis
in France at this time when condi-
tions elsewhere are working badly
for the Axis.
The Germans are showing un-
usual delicacy in their actions, af-
ter having caused "reconcilia-
ton" between Laval and Petain. No
signs Of diplomatic blitzkrieg arc
evident and Berlin continues to in
sist outwardly that the dispute be-
tween Paris and Vichy is an affair
of Frances domestic relations.
This camouflage has been caused
by the danger that if force is at
tempted by the Germans, the
French fleet and the French North
African army will reenter the war,
against the Axis. The wild rumor
circulated by the Berlin radio on
Saturday that Marshal Petain and
Admiral Darlan had flown to North
Africa shows how uneasy the NaZis
are lest the situation take just such
turn,

Admiral Francois Darlan, his right
man, vice premier ana foreign MIN
lister has won war Of nerves
against Pierre Laval but ct thc

for Laval's return to the cabinet.
it was understood today.
BY rejecting Laval's terms for
his cooperation and giving Dar-
Ian, in addition to the navy min
istry, the posts which Laval had
held before his fall from grace,
Petain had ignored the implication
that Germany was behind Laval and
that a deadlock in German-French
relations, always potentially dam
gerous would continue unless Laval
got his way.
However as part of week end de-
velopments Pierre Etienne Flandin
had resigned as foreign minister
and Marcel Peyrouton, interior min
lister, was expected to resign within
few days.
The elimination of both these
men had been regarded as a nee
essary prerequisite to Lavars re-
turn to the cabinet.
1t was indicated today that Laval
would not get his full demands

net of his own choosing, and the

The planes participating in the

LONDON, Feb. 10. UP)-Britain

peninsula 70 miles from the French
frontier, has served tacit warning
to Italy ana Germany una5 It con-
trolls not ONLY the Mediterranean

The British fleet which at dawn

Experts Predict
Hitler Move Soon

LONDON, Feb. 10. UP)-Belief
strengthened among military ex-
perts today that Adolf Hitler, goad-
ed by British aggressiveness into
starting his spring offensive pre-
maturely, might strike within the
next few days somewhere in Eu-
rope.
Prime Minister Winston Church
ill warned in a broadcast speech to
the empire yesterday that German
troops might march into Bulgaria.
He warned that an invasion attempt
might be made soon on the British
Isles-a warning that was given
emphasis by the persistent royal
air force raids on invasion ports.
He said also, Of the British fleet
bembardment of Genoa, that the
navy had bombarded the naval
base from which perhaps a Nazi
German expedition might soon have
sailed to attack General Weygand
in Algeria or Tunis.
Lisbon reported today, on the
basis of private advices from Ma
drid, the circulation of unconfirmed
reports that Generalissimo Fran
cisco Franco and his foreign min
ister. Ramon Serrano Suner. might
leave for Vichy and Berlin today.
British military authorities have
never excluded the possibility of
German thrust through Spain
at Gibraltar and belief was ex-
pressed in responsible quarters only
recently that even if the Spaniards
elected to oppose the passage of
German troops they could hardly dc
more than harass the invading fore

and an airdrome and a railroad
junction at Pisa. The great Spezia
naval base, from which italian

fleet, lies midway between Genoa
and Leghorn.
Some of the biggest of Italys

The detectives bombed, especially
the electric and boiler plants anc

The British fleet stood between
10 and Is miles out at sea, Just
outside effective range Of shore

1t was strongly Indicated that
one reason for the bombardment
aside from its obvious military and
moral Importance, was because OF
a belief the Germans might have
been planning to reinforce italian
troops in Tripoli from Genoa.
