Awaits Disclosure Of How

Doubt Felt thet immediate
Move is Anticipates BY Nexis

OwASHINGTON. May 22-The
United States, informed officials
indicated today. will pursue .
"watchful waiting" policy re-
garding Martinique and other
French possessions in the west
ern hemisphere until the Vichy
government formally discloses
the extent of the future "collab-
grafton" 1t plans with Nazi Ger
many.
Chairman George (D-Ga.) Of
the Senate foreign relations COM
mittee, for example, expressed
doubt that any immediate move
would be made, explaining there
had been no indication that the
status Of the French colonies on
this side Of the Atlantic had
been changed by the Franco
German understanding.
Pending some concrete evil
dence that Frances new world
possessions would be affected.
George said that It probably
would be inadvisable for the
United States to take any steps.
After Tuesdays frank ex-
change of opinions between Sec
rotary Hull and CASTOR Henry
Haye, the French Ambassador,
the United States was under
stood to be waiting for q formal
written declaration from the
Vichy government, detailing the
extent of the collaboration" it
has pledged Germany hence
forth.
Pending that French declara-
ton, II was said, the United
States planned no action which
would change the status Of
French colonies, food shipments
to unoccupied France, supplies
shipments to the French North
African colonies, or other ques-
tons under consideration be-
tween the two governments.
Germany's request that the
United States withdraw diplo-
matte representatives from Paris
was expected 70 make no change
in the situation since the only
American officials left in the
French capital are consular Of
ficerS.
Germany's designation Of
Paris as an extended zone Of

to believe that the action was

tensified Naxi efforts to invade
