Collaborating with some men,
bers of Congress, staff working
under the direction of Undersecre-
tary Of State Welles has begun q
comprehensive survey of the prob
lens the world will face when the
war ends. it was learned yesterday.
One influential LEGISLATOR, who
asked NOT to be quoted by name,
said 1t was his understanding that
an attempt was being made to pre-
pare a thorough going analysis that
would put detailed information on
world conditions ut the f1ngertips Of
American ddiciais when they sit
down at the peace table.
Broad Field Covered
This study was said to range the
broad field of international relations,
including the economic, political
and social trends to be taken into
account when the peace-makers set
about their task of revamping a
world geared almost exclusively to
war for years.
Legislators who professed know
ledge of the project said it seemed
obvious to them the survey would
be based on the prospects Of a
peace embodying the four freedoms
President Roosevelt enunciated in
his January 6, 1941 message to
Congress-freedom of speech, free
domdom of religion. freedom from
want and freedom from fear.
The idea of maintaining a cur
rent study Of peace problems won
applause from members of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee holding such widely divergent
views as Senators Lee, Democrat,
of Oklahoma, an early advocate of
American Intervention In the war,
and Nye, Republican, of North Da-
kota, who opposed President Roose-
velt's foreign policies vigorously be
fore Pearl Harbor. .
While Senator Lee said he had
no personal knowledge of State De-
partment studies, he was thoroughly
in accord with any step that might
be taken to prepare this country to
face the problems Of peace intel
ligently.

Controls Reported
Government Would Go
Bock 10 Poris Under
Accord, Bern Says Il.
z, the Associated Press.


MOSCOW, July 1.-THE Moscow
radio tonight broadcast a dispatch
by the Official Soviet news agency
TaSs from Bern, Switzerland. re-
porting competent French sources"
had declared that the Vichy Govern
ment mad agreed to give Germany
control OF all important war inStalla-
tions, railways and ports in unoc-
cupied France.
The dispatch said the Germans in
return had agreed to a request Of
Chief Of Government Pierre Laval
to transfer French Government Of
fees from .Vichy to Paris.
These sources were represented as
saying the removal of the demarca-
ton line between the occupied and
unoccIpied zones was a part of the
bargain.
Tass said Laval also was reported
to have granted the Germans per-
mission to establish naval commits
sion at Toulon, French Mediter-
ranean base, with extensive powers,
including the right to maintain 1000
soldiers in special zone near
Toulon.
Laval also was said to have prom
ised to militarize 10000 members
Of French Youth Associations, which
would be armed and trained by the
Germans into mobile defense" units
to be stationed along the coast.
Most Of Nazi Demands.
Laval, since he became chief-of-
government, has spoken openly in
favor of collaboration with the Ger
mans. II the Tass reports are borne
out it appears that he has given
the Germans most of what they had
been demanding from Marshal Pc
tain in vain for more than a year.
There was no mention in the
Bern report of the fate of the
French Navy, but virtually all the
French naval units in home waters
were stationed at Toulon. which
was said to have been turned over
to the Germans.
1t also was not clear whether the
surrender of ports would include
those in the French colonies as
well as on the continent, but it
seemed likely that this would be
the case.
II so, Germany would be free to
use miles of French North African
colonies, such as Tunisia. This
would greatly simplify Marshal Err
win Rommel's problem of getting
supplies to his hard pressed forces
in Egypt, for he could ship from
Marseille, Toulon and other French
ports directly across the narrow
Western Mediterranean to French
North Africa, avoiding the danger
Gus trip past Malta.
Significant Development.
The arming of French youth or
ganizatiOns also was regarded as
significant, since the Germans up to
now have been careful to keep arms
out Of French hands. The Germans
evidently believed Laval could con-
troll these groups and use them to
help repulse an invasion, but the
fact that they would take this
chance seemed to indicate the Ger
mans were desperately short of men
in western Europe.
One Of the important factors
which Marshal Petain had always
injected into any discussion of col
laboration with the Germans was
the release of the 100000 French
soldiers who have been prisoners of
war In Germany since June, 1910.
No mention was made of this in the
Bern account of Laval's agreement.
