What can we expect in the future?
Simply stated, the least that we
can expect is that German influence
will be spread over the unoccupied
zone In France, possibly without
military force, as completely as it
has blanketed the occupied zone
with military force to back it up.
More Orders From Berlin.
Laval and Admiral Jean Darlan
will get more of their orders from
Berlin and their collaborationist
representatives In German occupied
Paris.
German guards at harbors and
airports in unoccupied France,
specified in the armistice agreement,
will be reinforced.
German control over the move
ments of the French battle fleet, also
specified in the armistice articles,
will grow stronger. The ambiguous
German phase that "it does not in
tend to use the French war fleet
for its purposes in war" will become
more suspect than ever.
German economists, already in
stalled in Vichy, Lyon and Marseille,
will increase their stats, block trade
with any countries which are not in
line with the Axis, and secure the
markets for what is needed to off,
set Germany's own shortages.
German industrialists, pressed for
man power, will find new employ
ment sources to augment the 10o, 900

in France before, during and
after the German conquest and

able consequences of todav's
drastic changes In Vichy. Here is
his Interpretation of these
euents)
BY ROY p. PORTER.
NEW YORK, April 14.-Marshal
Petain has been forced to give in to
German pressure, Pierre Laval has
come back after a 16-month vaca-
ton as contact man No. / with
the Nazis and the United Nations
diplomatic and food offensive, con-
Quoted by the United States, has
failed.
These are the immediate results
of today's developments in Vichy,
where the first steps toward gov
ernment reorganization have been
taken and where the Riom trial OF
five former French leaders, never
charged with anything more than
having laid down on the job, has
been shifted, to suit the purposes
of German propaganda, to an in
quiry into who caused France to
go to war with Germany"
All three of these results are dan
gerous to the United States-and
the United Nations-in their war
against the Axis.
Marshal Petain's capitulation
means that only 10 days before his
86th birthday anniversary the only
living marshal of France had to turn
his back on his closest foreign dip
lomatic adviser-United States Am
bassador Admiral william D. Leahy
and agree, in principle at least, to
heightened collaboration with his
country's German military conquer
ors.
Again In Drivers Seat.
Laval's return to the cabinet
means that Frances first and fore
most proponent of friendship"
with Germany and Italy is again
sitting in the drivers seat of the
collaboration vehicle It also means
that our British allies, for whom
Laval had such a deep, uncontrolled,
genuine hatred that he would like
to see them crushed to a grease
spot" can henceforth consider all
of France, occupied and unoccupied,
as outside their sphere of influence.
The failure of the diplomatic and
food mission, directed by Washing
ton and conducted by Admiral
Leahy in Vichy, means that the
overtures, relief assistance, sugges-
tions and outright gifts by which
the United States sought to keep
the French government out Of the
Axis camp have come to naught.

people have In the smallest degree

New Assault Forecast.
Military observers saw in these
reports indications that the jap
anese were massing for an assault,
probably just before dawn on the
first night that rain blacks out the
waters between Corregidor and the
mainland. The rainy season starts
in the next few days.
Although a communique late yes
terday made no mention of the type
of the Japanese vessel sunk OH
Bataan or its exact position, 1t was
considered possible the ship was a
motor barge carrier attempting to
get safely inside Manila Bay with
additional boats for a landing at
tempt.
Attack From Two Shores.
In the assault the japanese would
be able to come from both the Ba-
taan shore and the Cavite shore of
the bay. Troop-carrying barges
would be given close support by
military patrol craft armed with
small cannon. Such patrol boats
already have been reported operat-
ing the bay.
The assault force itself would con-
sist of both infantry and light ar
tillery. Typical japanese tactics
would call for the boats to converge
on the island after intensive air or
artillery bombardment or both, de-
pending on weather conditions.
1t. Jonathan M. Wainwright re-
ported last night that Corregidor
was under almost constant fire OF
Japanese artillery on both the north
and south shores of the bay and it
was expected that the japanese
would intensity the bombardment
by bringing heavy guns into posi-
ton on Bataan.
Thus far in the war Japanese
landings have been precision ma
neuvers. Motor barges in forma-
ton roar full speed at a'beach, shut
of their engines in unison a short
distance off shore, drop stern an
chors and ease the boats in until
they ground, at about 5o-yard in
tervals.
Ordinarily the landing force is
made up Of at least one division with
full equipment, including infantry
field artillery, engineers and light
tanks. It was doubtful, however.

Return Of Laval Seen
As Tactical Defeat
For United Nations
Stricter Americun-British
Policy Toward Vichy Is
Expected to Be Result
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 1.-THE Brit
ish government takes IAN ex-
ceedingly grave view" of the
re-entry of Pierre Laval into the
Vichy governments councils,
British sources said today.
Informed diplomatic sources said
they viewed his return as "tac-
tical defeat" for the United Nations
diplomatic campaign, waged through
the State Department in Washing
ton, to win Vichy away from the
Nazis.
Although a Foreign Office COM
mentator remained silent on this,
there was strong belief among in
formed sources that the United
States and Britain would greet the
reinstatement of Frances arch Nazi
collaboration with stricter policy
toward Vichy.
Furthermore, it was said. Gen.
Charles de Gaulle's Free French
movement now may expect more
help and greater recognition both
here and in the United States-rec-
ognition which Gen. de Gaulle
plainly sought in a recent speech.
Nervous Over French Affairs.
The Foreign Office commentator,
however, pictured the Vichy reor-
ganization as forced on the Petain
regime by the Nazis because the
Germans are to high degree nerv-
GUS about affairs in France"
The stock of Admiral Jean Dar-
Ian, Vice Premier and Foreign Min
lister in the former cabinet, is known
to have been falling in France
and, from the German point of
view, he was useless to foster fur
ther collaboration, the commenta-
tor added.
He said there was a correspond
ing upsWing in pro-Allied SYM
pathy in France and that Vichy's
inability to cope with it had aroused
the Germans to force Marshal
Petain's acceptance of Laval.
Admiral Darlan was described,
nevertheless, as being "as much IN
favor of collaboration with Ger
many as ever"
Diplomatic sources expressed be-
lief that his presence with Laval
In the same cabinet probably would
enhance Germany's prospects OF
getting the French feet for Axis
operations against Britain in the
Eastern Mediterranean area.
Two other causes contributing to
the revision, the Foreign Off1ce
commentator said, were the Riom
trials and Vichy's failure to handle
the type of propaganda Germany
wanted on the raid on the Renault
plant in the Paris environs last
month by the r. A. F.
Incompetence Barred.
THE Riom trials were intended
by the Germans to demonstrate
Frances war guilt" this source as
serted. He said they failed in that
and merely showed "the incompe-
tence of the regime which Vichy
replaced"
The Germans seized on the raid
on the Renault works as a wonder
full opportunity" to arouse French
feeling against the Allies and for
further collaboration, the commen-
tator said, but Vichy failed to do as
expected.
He said the Germans instantly
thought of Laval, who, though no
more pro-German than Admiral
Darlan, is "far cleverer" and hoped
by forcing him back into Vichy's
councils to secure the Nazi rear for
spring offensives in Russia and the
Near East and also to reap richer
rewards from collaboration than in
the past.

Transport Reported Sunk.
A German transport was report
ed sunk in the Barents Sea Sunday.
The Soviet Information Bureau
said destruction of 322 German
planes last week increased to 1,103
the total shot down or demolished
on the ground since March II, this
against a loss Of 314 Russian air
craft. In addition the score Sun
day was listed at eight German
and three Red Army planes.
Adolf Hitler's air force is de-
scribed by Basil Cardew, London
Daily Express aviation writer, as
on the defensive.
Cardew estimated today that Ger
many had about 1000 first-line
planes, 1000 of them based on the
Russian front. A few more than
1000, including strong fighter
groups, are stationed in Western
Europe and between TOO and 800
in the Mediterranean basin, he
said
