Roosevelt Gives
Armistice PIedqe

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-(U.PD
President Roosevelt reported on
this Armistice Day that United
Nations forces were being joined by
large numbers of French troops
in a war which Is certain to end
in inevitable final defeat of the
Axis.
Speaking in the amphitheater of
the Arlington National cemetery
overlooking the Tomb of the Un-
known Soldier, Mr.. Roosevelt re-
membered with gratitude the gra-
very of the men who fought and
helped to win that fight against
German militarism" in 1918.
HARDER FIGHT NOW
To-day, Americans and heir
British brothers in arms arc again
fighting on French soil" the Presi-
dent said They are again fighting
against a German militarism which
transcends a hundred-fold the bru-
tality and barbarism of 1913"
Declaring that forces of liberia
ton are advancing" Mr.. Roosevelt
said, Britain, Russia, China and
the United States grow rapidly to
full strength-thc opponents of de-
cency and justice have passed their
peak"
"And-as the result of recent
events-the United Nations forces
are being joined by large numbers
of the fighting men of our tradi-
tional Ally, France. On this day
of all days, it is heartening for us
to know that soldiers of France
GO forward with the United Ma
tionS."
SAVAGERY HIT
The President said the NaZis of
today--and their appropriate asso-
ciateS, the JapaneSe-havc attempt
ed to drive history into reverse to
use all the mechanics of modern
civilization to drive humanity back
TO conditions Of historic saw
agery.'
They sought TO conquer tho
world. and for time thcy seemed
to be successful in realizing their
boundless ambition. They over
ran great territories" he continued.
They enslaved-they killed.
But, today, we know and they
krcw that they have conquered
nothing. Today they face inevitable,
final defeat"
Standing lin the presence of the
honored dead" Mr. Roosevelt said
that those who gave their lives in
the last war did not Dc so merely
to defend their American homes
for the moment that was pass
ing.

front developments were moving
rapidly.
German troops were marching
south through previously unocru-
nled France. They were headed
for Marseillcs and Toulon where
much of the French fleet has been
concentrated.
Italian troops were moving up
the MEDITERRANEAN coast of France
from the Italian border and also
had landed on Corsica.
There was no sign of French OPP
noSifion to these Axis moves al
'houet Marshal Henri Philippe Pc
tain made what the Germans call
cd pre- forma protest of the ac-
ton as. violating the Franco-Gcr-
man armiSticc.
WILD RUMORS SPREAD
Howev r. wild rumors that Pc
tain and Marshal Maxine Wev-
gand had fled Vichy: that Pctain
was taking France back into the
war against Germany; that the
French fleet had gone over to the
Allies: that French troops were
fighting the Italians in the Alps:
that tn Frerch fleet was fighting
the Italian fleet-all these rumors
Appeared 10 be without substance
A German account of Petain's
meeting with Marshal Gerd Won
RunStedt in which the marshal
made his brief protest described
the meeting as entirely friendly
opening and closing with cordial
handshakes between Petain and
Won Rundstedt.
Other detailed German accounts
told of orders issued by Vichy gov
crnment to police and military au-
thoritieS not to oppose the Nazi
troop movement and described
French troops as forming cordons
IN the streets along which the Nazi
troop movement was being carried
cut.
LAVAL IN PARTY
Vichy reported that Premier
Pierre Laval who is believed to have
been negotiating with Hitler and
possibly Premier Benito MusSolini
concerning possibilities of bringing
France into the war as a full Axis
partner returned to Vichy Wednes-
day afternoon and went into con-
ference Immediately with Pete in
a flat contradition of the unsub-
Stanti9ted rumors that Petain had
left Vichy for an unknown dcSti-
nation.
AS for the French fleet which
had been Said-in rumors of ap-
parently equally flimsy construc-
tion-to be at sea, possibly off the
Sandman coast. or going over to
the Allies-a HavaS French dis
patch said it still was at Toulon as
late as p. m.
If the French fleet had not left
Toulon, there seemed little doubt
that it would fall into the physical
possession Of Hitler.
DARLAN KEY MAN
There remained. however. the
question of whether Hitler also
would be able to win the allegiance
of the French naval officers and
men needed TO man The WarShips.
In this connection The possible
adherence OF Admiral Jean Francois
Darlan to the Allied cause was of
major significance. Darlan Is at
Algiers and is believed to be con-
sidering a proposal by the American

command to join the fight against
Germany.
Darlan's influence with the
French navy is great and should
he call on his fellow officers not
TO fight the Allies his appeal prob
ably would not go unanswered.
The British radio already was
circulating appeals to the French
navy to seek Allied protection at
Gibraltar.

OBSTACLE REMOVED

Collapse of the Vichy government
which diplomats here believe to be
imminent-could be expected to re-
move the last vestige of scattered
resistance to American troops in
Morocco, Algeria and TuniSia. 1t
was Marshal Henri Philippe Petain
who ordered the French colonies to
resist the Americans. Despite his
leadership of government that has
been a puppet of the Axis for the
last two years. there we're some who
did not believe he would accede to
Hitlers bid for conScription of
Frenchmen for the axis armies and
the French fleet.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-11-11
MANY WILL FLEE

But no one would predi~' '~ot r
would flee France. 1t was recalled
that in the past Petain has adam
antly declined to entertain suggeS-
tionS that he move his government
to an area undominatcd by the
axis.
Irrespective of Pctains decision,
it was expected here that many
clements of the tottcring Vichy re-
gime would flee if possible to Africa
and join the new organization being
formulated there by Gen. Henri
HonOre Giraud, whom Hitler de-
nounced today in his message to the
French people.
