and set himself up as head Of the
vichy government.
Abetz had no fierce escort Satur-
day, assuming instead the mild posi-
ton Of mediator" between the
heads Of the German and French
governments. This speaks volumes
on the respective positions OF the
French and Germans, now that the
Nazis are nearing military defeat.
According to reports, Abetz showed
the utmost consideration for the
sensibilities Of the Marshal
The compromise which Abetz pro-
posed, according to my informant
who just arrived here from Vichy,
Is as follows:
Marshal Petain would deliver his
long-promised message to the
French people, informing them q
his intention to give back its powers
to Frances Parliament. Simultan-
eously, IN order to appease Laval the
marshal would draft another con-
stitutional act, entrusting the chief
OF government with the job OF con-
voking Parliament to decide on
Marshal Petain's successor
Signs Of Wavering Seen.
Marshal Petain's answer to what
can only be a theoretical ofIer-as 1t
is likely that long before Marshal
Petain's death neither Laval nor the
Germans will have any say In the
matter-is not yet known. It is
firmly believed that the marshal will

return to his former position.
On the other hand, the little
prestige he has resained by his
recent firmness will vanish, If he
proves willing to cooperate once
more with Laval and the conquerors
Of France. There Is little doubt that
the marshal's conscience Is tremen-
dously troubled these days and that
numerous secret meetings are taking
place in Vichy among the marshal's
advisers.
All those good Frenchmen who
applauded the marshal's firm stand
are deeply disappointed now. They
believe that his reception OF Abetz
Is sign OF wavering.

BERN, Dec. 9.-The meeting be-
tween French Chief of State Petain
and Otto Abetz, the recently-rein-
stated German Ambassador to Paris
last Saturday, probably will lead to
Marshal Petain's acceptance of
Germany's offer to compromise with
Vichy, according to information
reaching here today. This action
would result in Marshal Petain's
relinquishing his stand as a political
striker"
Marshal Petain last saw Abetz on
December Is, 1941. On that occasion
Abetz was accompanied by an escort
Of fierce young Gestapo agents
armed with machine guns. During
the course of one Of the rowdiest
interviews on record, Abetz de-
maf1ded the immediate release of
