"collaboration" in Hitler's new European order and that, step by step, this would bring more active French cooperation in the fight against the British.

The French trend, informed sources said, was away from a status of neutrality toward that of a belligerent. This raised immediate problems of policy in the American government. Inasmuch as the United States has been acting as a sort of "mediator" between the British and French, a fresh examination of the whole American attitude toward unoccupied France was said to be necessary. What steps might be taken in this connection were undetermined pending more complete data on the scope of French-German negotiations. But the new study of American relations with France was expected to include the future status of French colonies in the Western Hemisphere, notably the island of Martinique in the Caribbean Sea and French Guiana on the South American mainland.

The only other French possessions in the new world are the small islands of Guadeloupe, in the Caribbean, and St. Pierre and Miquelon off the Newfoundland coast. While the United States has no immediate fear of German attempts to use these colonial bases for operations in this hemisphere, American occupation of Martinique and French Guiana as a precaution was said to be a possibility if FrenchGerman collaboration should develop too far. Machinery for such occupation was set up under the Act of Havana last year. More dangerous implications in the new French policy, informed sources said, were the possible German use of French naval units and French bases for operations against British.

A hemisphere defense problem. was possible raised in establishment connection of a German base at Dakar, nearest West African point to South Amer- ica. Armed Guards on Ships. Coast Guard headquarters tonight ordered armed guards placed aboard all French vessels in American harbors, including the luxury liner Normandie and a dozen or more other ships. Headquarters first issued a tentative list of 10 ships boarded in New York, San Pedro, San Francisco and New Orleans and subsequently added the Ile de Ouessant which arrived today at Staten and two small inter-coastal Island.

the Fame and Bernadette, now at St. Thomas, Virgin Guards would be placed aboard any other French vessels arriving in American ports henceforth, officers added. In addition to the Normandie, Fame and Bernadette, other ships and the harbors in which they are docked were listed by the Coast Guard as: New York Royal, Ile de Noirmoutier. Mont Everest. New Orleans-Angouleme, Michigan, Touraine.

San Pedro -Vannes, Wisconsin. San Francisco -Alencon. In addition to the ships mentioned by the Coast Guard, several other French vessels were in American waters as recently as 30 days ago. A Maritime Commission compilation at that time, the latest official list available, showed the Ipanema at St. Thomas, Virgin Islands; Guadeloupe at San Juan, Puerto the Sheherazade at New the Benicia at San Francisco, and the Ile de Re, Leopold and Merope at New York.

It could not be determined 1m- whether the ships mediately the commission had left American waters. The Coast Guard made clear tnat the list it announced was not intended to be complete. 5 Boarded at New York. New York, May the list of five French ships boarded here by the Coast Guard tonight was the $60,000,000 liner Normandie, which has been at her Hudson River pier since the last week of August, 1939. The other vessels boarded were the 3485-ton Fort Royal; 5120-ton Mont Everest; 5703-ton fle de Ouessant, all freighters.

The Ile de OuesQues-sant, all freighters. The Ile de Quessant returned only today from a voyage to Martinique. A score of policemen were on duty at the pier of the French Line where the Normandie was tied up. Three French-speaking enginemen of the Ile de Noirmoutier told re. porters their vessel was boarded by American sailors at about 5:45 p.

m. (EST). The sailors, they said, read an order which they couldn't understand and then told them they could leave the ship if they wished. One sailor went on duty in the engine room, another on bridge and the third on the top deck, the enginemen said. They said the crew of their vessel totaled 30 men, as did that of the Mont Everest.

The Normandie had 130 crewmen aboard, they said. Thirty-seven men were reported to be aboard the Port Royal, while the Ile de Ouessant was said to have a crew of 42. When' the Normandie made her initial transatlantic voyage to New York in 1935, she was undisputed queen of the seas. with a length of 981 feet, she is 83.423 gross tons and has a beam of 117 feet.
