FRANCE WILL ACCEPT NAZI WORLD ORDER Vichy Envoy to Paris Asserts Principles of Britain, U. Not Favored by Petain HITS AT WELLES, ROOSEVELT Chief of State, Aides Convene In Day-Long Parley Over Future of Empire (By Associated Press) VICHY, Unoccupied France, Aug. 9. Fernand De Brinon, envoy of the Vichy government in occupied France, declared today in an interview in Paris, made public in Vichy tonight, that France has decided to accept the German version of the new world order a3 opposed to. that of Britain and the United States.

As the interview was made public there was considerable speculation on the results of the day-long conference here among Chief of State Marshal Philippe Petain, Vice-Premier Jean Darlan, Gen. Jflaxime Weygand, pro-consul in Afrha, and Defense Minister Gen. Cliarles Huntziger on the future of the French empire. The four men met after postponement of a scheduled cabinet mesting, which had been regarded as important. More Time Given To Study Defense The cabinet meeting was deferred at the last minute to give the leaders 48 hours longer to study the question of defense with Weygand.

Authorized circles said they were talking over "the delicate question of French-American relations" created by diplomatic exchanges between the two countries on the means by which the French intend to defend the empire. De Brinon's statement, as released here, said it was up to France to decide on collaboration with Germany and that it was "no affair of the Messrs. Roosevelt and Sumner Welles." De Brinon pictured the Anglo-Saxon concept of the world as completely different from that of the European order which France had decided to follow. Principles Held as Being Incompatible "This difference," he said, "rests principally on the fact that the principles which guide the attitude of Mr. Roosevelt and his collaborators and those which Marshal Petain wishes to apply to reconstruction of the country are incompatible." He added that there were two conceptions of the world the one advanced by Great Britain and supported by Roosevelt and the other based on national socialism which "the French government has considered it in the interest of France to follow." The British Broadcasting in a broadcast directed to Europe but heard in New York by both N.B.C.

and C.B.S., said "Admiral Darlan is preparing the French fleet for German service." It said French sailors in German prison camps were being fed extra rations and were being released as fast as possible. It ended, however, by saying the French people and "France's allies" did not believe the French seamen would collaborate with Germany."

The two R.A.F.'s the British royal air force and the red air force will ride Europe's lengthening night in superlative raids that will turn German cities into "hells of death and destruction" before the year is out, the British predicted tonight. Informed sources said that the dropping of British bombs would be doubled by longer nights permitting two continental trips nightly for each bomber and that the Russians would use mammoth, new six-motored bombers carrying bomb loads of 7,000 pounds.

In the light of this prediction, the R.A.F.'s present eight-week-old offensivo would be little more than a scratching of the surface. The R.A.F. reported leaving enormous fires last night in Kiel and bomb ruins also in Hamburg and elsewhere in northern Germany, at a cost of four planes. By day the R.A.F. swept the English channel and northern France, reporting destruction of 18 German fighters against a los3 of 10 British.

Moscow Promises Berlin More Raids (DNB, the German news agency, said that 13 British planes and one German were lost in channel fighting Saturday). Russia already has launched upon long range assaults. Berlin has been the target for the past two nights.

Moscow dispatches said the red armies were fighting doggedly along the entire front from the Baltic to the Black sea, holding the Germans at bay with slashing counterattacks.

"Increasingly tougher" British -American measures to curb the Japanese advance southward toward the Dutch East Indies, Malaya and the Philippines, or northward toward hard-fighting Russia, are an urgent topic of diplomatic discussion, a qualified informant said tonight. Economic sanctions already imposed in collaboration by Britain and the United States "are merely the first step in a policy toward Japan which is to grow increasingly tougher," this source said. "What the next steps will be naturally remain secret," he said. "Naturally you don't show your hand to the other fellow." Aside from the latest Japanese threat to Thailand with dangers to rich and politically uneasy India and the Burma road to China, a (Continued on Pago 2, Column 3 capable of hours of sustained flight over Germany besides the more than round-trip of attack on Berlin, are one of Russia's surprise weapons. Their six motors are two more than the five types of fortress aircraft, two of them American-made, which the British are using.

The Russian plane's bomb load of three one one-half tons, however, is less than that of the four-motored fortress types. It is a mid-wing monoplane, armed with eight machine-guns. The six 600-horsepower motors are said to carry the plane 290 miles an hour. It is also used as a troop-carrier. Russia' is said to have six other types of bombers, including a four-engine job which carries 6,600 pounds of bombs and is as fast as 310 miles an hour.

Germans Forced to Move Bases Back Lozovsky told those at his Moscow press conference that the Red air force was ceaselessly bombing the German rear, especially airports in eastern occupied territory, forcing the Germans to establish bases farther behind the lines. He said that Russian fighting planes had proved faster, that Russian morale was superior as evidenced by reports of Russian ramming of German planes jn dogfights and that "the more we down them (Continued on Page 2, Column 4) Red Star reported the cutting up of 10 new Nazi divisions with a toll of 50,000 invaders slain or wounded.

Charles A. Lindbergh charged tonight that the nation was operating under a policy of government by subterfuge leading to war. "I fully realize that the charge of subterfuge is serious in the extreme," he said in an address at an America First rally, "but let me recall to your mind a few facts that lie behind it." Lindbergh asserted that while the American people were promised peace, the British were told the United States would enter the war. He charged that President Roosevelt had not renewed his election promise that American boys would not bo sent to fight in a foreign war. He said the American people were misled by substituting the word "patrol" for "convoy." "The hypocrisy and subterfuge that surrounds us comes out in every statement of the war party," ho asserted.

Navy officials said that a work stoppage by 348 A.F.L. carpenters and dock workers had seriously delayed national defense work at the Philadelphia yard, where some of the country's big fighting ships are built. The commandant referred the case to the navy department at Washington. He said that the stop page Was due to Refusal of the carpenters to abide by a master Wge agreement fixing a uniform pay of time and a half for overtime and Saturdays. No Further Word on Government Action No further word came from officials who indicated Friday that the government was prepared to take direct action to get production resumed at the Kearny yards.

The strike, affecting $193,000,000 of ship orders, centers on demands by the C.I.O. Industrial Union of Marine and Shipbuilding workers for a union shop. About 17,000 employes are idle. On another labor front the Association of Communication Equipment workers called for a strike vote among its members employed by Western, Electric Co. in 13 cities from New York to San Francisco.

As the one hundred-first week of the war ended today, Associated Press records showed that at least 1,813 ships of all nations had been lost and persons killed in the conflict at sea. From the sinking of the liner Athenia on Sept. 3, 1939, the day that Britain declared war on Germany, to the newly-reported torpedoing of the Greek freighter Nikoklis, a known total of 6,829,004 tons of merchant and naval shipping has been sunk or scuttled.

State department officials expressed the opinion the convention would be one of the most serious in the organization's history.
