Demands of Axis Poarers Not
Revealed. Nazi Armies Sweep
^ On As Peace Moves Puriied.
Bordeaux, Franbe, June 19. — The
cabinet of Marshal Henri Petain to
day named plenipotentiaries to re
ceive Adolf Hitler's terms for an
armistice but the fight against ad
vancing German amies went on and
official sources wero without any in
dication of the demands to be made
upon France.
Marshal Petain gave the names—
still undisclosed—of the two French
plenipotentiaries to Jose Felix Lc
Querica,. jUxs. ambasMd^^
ter a cabinet meeting calleinto con
sider the Grerman reply to a request
for armistice terms.
The German reply merely asked
the French to name plenipotentiaries
to receive the terms agre^ upon at
Munich by Hitler and Italian Premier
Benito Mussolini.
This agreement to receive armis-j
tice terms, it was emphasized, did not!
mean the end of hostilities and it wasj
believed that several days must pass'
before the terms can be received and
tran^itted to the ^french govern
ment. Thereafter, it will be up to the
govemiftent to accept or reject the
terms.
)Vhat the French government could
do other than accept the German,
terms was uncertain as it was admit
ted that nobody knew where the
German armies would be by the time
the terms arejEPsejsieji^.
Scane source close to the govern
ment pointed out that the French had
never definitely rejected the British
proposal for a union of their two em
pires in order to continue resistance
outside of France.
f
(In London ii was said that the
British proposal might be renewed
later if circumstances were favor
able).
It was assumed that the union plan
mighPbe taken up again if necessary,
but this seemed unlikely, regardless
of the terms—expected to be harsh—
offered by Germany. «
(In London, diplomatic -sources
heard that during their conference
at Munich, Mussolini had urged Hit
ler to modulate the harsh terms that
Germany intended to impose on
France. The^e sources said that Mus
solini indicated that if Germany was
moderate, Italy would confine her
demands to Corsica, Tunisia, Nice
and certain African areas such as
Djibouti, and that II Duce told Hit
ler that it would be wise to consume
the French hnperial cherry in sev
eral bhas instead of one. These re
ports twere not confirmed).

Twenty Sub-Chasers Built For

Washington, June 19:—The navy
disclosed today that it had cleared
the way for the Electric Boat com
pany of Groton, Conn., to sell to the
British 20 high spe^ submarine
chasers and motor torpedo boats ori
ginally ordered for the United States
fleet.
The navy department changed its
contract with the boat compa*^, of,-
ficials reported ,to provide for* a de
lay in delivery of 20 vessels ordered
by the navy.
The manufacturing company«thus
will be able to sell that number of
craft to the British.
Some members of the senate naval
affairs committee, meanwhile, de
manded an investigation of the
nav3r*8 action.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir
ginia, announced that he would ask
thaLtbe committee be given full de
tails of the transaction.
Navy spokesmen emphasized to re
porters that no ships which had been
delivered to the navy and become its
property were being relea^ for sale
