It was said, however, that a re ported commimication from the Brit ish govemipent outlining conditions under which the sea blockade might be relaxed to permit some food to reach France had not yet been re ceived here. The general terms, as reported in Londdn press dispatches, under which British permission possibly could be obtained to fxermit wheat and some other food to reach French Africa, from x^ere, conceivably, some might go to unoccupied France, were re ported to be similar to those already discussed orally by Secretary HuU and Lord Halifax in a series of con- ’ versations. While it was reported here that both the United States and the Brit ish governments were in accord on the desirability of letting some food j reach France, it was understood that jsome form of guarantee that France would not cooperate with the Nazis Florence, who have been spending j front any part of the world can a few weeks with Mrs. J.

Henry-Haye was out spoken after his last visit to the state department in condemning the tight ness of the British blockade, he ap peared more hopeful today about the possibility of obtaining some agreement on food relief and said as much to reporters. It was persistently rumored here that two points of view existed with in the United States govenunmt as to the advisability ot letting France get food at this time. Diplomatic in- formatkm seemed to be to ffie effect that, except for fats and some special items, there was plenty of food to avert famine in Europe but that the Germans had been holding it up both to exert diplomatic pressiure on France and to build up Nazi reserves. For this reason the state department was said to be reluctaqt about bring- Jng pressure upon the British to re lax their blockade restrictions. man, were week-end guests of Mr and Mrs. S. J. Hunter.
