{Halifax, the British ambassador, con- *
jferred with Secretary of State Cor-
Idell HuU for forty minutes today,
; and while officials maintained con
siderable reserve and did not want
to be quoted, it was subsequently in-!
j dicated that this government and the 1
British were mbre or less in accord
on the French food relief problem.
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

Coach Chick Galloway’s charges
are working steadily these days to
prepare a warm reception for their
first opponents of the year. It may
be one of those games where a vic

French ambassador, Gaston Henry-
Haye, who subsequently made pub
lic the form of guarantees he has
been offering the state department
on bdialf of his govmunent.
“Not only will vre accept control
(of distribution) but we will require
it,” the ambassador said. “We will
willingly accept cxmtrol^xf the ship
ment at the port, at the mills where
it will be ground into flour and.on
delivery to the bakeries.”
Whereas, M. 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.

SPRING: 1941 „
For most people in this world
Spring has tender associations. For
Adolf Hitler it is othery^ise. To him,
when the hounds of Spring are on
Winter’s traces, when the frost leaves
the ground, when the Red Gods
make their medicine anew, another
sort of impulse comes. The sap of
empire rises in him. He must break
another promise, commit another
treachery, destroy some nation’s lib
erty.
