U.S. TRADE WITH FRANCE
SHIPMENTS TO COLONIES RESUMED
(Received August 16, 8.20 p.m,) WASHINGTON, August 14.
The Office of War Information has announced that the United States has resumed its policy of exchanging goods with French colonies, which was suspended after Laval’s assumption of power in Vichy.' The office revealed that two French ships left the United States for Casablanca, North Africa, on August 9. American consular agents will supervise the distribution of the cargoes to prevent the goods reaching other countries. The cargoes included sugar, cotton, cloth, condensed milk, and tobacco.
Two other French vessels sailed from Casablanca on August 11 with cargoes of cork and olive oil, which are much needed in the United States.
