. Although Spanish observers in Berlin do not believe Hitler is contemplating drastic action against France at present, other sources consider that the Franco-German situation may be approaching a crisis.
The latest move is Admiral Darlan's departure fof Paris, where, according to. the Rome radio/ he is to meet M. de Brinon, through whom Hitler sent his latest Note to Marshal Petain.
The Free French news agency in London says that the Note, which is couched in threatening terms, not only demands a change in the French Government, with the reintroduction of politicians who are prepared to collaborate with Germany, but also alludes to the strategic situation in the Mediterranean. Presumably this is directed at Bizerta, upon which Hitler for some time has been casting hungry eyes. ' ■' . J^
