NAZIS NOT SATISFIED
VICHY ATTITUDE
COLLABORATION ISSUE
LONDON, February 17.
The Germans are now saying that Admiral Darlan must go to Paris again and confer with M. Laval and Herr Abetz.
Apparently the Germans are still not satisfied with the attitude of the Vichy Government. The German radio reports that the former Minister of Aviation, now one of the most energetic advocates of German co-opera-tion, said today that the aims of the new French National Popular Party could only be realised by its taking over power. The very atmosphere, he said, was charged with revolution. His statement was made at a demon* stration of the party in Paris.
Germany is generally believed to have demanded the French fleet and naval bases. Though she did not get them after Admiral Darlan's last visit to Paris, Germany does not regard the matter as closed.
The Vichy correspondent of the Ger-man-controlled newspaper "Petit Parisien" Ms at pains to make this point which sums up the German position. "The era of great negotiations is not ended. France and Germany have studied agreements, some of which have been satisfactorily concluded." He adds that some French opinion believes that collaboration must extend to trade.
