GERMAN DEMANDS ON FRANCE Conference Held At Vichy (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright) (Received February 6, 1.30 a.m.) LONDON, February 5. Admiral Darlan on his arrival at Vichy from Paris immediately saw Marshal Petain. M. Flandin and General Huntziger joined the meeting which lasted one hour and a-half, after which Admiral Darlan again conferred with Marshal Petain alone. The Vichy correspondent of the British United Press stated that the latest attempt at rapprochement between M. Laval and Marshal Petain has not been entirely successful. Admiral Darlan, consequently, will soon return to Paris to keep negotiations open and make an effort to bring M. Laval’s ambitions within limits acceptable to Marshal Petain.
Stuttgart radio broadcasting in French warned France not to place hopes in a British victory. Such an attitude showed “inexcusable frivolity bordering on high treason. Unless all Frenchmen make up their minds without delay to carry out the readjustment indispensable in the political, economic and social spheres the difficulties under which France is labouring will grow worse —possibly with disastrous speed.’'"
