PAGE EIGHT THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1910 Campaign Moves Into High THE WEEK IN REVIEW Laval And Franco Zonfer With Hitler FOREIGN Prostrate France reluctantly stum- bled into ,the diplomatic spotlight again last week when capitulator La- val hurried to "somewhere in France" for another hisi fJ-ic Hitler railroad car conference. Late last night, two days after the conference, came the first announcement of the result of that meeting. The official statement immediately followed a 75-minute special meeting of Marshal Petain's Vichy cabinet at which Laval reported the outcome of the Hitler conversations. With full cabinet agreement, the French gov- ernment definitely aligned itself with the Axis aims. Announced Vichy: Hitler and Petain held a "general ex- amination of the situation and, in particular, the means of reconstruct- ing peace in Europe," and were in accordance on the "principle of col- laboration." During the ominous official silence following the conference, speculation ran rampant among political observ- ers. Long awaited, the terse com- munique settled somo rumours, left many yet unceitain. Even chief U.S. diplomat Hull ap- pears to have had a hand in the rail- ;ide meeting. Though refusing to re- veal the contex. Hull admitted to Washington co:respondents yester- day that Prcsident Roosevelt had sent a communication to the French gov- ernment at the time of the confer- ence. State Department officials hinted that the note dealt with U.S. attitude toward France's western hemisphere possessions, with further threats of an American protectorship over. the teriitories. Still unsettled was the status of the French Fleet and French military and naval bases. OnToSpain. .. While the world still waited ex- pectantly for the outcome of the French conference last week, the Fuehrer's conference special sped to the Spanish border to meet unwilling Axis puppet Franco. Another link in the winter offen- sive to drive Britain out of the Mare Nostrum, the meeting was apparently scheduled to follow several previous, but apparently unsuccessful, meet- ings between Spanish Minister Suner and German diplomat general von Ribbentrop. Political observers con- jectured that Herr Hitler was anxious to settle the Spanish stand prepara- tory to concentrated attacks on the British life-line. NoResIte... Despite the focus of attention drawn toward the south and the two rail conferences, Luftwaffe and RAF fly- ers continued to strike heavy blows across the Channel. Blessed with sev- eral foggy nights, London had some let-up in the nerve-wracking duel, but clear spells signaled some of Ger- many's most vicious thrusts at the British capital last week.

His reas-j sons: Mr. Roosevelt was seeking dic- tatorship, was planning to involve U.S. in active war, had failed to solve unemployment. By emphasizing that 'a vote for Roosevelt is a vote against Lewis", the CIO head made the political sit- uation of labor even more confusing than it had been.
