Laval appears Restored to Active position

VICHY, France, Dec. ill-MP) —Wllh Pierre Laval apparently restored to a11 active if unofficial place in French-German dealings, the Petain Government tonight conferred new powers upon Fer- nand de Brinon, whom Laval es- tablished in Paris as "Ambassador of France" for the purposes of col- laboration with the conquerors.

Official sources indicated they considered the “affalre Laval" as closed now that Otto Abetz. l-Ili.~ ler's envoy, has returned to Paris, llllflllg Laval with him.

Lavals friends thought lie would resume French-German negotia- tions 1n Paris. although Vichy Governineiii. sources insisted he had no official nnsslon. In iuiy event, Abetzs VlSlL here seems to have achieved its aim. and xiego- tiatiofis with the Germans are ex- pected to start again.

(This view also was reflected in Berlin, where it was indicated the storm over Laval had blown over.

iDlplornatic observers in Swit- zerland believed that Marshal Pe- tain 11nd the group of ministers which ousted Laval from the Gov- erninenr. last Friday night have been obliged to back water con- siderablv from their Laval stand.

iFriday night, Laval was strip- ped of nll his governmental func- tions as Vice Premier, Foreign Minister and administrative heir to Pciain and placed under vir- tual arrest ai. his home near Vichy.

Mountings, mechanism and trail- ers all are being made 1:1 ihc Doin- mion, with three faciorles for guns and five for mc-untlngs.

No figures were given on the ex- pected rate of production, size of guns or costs involved. Existing plants are being remodelled for the work.

Annual output of arms and muni- ilons. when the program ls at its peak -—Mr. Drysdale expected this would be next folk-has been esti- mated at. close to 619000410000 but. Mr. Drysdale would not offer an opinion on the exact figure.

He said production ln this field was moving smoothly. accompanied by "some growing pains," and that "there is nothing we cannot. make in Canada. as good as it ls made elsewhere."

Within six months, he said, “You are going to see a pretty busy Can- ada." He quoted British experts sent over lo assist in munltion pro- duction as saying they were “as- lounded" at the quality of work turned out. in the Dominion.

A complete line of motnr equip- ment, from snmll carriers to huge tanks would be produced. Many of these vehicles already are in produc- tlon, he said. Production of several i352? of tank ls expected early 1n
