The campaign of newspapers in German-occupied Paris had centred on a demand for Joint German-French defence of Ds- kar, and other strong points of French West Africa, against any United States occupation. The press has implied that a thorough shake-up at Vichy is necessary to achieve this.

The Marshal himself has been locking particularly fit in the last few days and persons who talked with him said he is showing the usual tenacity of purpose and that iie is unlikely to be stampeded.
