By J. F. Sanderson Canadian Press Staff Writer

WASHINGTON. May il-(CP)— Gaston Henry-Haye, French Am- bassador to the United States con- ferred today for an hour with state Secrztary Cordell Hull, while in- fcrmrd sources przdicted the Un- ited States would reject any pro- tests from Vichy over Martnlque, the French Island in the Caribbean.

The United States is seeking to negotiate a direct arrangement with Admiral Georges Robert. French High Ccmmirsioncr lit Martinique for peaceful oo-oper- allon in defence matures in the Caribbean and. lwcodng to in- formed souices. is in no mood to be sdetracked by protests or thlcals from the Vichy government.

American oifcals were disn- clincd to talk of the terms being offered Rebel-t by Admiral Jchn H. Hoover, whcse arrival in Mar- tinique was announced Saturday. Henry-Hoyle likewise was uncom- municative.

From other sources. however, it was learned that the Un’ted States will not negotiate a solution to the strategic future of Martinique with s government dominated by Pierre Laval, which it regards as pro- Geiman and und=r the complete dcmfiiation of Berln.
