WASHINGTON, July 11- (AP)--A settlement remov- ing the threat of British and French naval hostilities near the Caribbean island of Mar- tinique zlppczlred in prospect tonight through the efforts of the United States

lioth Britain and France were said to be anxious to clear up what was amount- ing to a virtual British blockade of the French ls- land. The aim of Britain has been t0 prevent ships and planes from escaping and possibly falling into Ger- man hands.

With the two former Al- lies no longer on diplomatic speaking terms, Secretary of State Cordell Hull was understood to have inter- vened to seek a solution.

llctails of tllc prospective arrangclncnt were not disclosed, but it was expected to involve a lfrcucll agrcclllcllt to keep any warships or planes at Mar- tinique or to allow them tn be interned at some ucuirzll port.

Among illeuarshlps tllcre is

LONDON’. July 11 -(CP) —'I'he government was reported tonight to have postponed the scheme for moving British children to the Dcminlons.

The press association's lobby correspondent said the decision would be announced in House of Commons next week and added that should the scheme come into gpgration “it will be much modi- e ." . Reports had been current since yesterday that the children would stay at home and face it out be-

cause of a shortage of ships to convoy them. There have been some sugges-

tions in Commons that the Unit- ed States furnish both ships and "envoys.

French Gov’t Moves To Versailles

BERNE. Switzerland. July ll — iAPi - Defeated France tonight ‘urued back to the old provincial system of a bv-gone day. with an authoritarian base and a seat of wovcrnmcnt ill the Palace of Kings in Gerrnan- occupied Versailles.

"Capitalism; and StlClflliFlll are thlnos of the past," said Marshal Pctaln, 84-_vcar-old head of state 12v decree, in a broadcast addrcs:

‘:1 llrigllbnrlvlg cruntrles. "Tt . "..'l\\' llcressarv i0 fiuht against al illberllatirlnalisms."

Then he outlined France's new

system under German domina- tion. a strange medley of the poli- 11091 past and the political pres- en ..

He will have full ‘icizlslatlve pow- er until a new chamber is formed and in case of serious internal or external crisis he is empowered to lcaislate without consulting -t.he nrrlnlber at all.

The powers Petain will assume are greater than any one French- man has held since Napoleon Ill’.

His powers will ressmbie those exercised by the dictator of Na- tionalist Spain, General Franco. He will be backed by apolitical triumvirat/e. Pierre Laval, Adrien Maqiuct and General Maximo Wcy- gall .

With resignation tomorrow, Al- bert Lebrun. last President of the Third Republic, goes into retire- ment.

This. the Marshal said, is what is to supplant the dead French re- public:-

A government of 12nationalmin- isters. with headquarters at Ver- sailles, but some of the ministries to function in Paris. which also is in Nazi hands.
