VICHY, Jan. 2—Marshal Petain appesled to Germany last night to relax the terms of the armistice im- posed after Prance’s fall and indi- cated this was a necessary prelude to greater French-German collabo- ration. In a New Year broadcast, the aged chief of state described his country’s present situation as a “false peace” and asserted war only continued in a different form with domestic dis- unity. He said he was allowed only ‘“half-liberty” but was trying to do his best. “As a European power France knows her duties toward Europe,” Marshal Petain said. “As a mari- time and colonial power she pos- sesses a free empire—now exposed to many dangers. As a civilized power she has kept her spiritual and privileged place in the world despite her defeat. “This particular situation of France cannot escape Germany’s notice. It will suggest to her that we hope for modification of the statute imposed on us after her vic- tory (the armistice signed in Com- plegne Forest).” The result of such modification, he continued, would be “the sincere rapproachement between the two nations that is the hope of their gov- ernments and peoples.” “Our dignity will be restored, our economy relieved.” (Germany has made France pay 400,000,000 francs—mbout $8,- 000,000—a day as the expense of the army of occupation. There have been many hints this might be reduced in return for further French aid) Noting the war now extended over | the greater part of the world, the | marshal declared: “France remains outside the con- | flict. But she cannot look on with- out anguish at the struggle * * °. Neither morally nor materially could she hold herself aloof from events. “Frenchmen . . we must do our best to regain our dignity. | United, we shall recoves our coun- try.” VYan Mook Named to Post | In Netherlands Indies By the Associated Press. LONDON, Jan. 2—Hubertus J.| van Mook has been named lieuten- | | ant governor of the Netherlands In- | dies and his recent appointment as | colonial minister in the Netherlands | government in London has been canceled, it was announced officially yesterday. | Aneta News Agency said Van| Mook had been assigned to his new post at the request of the governor general of the Indies.
