STIFF TERMS FORECAST
AS AXIS CHIEFS END
FOUR-HOUR PARLEY
Adolf Hitler and Benito Musolini agreed ? Tuesday j
night on the terms on which they propose to grant peace
to France and left Munich immediately after conclusion
of their conference in the famed Fuehrerhaus.
There was no immediate indication of how high would
be the price France must pay for cessation of fighting.
DNB, the official news agency, issued a brief communi
que $t the end of the four-hour conference:
"The Fuehrer and Duce in conference -at Munich i
Tuesday agreed upon the position of both governments
toward the French demand for an armistice."
The meeting of the two axis leaders began at 4 p. m.
(9 a. m. E. S. T.) in this city, birthplace of Nazism and
scene of many historic events of the last two decades.
ORDERED TO KEEP FIGHTING
Meantime, Premier Marshal Petain and Generalissimo
Weygand appealed Tuesday night to all French forces j
to keep on fighting until an armistice is actually signed.
Tbe appeal was broadcast by
the French radio even as Hitler
and Mussolini met to dictate ex
pected stilt terms of peace (or
France.
There was no immediate indi
cation whut the terms would be
? Berlin newspapers said confi
dently they would be "harsh" ?
or whether they would be accept
able under France's insistence of
"an honorable peace."
The Petain-Weygand order told
the battle-weary French Poilus
not to lay down their arms until
an armistice is signed and sealed.
Peace negotiations have not
even begun, the 84-year-old prem
ier told his men.
"The duty of all is to continue
resistance." he said.
(Further indication that there
may be no "peace with honor" for
France was seen in a Kwuters
(fklttfh news agency ) report at
tributed to t*he French radio, to
tbe effect that the Fren<Ji cabi
net, in its meeting Tuesday was
considering the problem of sup
plies as well as that of diplom
acy.)
In Loudon, Prime Minister
Churchill told a cheering House
of Commons that any German in
vasion of England would likely be
"drowned in the sea or blown to
pieces attempting to land."
British Challenge to Hitler
In effect, Churchill challenged
Hitler to try to storm the British
Isles, declaring:
"Hitler knows he will have
to break us in this island or lose
this war."
Churchill proclaimed the begin
ning of "the battle for Britain"
and said defeat would plunge ev
en the Unitad States "into the
abyss of a new Dark Age."
In Rome, authoritative Fascists
said Hitler and Mussolini planned
a separate peace for France on
terms that would break British
Influence forever on continental i
Europe.
As France still fought with des
perate fury and rallied 350,000
troops to a new defense line near
the junction of the Soane and
Dubs Rivers, north of Chalons
sur-Soane, the German press cla
mored for harsh terms to avenge
the 21-year-old 'humiliation" of
the Versailles Treaty.
Hitler Editor Assails Weygund
Hitler's own newspaper, the
Volkiscrer Beobachter, declared
bitterly :
"We remember with the great
est clarity the gray hours of the
morning ot Not. 11. 1918, when
the same Weygand who today Is
the French generalissimo dictated
to aa heroic toe which lost hon
orably conditions ot, an armistice
more brutal than anything since
the destruction ot Carthage.
"He and his master, froch, then
did not speak as soldiers to sol
diers, but as prison wardens to
criminals. We are not vengeful,
but we have ceased being foolish
Oerman sentimentalists."
Terms of the axis-dictated
peace requested by France were
not expected to be disclosed until
after France's new soldier-prem
ier, the aged Marshal Petaln, has
accepted or rejected them.
It was made emphatically clear
that France, wounded though she
may be, stood ready to light on
unless granted an "honorable
peace."
Thus. Foreign Minister Paul
Baudoin declared:
"If we are given the choice be
tween resistance and bonor. the
French army and the whole
French people will know what to
do."
France's powerful fleet, second
qply to Britain's among Euro
pean nations, was reported in
Berlin as probably h%x4pg been al
ready "spirited off" by the British
to prevent It from falling Into
the hands of Oermany.
Fleet Older British Command
The fleet has Been under Brit
ish command since the start of
the war.
Still smashing forward. Hitler's
conquering armies captured Mete,
Dijou. Belfort fortress and the
French armament center of Le
Creuzot. the Nazi high command
announced.
"Collapse of the French army
is progressing rapidly," Hitler's
headquarters assfrrted, declaring
Herman troops hare crossed the
Orne River at several points be
tween Caen and Le Mans, in
northwest France.
"Far more than 100,000 pris
oners" wqre taken Monday alone,
the communique said, along with
vast amounts of war booty.
Fighting continued, meanwhile,
on the French front as the Ger
man army carried out its order to
smash the last vestiges of armed
resistance, but Naiis said that
"capitulation has been carried
out."
British Offered Union With
France
Great Britain stoutly proclaim
ed her own continued resistance
to the foe and disclosed she had
offered to unite with France as
one "nation in the last gloomy
hours before France chose a bit
ter request for peace.
The British offer apparently
was rejected, since it meant con
tinuation of the struggle, and the
Paul Reynaud cabinet fell Sunday
night as a result.
The French command issued a
communique Monday niglit de
claring that the French armies
"still are fighting with the same
bravery for the honor of the flag"
after 13 days of almost continu
ous retreat from the rushing Na
zis.
A French military spokesman
admitted, however, the French
had been divided into four seg
ments by the German spearheads
which disrupted the confused
front. Heaviest fighting was re
ported around Orleans,! which the
Germans Monday said they had
captured.

DARK AGES SEEN FOR D. S. IF
BATTLE IS LOST BY BRITAIN
London. ? Winston Churchill proclaimed Tuesday to
his Parliament and people the beginning of "the battle
for Britain" and declared direly that its loss would
plunge even the United States "in the abyss of a new
Dark Age."
To a House of Commons echoing with wild cheers, he
cried:
"Let us brace ourselves to our duty. And so boar
ourselves that if the British Empire and Commonwealth
last for a thousand years, men will still say: 'This was
thoir finest hour'."
Ur^es French to Resist
Admitting the Ion* of the bat
tle of France, Churchill neverthe
less urged"the French to continue
to resist in some form lest they
"cast away their future." He
held out hope the French would
light on? he did not s?? how.
He re-counted the men and4be
ships with which Britain will re
list invasion, and said every man
was now in the nation's defense
Forces for whom a gun could be
fouad. He said that seven-elgbth
of the British troops sent to
France, or 350.000 or 400,000,
now are back In England. "Where
wp now have under arms 1.260,.
000 men."
He foresaw a great pressure of
coming strain on the Nazi regime
"with almost all Europe writh
ing and starving under its heel."
And he went on:
"Upon this battle depends the
survival of Christian civilization.
Hitler knows he will have to
break us Id this island or lose the
war. . . .
EUROPEAN
WAR NEWS
Bordeaux, France, June 19.; ? I
Reports were circulated widely j
tonight ? without official confirm
ation ? that Germany's major
peace terms are- unacceptable to
the French and that President
Lebrun and other leaders have
none, or soon may go, to Algiers
to preserve the framework of a
fighting government.
Lebrun, one report said, was
or would be accompanied to
Africa by the presidents of the
: Chamber of Deputies and the
Senate, respectively Edouard Ijer
riot and Jules Jeanney.
The reports seemed to converge
in the sense that France may try!
to fight on.
Officially it was stated merely j
that the French government has
submitted the names of its negoti-l
a tors to the Germans and is await- 1
ing an answer.
Too Harxli
However, tonight's reports said
: that the government of Marshal
j Henri Philippe Petain had learn- 1
>ed the gist of (he main German
terms, and had found them too
| harsh.
| (A British radio broadcast pick
ed up tonight by NBC said three
French representatives, General
Huntziger, Paul Baudouiu and
Leon Noel, had left for an un
disclosed destination.)
If France does continue the
fight, it was thought likely she
would eventually fall back on herj
| North African possessions from
j which her armies and those of
Britain could squeeze Italian
| Libya.
There has been no let-up in the;
determined Nazi drive, no halt in [
I the slow withdrawal of weary
I French armies.
Latest German pushes appar
! entl.v were aimed at a quick clean
j up of France's Knglisb Channel
I coast, and the cutting off of I
France's third city, Lyon.
France Announced tonight that
her troops had delivered a "new i
battle" against the enemy on the'
middle Loire River before with-i
drawing to "establish themselves
on a more favorable line."
Rome. June 1#. ? A warning by
Ihe United States that it would
not stand for annexation by Ger
many or Italy of British or French
territory in the American hem
isphere was disclosed today while
Fascists discussed the axis peace
terms for France.
Italian sources predicted the
terms would be pointed toward
preventing the republic from giv
ing any help to Britain.
They indicated that Germany,
and perhaps Italy, too. would
maintain an army of occupation in
France after an armistice based
I on severe terms.
Aside from tills, there was no
| unanimity here in predictions as
I to just what Benito Mussolini and
Adolf Hitler had demanded of the
beaten French, other than the
long-held supposition that France
would be required to give up
some of its territory, both on the
continent and in its colonies.
Italy already Is claiming Savoy
with Nice, Corsica. Tunisia and
Jlboutl.
The newspaper Tribuna said
simply ."there is no doubt that1
the conditions will be justly sev
ere" but the authoritative Giorn-j
ale D'ltalia declared they would
be more generous than those Im
posed upon Germany at Versailles.
II Popolo di Roma reported
economic terms for the armistice
under which France would be
compelled to turn over its gold,
raw materials, factories and the
like for use in the campaign to
smash Britain, but persons in
government circles said these de
clarations were without author
ity.
Tokyo, June 20. ? (Thursday) I
? Powerful political factions urg
ed the Japanese government to
day to turn to Southeastern Asia
and even occupy "protectively"
the rich French possession of 1
Indo-China in anticipation of col
lapse of the French Empire.
Already the government, tim
ing its action to coincide with
discussion of the French armistice
terms, was reported reliably to
have dropped a reminder in Ber
lin and Rome of Its "concern"
over Indo-China.
This reminder. It was under
stood, was accompanied by recol
lection of the friendly relations
between the three powers.
A reliable source disclosed,
moreover, that Germany has re
iterated to Japan that she will not
ask for the return of Japan's
mandated islands. stretching
many miles east of the Philip
pines above the Equator.
The islands, the Marshalls,
Carolines, and Mariannes, were
mandated to Japan under the
Treaty of Versailles.
It Is not known whether Japan
is asking the axis powers for a
continuance of the status quo In
the 281,000 square miles of
Indo-China, or desires a "blank
chpck" from Germany and Italy
to use as she will. Japan is link
ed to the axi* powers by an antl
