VICHY, prance, May 14.45;») —'I'he Vichy Government approved today the Hitler-Dorian collabor- ation terms In a formal gesture considered by diplomatic circles to be more than anything else a. warning to the United States to stay out of the war.

French informants admowledged that the negotiations conducted by Vice-Premier Admiral Dorian and the German Fuehrer transcend the rzrcrigomlc and enter the political

1e .

Thus diplomats In this capital of unoccupied France regarded t0-

duy's approval of the negotiations-

by Chief of state Petalns cabinet an attempt to present the United States with a full; accompll of col- laboration and thus a measure In-

tended to deter Americans from plunging Into the war. The controlled Paris Mondlal

agency, formerly Havas, said:-

“At the present hour, after the Balkan campaign which eliminat- ed the presence of British troops from the European continent, Gib- raltar excepted, everything Indi- cates that. Germany Is thinking more and more of organization of the continent. The problem ls to find out what place is to be re- served for France In this new or- ganizntlon."

As a matter of fact. the nego- tiations are not believed to be finished at all. France contributed a communique which appears lo be a warning to the United Slates; In exchange she ls reported to be scheduled to re- ceive varied advantages, Inciuding return of a number of prisoners who are primarily farm workers and a shift In the demarcation line between unoccupied and oc- cupied Frnnce which will put Paris In the unoccupied zone, ‘lea-ring the Germans actually oc- cupying only about one filth of France.

But what else France Is giving Germany besides full economic and perhaps full political co-operatlon m5 not yet been Indicated.

BERLIN. May I4-—(AP)-IIlgl1 Nazi sources claimed tonight that Rudolf Hess was a political incom- petent who flew to Britain under the spell of a Messiah complex, be- lieving he could end the war and fly home to Germany in about two days.

Berlin will disavow any peace proposals he might make, It was asserted, but on the other hand the Nazis denied that he carried any documents likely to disclose German state or military sccrcts and insisted he was not a traitor".
