Send Aid "Before it is Too Late "Plea
Sent to Roosevelt by France's Premier;
Nation's Defense to Last Ditch Vowed
TOURS, France, June 13. (AP) An appeal by Premier
Reynaud to President Roosevelt for a public declaration that the
United States would give all aid to the allies save an expedition
ary force and to send help "before it is too late" was officially
disclosed today.
The premier declared that the French would, if need be, shut
themselves up in one of their provinces, or go to North Africa or
even to possessions in America to carry on the fight against
Germany.
The appeal was conveyed in a message to Mr. Roosevelt,
dated June 10 the day Italy declared war on France and Great
Britain and the day that the president, in his Charlottesville, Va.,
speech promised material aid
I lie premier asKoo tne presment
to tell Americans that "we are re
solved to sacrifice ourselves in the

President Roosevelt was said to
have replied to the appeal, saying
that "surely 90 per rent" of the
world which wants to live in peace
"can and must find a way to muke
their will prevail."
Heynand said he realized the
gravity or any gesture by the Tuft

(France's possessions In Ameri

America; the Islands ofi Martinique
and Guadeloupe In the West Indies,
and Saint Pierre and MlquePin off

The premier recalled the Roose

In which the president said that
the liberty, peace and security of
90 per cent of the world were im
periled by the other 10 per cent.

ANKARA, June 13. (AP)
The Turkish government today
signed a new commercial
agreement with Germany.
The accord came as a bomb
shell, especially since Turkish
leaders had insisted Turkey
would fulfill her mutual aid
pacts with Britain and France
and the controlled press had
severely attacked Italy.

ministry in an attempt to learn the
significance of lite move.
The accord, II was announced,

It was the result of months of
negotiations between the govern

(The deal involves about $11,

quoted at .fiK In New York today.)

difficulties.
Informed circles said the agree

Allied Forces, With Support
Of American-Made Bombers;
Holding Against Onslaught
British Continue to Pour Reinforcements Into Battle
to Save Paris, Which Is Declared "Open City," to
Spare It From Devastation of War; Defenders
Declare Germans Paying Heavy Price for Gains.
By the Associated Press
Supported by American-made bombers, Gen. Maximo Wey
gand's French poilus hurled the Germans back 5 miles north of
Paris today, a French military spokesman said, and the allied line
was reported holding elsewhere under the onslaught of 120 naxi
divisions.
DNB, the official German news agoncy, meanwhile carried a
brief dispatch under a Paris datelino saying it was officially an
nounced that Paris would not be defended apparently sparing
the city from the devastation of war..
With the beteaguerod French capital now declared an "open
city" technically inviolate against bombing and shelling -at
French spokesman said the French have no intention of fighting In
the streots of Paris itself.
Battle-weary poilus were holding stubbornly all along the
200-mile line, the spokesman said, despite the fact that many of
them have not been relieved since Hitler launched his massive of
fensive from the Somme on June 5.
The attacking Germans, he said, have boen relieved two or
three times.
Germans Paying Heavy Prio
Gen. Weyqand's deep "quicksand" system of tank traps hat
I worked and is still working, according to the best available in
formation. But it is another question to withstand the determina
tion to sweep every defense point regardless of the cost in men
and material.
French dispatches repeatedly emphasize that Hitler's armies
are paying dearly for every mile of ground gained, and paying
too high a price. It is on this basis that the allies pin hopes of
eventually stemming the nazi tide. .
A French spokesman admitted, however, fhat ftie siuatiort
everywhere along the north front is "serious."
