government feels that it cannot con-

respect than II accords 10 its OWE

the reasons which may have enter

"1-France was "a nation in
mourning for the four years OF the
war. To permit the removal of the
French dead by relatives. with con-
seQuent funerals and renewed

long period of national depression
