VICHY, France, Aug. 22.-RE
Britain's blockade Of Europe was
branded tonight by the foreign min

Paul Baudouin, Foreign Minister

AN act of hostility against
France by his statement Tuesday
that no food would be permitted to
pass the British naval barrier to
Nazi-conquered countries.

bow before this decision" S
Baudouin. ut must do everything
in it's power to save this country

Baudouin did not say directly
what France planned to do but he
did assert: whether they wish it
or not; whether they understand
it or not; the nations of this whole
continent are going to be united
on a growing solidarity"
Churchill, he added, has taken
Britain out of this sphere Of "soli-
darity.'
Howard E. Kershner, European
director of the American Friends
committee, announced
after consultation with
French officials that certain"
measures would be taken to in-
crease the aid to French refugees.
