being aided by the British and
added that women, children and
missionaries were killed and wound
ed in a day-long bombardment of
the city, which was said to be rum
ming short of food.
M. Laval. in his note issued after a
cabinet session, asserted British
radio announcements which said
that parts of French territory were
to be abandoned to Germany con-
stituted an attempt Ito ruin the only
attempt we can make toward OBJ
tanning the best possible peace"
He said the present negotiations
are aimed at creating between
France and Germany an atmosphere
of mutual comprehension and to
have this policy ratified by public
opinion" and with seeking methods
of applying the principle of COL
liberation already agreed upon,
The French War Ministry, mean
while. issued long account of what
happened from the day the Ger
mans attacked France last May
until the armistice and disclosed
that defeat was considered certain
as early as June II, two days before
the Nazi entry into Paris.
Outclassed in Numbers.
The ministry said France was out
classed completely by Germany in
numbers of trained men, equipment
and industrial production, and as
serted that although the retreat to
the south was ordered on June IL,
The government decided not to ask
for cessation of hostilities immedi-
ately because of the British.
At the beginning of June, the ac-
count said, the French had lost SO
divisions in the north and on June
II. between the Maginot Line and
the sea, had but nine normal divi-
sions, nine incomplete divisions, IL
divisions reduced by half, IL re-
duced by a fourth and nine almost
completely destroyed.
Britain, the ministry said, sup
piled only 10 divisions, while Ger
many was creating 43 new ones and
added:
This slownesS of English effort
is one of the capital causes of the
qualitative and even quantitative
dlsproportion between the forces"
