One can hear all varieties of
opinions in the discussions, but
the concesus seems to be: Graft
in the old government prevented
real military preparedness. The
old government hid the weakness
of the army. The armistice was
inevitable.
The feeling was also pretty gen.
eral that it was unthinkable that
Frenchmen should now fight the
Britons, their former allies. The
French. of course, want to free
their country and see that they
may have to cooperate with the
conquering Germans economically
and. even, to some extent politi-
cally.

EDITORIAL AID
TO HUMANITY

Editor, The Times: j wish to
emphasize and praise the lead
ing editorial in your issue of July
19. There Is No Returning"
1t sets forth a principle of which
humanity needs constantly to be
reminded. The strange wild
course" upon which our world
has embarked at the present
time leaves the majority of us
with only dim and confused
idea as to its meaning.
Consequently we see many who
rebel at the radical changes
which are inevitable, changes
radical to those who hold the
attitudes of their youth as
standard.
Few Americans realize what
total war" means. This new
concept of war" of the Nazis and
Fascists is undeclared and starts
on the moral. cultural. CONNER
cial, political. social and relig-
ious phases of the life. The final
phase is military. This is a revo-
lutionsry movement 10 enslsye,
not TO free.
The defense must move in all
the fields attacked in any war.
There must be no compromise
whatever, verbally. or by action.
This is true because of the moral
phase of the attack. Opposite
principles must be proclaimed
and acted upon continually in
the fight against this perverted
monster. National unity must be
the aim of every earnest Ameri-
can. Personal differences must
be forgotten in the face of COM
mon danger. l have heard much
in these columns of rights" very
little of duties" Of citizenship.
One cannot exist without the
other.
Total defense" does not neces-
sarily mean the death of liberal
government. We through our
government. must strike at the
sources of attack in this country
wherever possible. We must use
moderation and avoid the ex-
tremes that lowers us 10 the

about both by German and French
restrictions.
In a 750-mile tour of the occu-
pied and unoccupied regions of
France, I have just seen French
people of all classes and under
all circumstances rationalizing
their fate.
From the comparatively quiet,
orderly life OF Bordeaux. went
by train, by bicycle and on foot
almost to Marseilles and returned
through the heart of the unoccu-
pied zone.
Amazingly enormous crowds are
fleeing the occupied region. Leav-
ing Bordeaux on an overcrowded
third-class train. many rode on
the steps, even on the couplers,
in the erroneous belief that Paris
and the northern departments of
France were more easily attain
able via Vichy.
Tiny babies, the aged, and the
crippled often were packed in cars
for IA hours at a stretch without
relaxation and without food ex-
cept for slim meals OF sandwiches
and conserves.
Crossing the elevated part of
France known as the "massif CEN
trail" the engineer cut off the
power at every hilltop and coasted
down to conserve fuel. The trains
I boarded were conductorless so
that the trip seemed as limitless
as on the New York subway.
No papers were required in the
zone occupied by the German
troops. and passage from there
into the unoccupied region was
unnoticeable.
The hopefulness of the passen-
gers was apparently justified upon
arrival at Vichy. where the pres
ence of the new French govern
ment falsely indicated escape from
the rigors of being refugees.
The real situation is more ap-
parent at Clermont-Ferrand. where
the backwash OF refugees reaches
its high tide. There extempora-
neous political forums operate
night and day in all quarters Of
the town.
The favorite rendezvous are the
restaurants where ten francs buys
five radishes. soup and bread. and
the privilege 10 sit down indefi-
nitely and discuss the pressing
problems of the day.
For meal times al noon and 7
p. m. sharp. seats are reserved a
day ahead. The hotels are refugee
centers. The rooms are over
crowded. but bedding on straw is
possible in barns and garages for
soldiers and destitute civilians.
