A warning against standardization

mark that this might lead to state

would lead to the abolition Of pri-

'' ColIaboratisrn'' In
 France Not Sincere
O59o of People Still Definitely Hostile to German Con- querOrs; Propaganda Against U. s. Fails

Summing up his experienced ana his observations of the French peo"' ple themselves before and during his Imprisonment, MT. Allen in q recent interview declared that il took actual NaA occupation ob France to open the eyes of some ok the French.
 ''Where . year ago." he said, "they, viewed tho Germans as ATchangeir with flaming swords, aS Enhrvels Q virtue and efficiency, they see them today riddled in a very human light, e bureaucratic as the French, ane far more corrupt"
 E1lFthermoTe, he added, the Ger man propaganda line about United Socialist Europe, freed from the oppression of British and Amer. lcan "Judeo-P Plutocracy'', no loneel carries any weight because the great mass of the population is now con. Vinced that, even H the Germans were SIncere, they have proved themselves incapable of organizing constructively in the wake of their victorious army.
 !. He says also that the Germans have made 6 serious psychological mistake in getting Admiral DarlAn to use the French police to do the work Of the army of occupation, such as enforcing cuFfew in Paris, In watching the demascation of tho "free' side,
 Where many people formerly tol- erated the Petain government on the theory that it was really uNder the gulse of increasing 'c0liabora' tlsm', playing for . time and giy. ing the Germans the run.around. they now see humihating evidence to the contrary"
 Mir. Alien, who found his Nazt guards surprisingly easy to talk witf partly because the French Ignore and einbarrasses them whenever possible, also thinks that German morale slumped tremendously dur- ing the summer months due to two developments: first, the blitzkrieg on the Soviet Union has not kept to its timetable and many of the advantages Of lightning war have been eliminated. and second, there is the widespread conviction that the United states is on the verge of hostilities.
