Americans Confused
On Petain, Says Envoy

Ambassador CASTOR Henry Haye
of the Vichy government finds that
IAN awful confusion seems to be
purpoSely created in the minds of
the people" about the policy of the
Petain regime over unoccupied
France, the French Embassy dis
closed today by the release Of let
ter from the Ambassador to a group
of American World War veterans.
The veterans, all former residents
of France, published an open letter
to the Ambassador in the New York
Herald Tribune urging him to re-
pudiate the policies of Marshal Pc
tain, whose recent declarations
they termed "pitiful." The Ambas-
sador, recalling that he had been
attached to the A. E. F. in France in
the World War, replied:
AN awful confusion seems to be
purposely created in the minds of
the people. How is it possible that
you who have spent so many pleas
ant years in my country and who
have valued its large hospitality
could mistake the consequences of
our terrible defeat for its causes? 80
France has not been betrayed by
her present leaders. She was de-
feated through the incompetence Of
those who were not able either to
build up her defense or to obtain,
from other concerned nations,
help equal to that required by the
situation.
IF you could only realize the
magnitude of the efforts of the
great and glorious soldier that Mar
shall Petain was and still is to main
tain alive in the hearts of every one
the faith in France, you would GER
tainly not have addressed me such
request" ...
