Cot Sees General
Revolution in Europe
When Hitler Falls
Former Air Minister Of
France Says Underground
Movements at Work

Confusion and a general revolu-
ton are the prospects in Europe on
the defeat of Hitler, Pierre Cot.
former French Air Minister. de-
clared last night in addressing a
group of congressman and ranking
administrative leaders at the Cos
mos Club. The meeting was spon-
sored by the Independent Legisla-
| tive Bureau as one Of a series Of
talks for information Of national
leaders.
The refugee Frenchman, now liv-
ing in North Chevy Chase, Md, pre-
dicted that civil war would follow
the present conflict in the subju-
gated continental countries and that
this civil war will be better than
Hitler domination"
M. Cot said there are underground
movements in the lead Of the fight
against Hitler and the Vichy gov
ernment. This, he explained, was
not a military endeavor, but rather
a revolutionary movement for the
return Of the old order to France.
He then added that civil uprisings
would occur in protest against any
new order and that the stanch
Frenchman would do his best TO
regain those ideals lost with the
fall of the republic.
A Predetermined government IS
developing under ViChy, through
German domination. he charged.
The French are not prisoners Of
Hitler" he declared, "but they are
prisoners Of Hitler's ideology." He
added that there is "a small mi
nority supporting Vichy; the ma
jority Is in opposition
M. Cot called for consideration
Of the small classes who weigh
local government against Fascism
and revolution. He added that the
French will continue to work for
a return Of the old order though
Hitler uses undemocratic groups
to build his subVersiye actions in
France"
The speaker reviewed events lead
ing to the fall of France and added
that "a political breakdown leads
to an economic crash" He took TO
task the French administration and
said a removal of the government
to French North Africa may well
have placed a new aspect on the
war From there, he said. the
battle could have been continued
in collaboration with the British
forces.
In this connection, he said,
France got hopes, but the British
got realities"

the plant without its sap soon willis

Through the summer this is the
