Five out of 10 Frenchmen in Paris

one of them whom I met, "and four

did not need to add that this was
sufficient reason for them to keep
their feelings guarded.
To label these people as Com

Vichy hirelings undertake, is the
sheerest hypocrisy. They are pa
triots among whom the Communists
represent only small portion, with
the advantage that they alone have
any appreciable underground organ

Spain, too, is fertile ground for
rebellion. Bled white even before
the Nazis loosed their continental
