BY ROY p. PORTER,


NEW YORK. June l7.-France
today began her third year of
servitude under German military
masters.
Late at night just two years ago,
his trembling voice barely rising
above the cracking OF Bordeaux
thunderstorm, Marshal Petain told
his country: Il made contact with
the adversary last night. asking him
as soldier to soldier to seek with
me the means to stop the fight"
Thus did the commander-in in chief
OF all French armed forces-the
same who "a years earlier at Verdun
had said they shall not pass
translate AZ weeks of wearying war
fare into German military domina-
ton
Then-France was defeated. To-
dav-she is defiant.
Then-France was hungry. To-
day-because Germany has taken
carloads of her foodstuffs, she is
hungrler, to the point where her
babies are dying, her children sick
and her parents aging prematurely.
Looking Toward America.
Then-France looked toward the
United States for help. Today-she
is still looking toward America. but
this time with her hope high that
American soldiers. sailors and
marines will soon invade her war
devastated north to create the
projected second" front-the ELL
ropean" front against Nazidom.
During those dark days which led
up to June II. 1910. aged Marshal
Petan saw once-proud army
whipped numerically by the superior
might of modern, motorized Ger
man machine.
He saw roads leading southwark
TO insecure safety bombed and
machine-gunned by German and
Italian planes. He saw nearly
2OO,CO0 OF his civilian countrymen
bleeding and dying beside those
clogged roads. He saw nearly
100000 of Frances soldiers sent TO
German prison camps, most of
whom are still there.
During two years of almost cease.
less labor. he has seen France rising
slowly and with difficulty. licking
her wounds. binding her sores.
Three governments, all slanted to-
ward collaboration with Germany.
have held the reins in Vichy and
Pierre Laval. most pro-Nazi of all
French political figures, is again in
the saddle.
Leahy Lauded Petain.
Marshal Petain has been called
both patriot and traitor. The most.
authoritative American source.
United States Ambassador William
D. Leahy. spoke on his return re-
Gently of the high personal regard"
in which he holds the marshal.
Except for the agreement entered
Into between France and Japan in
Indo-China." Admiral Leahy said
further. no positive action as vet
taken by the marshsls government
since the srmistice has been of ma
terial assistance to the Axis powers"
But the greatest thing in France
today is the indomitable will of 90
per cent of her people to fight off
their German oppressors-and to
help those nations which are fight
ing the same battle.
An American recently returned

me the parting message his French
friends gave him:
I'VE will welcome you on your

That agreement was a severe blow
to the Japanese, who were buying
great quantities of raw materials
