Paul Reynoud FIoys Petoin
BY DUDLEY ANN HARMON

Paris, May II. UP)-Paul Rey- maud, Frances last pre-Vichy pre- mier, today blamed the fall of France and his own resignation as premier in 1940 on Marshal Henri Philippe Petain.
 In an exclusive interview with the United Press, Reynaud said his capture and 1.2 year imprison- ment by the Nazis resulted from a plot by Petain.'
 The man most responsible for the fall of France is Petain," he said T will testify to this, although I am unwilling to reveal the details of the plot until then.
 T think the Petain trial will be a good thing for France. contrary to the opinion of many people, he added By exposing Petain we will clear up for all the 'Petain abscess in France"
 The graylng eX-premler revealed that he was imprisoned on order of the Vichy authorities in June, 1940, through a secret writ because every magistrate approached by the Vichy agents refused to sign a war rant for his arrest.
 Reynaud said he was deeply touched by the welcome given him at the Paris airport yesterday by his political followers But he in- sisted he would not return to poli- tics until he has completed a book in which he will review the causes of Frances downfall and outline Dlan of national reform
 Among the reforms needed" he said, lis a new education teaching the French fortitude and stoicism.

Local Campaign Commit= tee Continues Task of
 Packing; Need Help

This weekend a third carload of clothing, shoes, and bedding collect ed by the Waterbury United Ma tional Clothing Drive committee will be shipped to the Treasury De- partment's New England central depot at Pawutucket, R. I. Shippers from the Chase Brass and Copper Company, under direction of Wil- liam Goggin of the Chase shipping department, worked at the armory one night this week, bringing their own tools to speed crating and bind- ing filled cartons.
 Martin c. O'Rourke, directing the packing work at the Field street armory. has appealed for donations of packing cartons from merchants and industrial organizations. Final pickup of clothes at neighborhood fire stations was made yesterday by trucks and workers assigned by the Connor Trucking Company. Daniel T. Harrington, Jr, is Waterbury chairman for the drive, which will distribute clothing to needy Euro- pean civilians.

For that matter, nt t one Ger lan Ill 1000 rould give a coherent &C., count Of it either. One of our greatest contemporary historians has called it one of the best trea- ties ever made. That is nearer to the truth.
 Germans Began Rearming
 The fools who swallowed the German propaganda began this war by quavering: We won't have an- other Versailles" Quite right. This war will end by far more drastic instrument and, unlike Versailles, 1t will be enforced.
 After the last war German de- mocracy sold the pass again to mi litarism, and German rearmament began forthwith, while the real democracies disarmed. The Unit ed States, having repudiated their guarantee to France and concluded separate peace with Germany, desired naval parity with Britain.
 The answer should have been: "Of course, but not Oh the cheap. We are too close to danger" h. stead, Britain scrapped much of her fleet under the Washington agreement and curtailed it further under the London agreement.
 Result: she entered this war with l5 battleships not one modern and some 50 cruisers, instead of over 100, as in 1914. Our rearming enemies were greatly heartened by this joint folly.
 Played For Time
 They rearmed crescendo, and democracy turned blind eye. It was bent on doing nothing. For a while the Germans played for time. That was their purpose at Locarno ln 1925. and it was transparent in Herr Gustav Stresemann posthum ous memoirs. Yet no one bothered: years elapsed before they were even translated.
 And even then the same fools who had cried out against Ver- sailleS back in the democracies con- tinued to treat this typical expan- slonist as hero-like pastor Mar tin Niemoeller nowadays. Once again the German militarists thought the democracies were in- finitely gullible They were, be- cause they were always trying to get something for nothing: secur- ity without effort

strength. The League of Nations failed because it did not have gend- armes. The new society of nations outlined at Dumbarton Oaks must have a strong international army including French forces

 Peynaud said he had no fear of German torture during his impris- | orment because he was prepared to cut his throat if the Nazis tried to use him against the interests of France.

| bluff was Japan, which knew that i Great Britain and the United States would fight only with words It is childish to suppose that some thing might have been done then The United States was not ready for war even 10 full years later Britain had only cruisers in the Far East, and Singapore was un- prepared from attack even from the sea. Attack-minded Japan knew all this; the English speaking countries preferred not to think about it.
 SOwed Dissension
 Then came the disarmament con- ference of 1892, which the Germans used to SOW fresh dissension be- tween Britain and the French. This new bid for security without effort was foredoomed. The Huns had only to play fo~ a very little more time now.
 They felt strong enough to elect Hitler in the following year and to reintroduce conscription in 1885. By then they had a large airfleet, and a fair-size naval one on the way.
 Italy was the next aggressor to take the safe plunge In that same Hateful year she attacked Abyssi- mia. The democracies could not make up their minds either to ig- nore or to fight. So they resorted to the ineffective device of eco- homie sanctions. It did not work, and they withdrew it. The Ger mans supported Mussolini, and he ended in their arms.
 Now at last the Huns felt strong enough to take their turn. Thence forward the insanely decried and undermined treaty of Versailles plus Locarno-was openly treated as yet another scrap of paper The demilitarized zone on the Rhine was reoccupied in 1886 with out opposition from the democra- cies Hitler, like the Japanese, gambled on their pacifism. In oth- CT words, on certainty.
 III Vllc Sp- HE Ol iooo, IiIt 1Cl mans annexed Austria-the real start of World War II. Democracy again acquiesced. That autumn they annexed half of Czechoslova- kia. That was made all right at Munich. In the spring Of 1889, they swallowed the rest. The Allies merely protested
 So the Huns oVerran Poland, and at last went step too far. The democracies could no more run away than Russia, having been jack booted around the block in 1899, could accept another dose in 194I.
 This is the simple and terrible story It began with the defection of the United States in 1919. The moral is unmistakable
