Thirteenth In a Series. }
BY PAUL REYNAUD,

North American Newspaper Alliance.
At a meeting of the cabinet in
Bordeaux at IL am. on June 16,
Marshal Petain read out a letter
or resignation, giving as his reason
the delay in asking for an armistice.
Then he seemed on the point OF
leaving the room.
The President exclaimed: "Oh,
surely you are not going to do that
to US at such time!"
! informed the marshal that as
his letter. was addressed to me, !
must ask him to listen to my reply.
He consented, adding, however, that
he would not resume his seat. He
remained standing, holding his let
ter of resignation in his hand.
I said then that it was customary.
when one had made so grave re-
quest of an ally, to await his an
swer, which I hoped to be in a
position to communicate to the cab
met during the afternoon.
Rather pitifully, the marshal put
his letter back in his pocket and
sat down again. The meeting was
adjourned until 5 pm.
Secs Lcbrun.
At noon, the President of the re-
public sent for me. In his ONCE ]
found Weygand. Mandel and Paul
Thellier. the Minister of Agricul-
ture.
The President said: Gen. Wey-
gand tells US that complete dissolu-
ton of the army threatens II an
armistice is not asked for at once"
you know my position" I said.
But Gen. Weygand declares" the
President continued, that to capit-
ulate would be contrary to the
army's honor"
I then turned to Weygand and
asked him, IF capitulation figured
among the armistice terms. as 1t Is
certain to do. would you still reject
as contrary to the hon.
or of the army7"
II shall tell you that" said Wey-
gand, when the moment arrives"
British Telegram Arrives.
Early that afternoon the British
and Gen. Sir Edward
Spears brought me a first telegram:
London. June l6, 1890 hours
Please hand to M. Reynaud the fol-
lowing message which has been ap-
proved by the cabinet:
Starts: Our agreement forbid
ding any separate negotiation,
whether for an armistice or peace,
was made with the French Republic
and not with any particular French
administration or statesman. 1t
therefore involves the honor of
France.
However, on condition-but only
on that condition-that the French
feet be Immediately directed towards
British harbors pending negotiations,
his majesty's government gives its
full assent to an inquiry by the
French government with a view to
ascertaining the conditions of an
armistice for France. His majesty's
government being resolved to go
on with the war, excludes itself en-
tirely from any participation in the
inquiry. ="
This telegram was soon followed
BY a second, which emphasized that
the condition imposed was as much
in the interests of France as of
I drew my visitors attention to
the fact that were the French fleet
to be sent to British harbors,
Tunisia would lie exposed to italian
moves during the armistice nego-
5iations.
Permission Cancelled.
An hour later, the British Ambas-
'ador and Gen. Spears came to ask
ne for the return of these two tele-
grams, stating that their govern
nent Cancelled the permission to
reat with the Germans.

Cabinet Voted for Armistice,
Reiectinq Union With Britain

During the afternoon ! was twice
rung up from London by Gen
Charles de Gaulle. He communicated
a sensational offer by the British
government which filled me with
joy because it supplied me with a
fresh argument to keep France in
the war at Britain's side.
I urged him to ask that the text
of this offer should be ready before
IS pm, so that I might make 1t
known to the cabinet council.
1t was a project for union of
our two countries. I accepted the
project in principle. Union with
Britain meant independence for
France, whereas union with Ger
many meant enslavement.
The plan for a common declara-
ton said: 80 Henceforth, France
and Great Britain will no longer be
two nations, but one Franco-British
indissoluble nation. ="
Winston Churchill himself rang
me up, and, full of confidence, we
arranged to meet the following day
in Brittany.
The cabinet met at 4 pm. The
sitting was to last until pm.

WASHINGTON = The House saved the life of the FEPC, voting to grant $25O,OOO to continue it into l946 despite prolonged at- tempts of southern pelltaxers and northern reactionaries to kill the anti-discriminatiOn agency.
 CLEVELAND (FP)-A national conference of A.F.L. officials will be held at the Hotel Carter here July 21 ahd g to press for A.F.L. participa- tion in the World Federation of Trade Unions, Sec. Courtney Ward of Dist 6, Bro. of Painters, announced.
 CHICACO-Acting on advice freely handed out by Chairman George W. Taylor of the Natl. War Labor Board, employers here are attempting to use a downgrading device to provide themselves with plenty of cheap labor.

 LOS ANGELES-With cutbacks and 1ayoffs continuing in southern California, the clamor for more work CTS at lower wages goes on.
 WASHINGTON =. A dangerous and clever plan to pit the war vet eran against the American worker, introduced by Rep. John E. Ram kin CD, Miss.), is awaiting action by the House rules committee be- fore coming to a showdown.
 CLEVELAND-A referendum of the seven million A.F.L. members on whether the A.F.L. should join the World Federation of Trade Unions was proposed by the Cleveland Ctti- sen, A.F.L. newspaper, as the only "sane way out of what is rapidly be- coming an impossible situation"

Even Biased Poll. Proves We Want RealPeaceCroup
Three Out Of Every Four Americans Favor United
 Nations Organization

DENVER-(FP) Three out of four Americans want the US. to join a world peace organization such as the United Nations estab- iished at San Francisco, the Ma tiOnal Opinion Reseach Center at the University of Denver reports as the result of public poll.
 To avoid the possibility that the result might be attributed to the kind of slating some pol1-takers do in their surveys on labor matters, the center took double poll, both with a scien- tlhcally chosen cross section of all types of Americans.
 Questions in the first were couched in the anti-United Nations language of Hearst editorial. Re. suit: 74@o favored US. participa- ton. In the second, a question slanted for world organization was asked. Result: 8I% favored US. participation.
 The seven per cent variation indi- cates how far off the truth poll re- suits can be when questions are biased.

AFL Convention Barred By 0DT;; First Since 1881
Executive Board Will Meet In Chicago To Consider
 New Procedure

WASHINGTON - CPD = Be. cause of the critical shortage of railroad facilities, the Office of De. fense Transportation has refused permission to the AFL to hold its 65th annual convention, scheduled to open in Chicago next October.
 A.F.L. Pres. William Green, lowing to the convention ban of ODT, said the executive council, which is empowered to act "between conventions" will meet in Chicago Aug. 6 to consider a program of new procedure to meet the emergency situation.
 This will be the first time since 1881 that the AFL has failed to hold its annual convention, and Green emphasized in a letter to officers of all affiliated unions that, in order to promote the war effort, the federation will not contest the governments decision.
 Greens letter to national and in ternational afi1iates said that the council will be faced by many diff cult problems because of the omission of the convention.
 "A report of such action as the council may take, such recommen- dations as it may make and such advice and information as it may desire to transmit, will be commu- nicated to you following its ad- jOurnment.
 Normally some 600 or more dele gates attend A.F.L. conventions and the ODT travel ban has limited gath erings to not more than 50 persons.

Unions Produced
 Needed Equipment

OKINAWA-The American flag hangs high over the steep escarpments of this blood soaked island to signalize our military victory and the U. s. soldiers, sailors, marine and Seabees who defeated the Japs are now getting well-earned breathing spell before jump ing off on tue next invasion.
 The War Department, in an alyzing the struggle for the cap ture of this island, declared that credit for the victory is shared by the union workers at home who produced mountainous sup plies of fighting equipment and shipped 1t here to back up the fighting forces. The official an nouncement told the following story of the supplies needed to overcome this formidable Jap fortress.
 MORE TO BE DONE
 ''The first 30 days of the Oki- nawa campaign called for more than 25O. O.OOO,OOO pounds of equip ment-which is 35O,OOO pounds for every hour of those first 30 days. Food to the tune of 5O,OOO tons anticipated for Army cOnsump- ton in the assault and early Occu- patton, Carand automatic rifles, machine guns, 37-mm. antitank guns and heavy artillery and mill lions of rife and machine gun bull lets arrived from America in mighty sea-going caravans to the Jap defended islands.
 But a reserve of weapons for re- placements-tanks, artillery, machine guns and mortars had to be ready. New rife stocks for split ones, new armor replacing the charred steel body of a tank, and countless spare artillery parts had to be on hand. Rubber treads, carbine barrels, sights, brooches for field pieces, firing pins, even watch spring were ready. Enough armament to form a solid steel wall more than mile long including 60 and 81 nm. mortars, 105 and 155 nm. howitzers and l55 mm. guns were resupplied.
 "Tank-mounted flame guns played a major part in soaring caves and crevices and in burning up Jap's com > bustib1e stores. Ship-based tough, maneuverable mortars were used by Landing Craft Infantry who lobbed shells up and down coastline areas not reached by ordinary artillery, fill ing the interval between the cessa- ton of naval gun-fire and the first bursts of our 1andbased artillery.
 ssThe job of reconstruction by heImeted, bare-waisted Army men has already started, and relief from incessant, fierce and bloody fight ing is almost complete on this is- land, But there is other fighting to be done, and. the mountains of supply must continue to move from America's war plants to Pacific fighting points until the last Jap resistance is quieted."

Full Employment
 Bill Is Supported
(Continued from Page One)


 local and state governments, are unable to provide full employment, Congress, through its regular Iegis- lative methods, will make such ap- prOpriatiOns for public works and other necessary expenditures by the Government, to achieve full employment.
 Tn other words, private industry will have every chance it needs to prove itself. However, this time we aren't taking chances. We believe that every person who wants to work, is entitled to a job, and that his family IS entitled to decent living standards. Business should have no objection to this bill, because profits are the first to be affected when workers cannot buy the products they have produced. Furthermore, if business objects to this bill, it is up to such organiza- tions as the National Manufacturers Association and the Chamber of Com merce to present their plan.
