The allegation against the
former Vichy chief of govern
ment was m d e in a British
White Paper issued last night
while Laval was awaiting inter-
rogation by French authorities.
The paper said Sir Samuel
Hoare, the British ambassador
to Madrid, had cabled the for
eign office on Nov. 4, 1910 that
the French ambassador to Spain
had informed him Laval was
planning to use the French Fleet
and military units in efforts to
recover French colonies which
had rallied to General Charles
DeGaulle.
Sir Samuel, now Lord Tenn.
plewood was quoted as saying
in his cable.
1.-THE (French) ambassador re-
CARDS the plan as not only very
mean, but very clever. He
agreed with me that if it was
carried out it undoubtedly
would mean war between Great
Britain and Vichy."
,ritain had promised to sup
port DeGaulle, the White Paper
said, and if the Royal Navy and
French Fleets had come into
conflict Laval would have
charged British aggression.
Sir Samuel said that the day
after his conversation with the
French ambassador, the British
Naval Attache in Madrid at
tempted to sound out the French
Naval Attache on the matter.
The latter was quoted as ask
ing, do I understand that II
the (French) Naval ships tried
to come through the straits (of
Gibraltar) you would not allow
them to pass" he was told that
was correct.
