is IAN ideal which some day

The first witness in the trial
of the Chief of State of the

son the British attacked the
French fleet in North Africa in

France was collapsing, President
Roosevelt sent Petain an EEK
tremely strong message saying
acceptance of German armistice
terms would empe:il the friend
ship of France with the United

Petain and Gen. Maxine Wey-
