The fault was not entirely his that
the traitors were not shot as soon as
they ventured home to continue
their treachery after the fall Of Ger

them of, but the fact should be held
against him that he was willing to
make politics with the Kremlin,
which had given them their orders
TO take France out Of the war.
NEW FORM OF SLAVERY
Now De Gaupe has lost patience
and would adopt a form Of that con-
tinental slavery described as cor
poratism. II would be not much diff
ferent from communism, but the
Communists would be the special
devils and the loyal French would
have the legitimate pleasure Of
butchering few thousand Of them
in future riots.
It is unbecoming Of an American

Ognized Russia but also extended
elaborate privileges to many Of the
