his previous actions. From the
moment of the armistice, Petain
repeatedly had apologized to the
Germans for French underground
defiance of his orders to cooper
ate with the conqueror.
He denounced American bomb
ing raids on French factories,
and then denounced Frenchmen
who cheered those raids. He op-
posed only one German aim: He
had not given them the French
fleet.
Now. as the Germans swarmed
into Unoccupied France, attempt
ing to seize that fleet before 1t
could be scuttled at Toulon,
Petain protested once, then
seemed to bow to the inevitable.
Hitler sent him a message: 1T
is we'll known to me, Herr Mar
schall, that you always have been
and still are a faithful partisan
of France with National Socialist
Germany"
Petain ordered what was left of
the French Army to go home.
He then announced he was still
chief of the French state-what
was left of it.
Removed From Viehy.
He went on the radio to say,
When the present confagration
is ended, thanks to the German
defense of the continent, our
civilization will forever be saved
from the dangers of bolshevism
and France will take up again
her place gained through disci-
pline."
And when the Allies invaded
France itself on June s. 1914,
Petain, appealed in vain for the
French to avoid anything which
would call down upon you tragic
reprisals."
Petain was taken from Vichy
by the Germans on August 20.
before the Allied invasion force
In the south could reach him.
He subsequently stated. and the
situation appears to bear out the
many against his will. A Star
entering the Vichy re-
gion with Allied forces, ran across
an apparently authentic docu-
ment detailing how the marshal,
having refused Hitler's order that
he should leave Vichy, was vir-
tually kidnapped from his room
in the Hotel du Pare by a Ger
man armed guard.
Headed Puppet Regime.
The marshal ended the war
heading a puppet French regime
set up by the Nazis at Sigma
ringen, Germany. On his 89th
birthday, with Germany crum-
bling behind him, he entered
Switzerland en- route to surrender
ing his own people.
IT was dragged into Germany by
SIS troopers" he said. II have al
ways regarded my stay at Sigma
ringen as real, involuntary impris-
onment."
In his subsequent trial before a
High Court of Justice, during the
summer of 1945, the proud old
man was in the kind of historical
company which, under other cir
cumstances, he would have appre-
ciated. He was the first French
chief of state to be brought to
Judgment since King Louis XVI.
Had Dignified Career.
It had not always been so. His
life had been nothing if not digni-
fed. And. in his day. he had
known the honor and adulation
that few but the successful soldier
ever attain.

If you are about to dress up

it's only fair that you know the
true facts about part Of Santa s

At a dinner party not so long
ago an American foreign service
officer. who formerly served in
China, intrigued his listeners with
a story. He was explaining how

proper f1nesse all kinds Of prob

dream existed. Take for ex-
Iample." he said with a grin, "the

yak tails. Nothing else is salts

continued. "a Tibetan trade dele
cation came to this country and
landed on the West Coast. A
representative Of another govern
ment department greeted the
members Of the delegation and
put them on the train for Chicago,
wiring his counterpart in that
city to show them every courtesy.
The Chicago man decided that
nothing could be Of more interest
to outsiders than the stockyards
so he took the delegation straight
from the train to an all-day tour
of butchering scenes. Then he put
them on the train for Washington.
By the time they arrived here the
sensitive Lamaists, who don't like
to see animals have their throats

felt sick, exhausted and fed up
with America. Then the State
Department stepped in to soothe
their outraged feelings. We got
