GROWING IN FRANCE
UNDERGROUND MOVEMENT
NEW YORK, September 3,
The underground movement in France has increased 50 per cent, in the last six months, according to members of underground organisations arriving* in London from France, says the London correspondent of the "New York Times."
All members of underground organisations agree that the future of France is being made not at Algiers but in metropolitan France, where General de Gaulle is revered as a symbol of liberty. However, it is pointed out that the underground movement insists that General de Gaulle is responsible to it and not it to him.
The informants revealed that the post-war aims of the French underground movement include no dictatorship, no authoritarian Government, and also no direction by Britain, America, or Russia on how the French Republic should be reconstituted.
Communication between England and France is now so good that underground members are arriving regularly in London for conferences with the French Committee of National Liberation.
