The Moral Background Of French Resistance
LONDON, Aug. 30. A leader of French resistance, Andre Phillipes, who was formerly deputy for Lyons and is now in England, broadcast to English listeners to-night on the importance of the moral background of French resistance. He said that the Fighting French opposed Vichy and its so-called political realism because a defeated Justice was still Justice; a crushed freedom was still a freedom; trutn denieo by brutal force was st.ll truth. When a State pretended to be absolute when it rebelled against the higher rules of Justice and right, and when it failed to perform essential functions, disobedience to such a State became not only a right but “our most sacred duty.”
