"TRAITORS WILL PAY"
FRENCH WARNING ISSUED Rugby, Sept. 26. The following message was received by Mr. Winston Churchill from Duala to-day: "Frenchmen in the Cameroons who have learned of recent events at Dakar take this opportunity to affirm to the British Frime Minister their determination to continue the struggle against Germany side by side with the British Covernment. "In their view Frenchmen subservient to Vichy are Hitler's allies and are accepting leadership of traitors who will one day pay dearly for their treason." Mr. Churchill replied: "I have received a telegram sent by the representatives in the Frencn Cameroons of ex-serviccmen of the last and present war, of officers and soldiers of the forces, administrators, civil servants, doctors, police, merchants, colonists, planters and missionaries declaring their intention to fight on until victory is won. In the name of the British Government I wish to thank them for their encouraging message and to tell tl.em of the pleasure it gives me to know they will continue the struggle side by side with the British Empire until France is freed and restored and the shadow of German tyranny is driven from the face of the earth for ever.
