NOT TO BE SEPARATED BY NAZI LIES

French Prime Minister’s Declaration CONFIDENCE IN ULTIMATE VICTORY DENUNCIATION OF HITLER’S PERFIDY (By Telegraph.—Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 12.40 p.m.) PARIS, September 21. German propaganda will never separate England and France, declared M. Daladier, in a nation-wide broadcast. Frenchmen will not be duped. The whole country has risen indignantly to oppose such clumsy attempts. There are no traitors in France —only courageous soldiers. We know Britain’s faith from past experience. Iler planes are fighting on our side, her sons are fighting in our trenches. The hundreds of millions of people of the British Empire are working in the common cause. He exclaimed: “Show your contempt for German propaganda by ignoring it. I have visited the front and seen our soldiers fighting bravely. We are not afraid ot a long war and firmlv believe we shall conquer the enemy. M. Daladier added that despite the efforts of England, America and Italy, the destruction of Poland was planned beforehand. Even now Russia and Germany were ruthlessly dividing a living country. Poland had suffered a terrible martyrdom and had displayed great heroism. Her defeat was unavoidable. The secret treaty encouraged Russia to attack when Poland had succeeded in holding up against the first blow. Her dismemberment had been planned beforehand While Hitler pretended that his demands were limited to the Corridor and a few motor roads. M. Daladier asked: “W T ho now believes in Hitler’s peaceful intentions, when he has just proved his violence and ruthlessness? This is his war.” M. Daladier then quoted a long list of treaties Germany had torn up, adding: “Hitler says he asks nothing from France, but Frenchmen know he will not fail to try to destroy France like Austria and Czechoslovakia. France will never allow domination by force and will never allow soldiers to burn a town and kill women and children.”
