SPEEDING UP THE WAR
DECISIONS REACHED IN FRANCE General Weygand Confers with Premier and Marshal Petain WARNING AGAINST RUMOURS INSPIRED BY ENEMY WORKERS AS WELL AS SOLDIERS TO STICK TO THEIR POSTS (By Telegraph.—Press Association.— Copyright.) (Received This Day, 12.33 p.m.) PARIS May 20. General Weygand conferred with M. Reynaud and Marshal Petain before a meeting of Cabinet, at which a number of decisions for speeding up the war were taken. M. Reynaud has issued a communique warning the population to guard-against inspired rumours regarding the German advance, by which the enemy hope to cause an evacuation of districts which are not threatened, and thus to dislocate French industry. “The severe penalties which are applicable to deserting soldiers,’’ it is intimated, “are also applicable uo workers leaving factories without instruction. ’ ’ M. Reynaud announced that the French Ministries are ceasing to communicate by memo, because personal contact is more efficient.
