PETAIN PROTESTS
AGAINST CHURCHILL’S STATEMENT SAYS NO ONE CAN DIVIDE FRANCE. AND THAT FLAG IS INTACT. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received This Day. 1.15 p.m.) LONDON, June 23. Marshal Petain, broadcasting from Bordeaux, said: ‘‘The French Government heard with sorrowful amazement Mr Churchill’s statement this morning. We can understand his anguish at the course of events, but cannot pass over his words without protest. Mr Churchill is a competent judge of the affairs of his own country, but he is not competent to judge France’s —much' less French honour. Our flag is intact. No one can divide France while she suffers. Mr Churchill must know that our faith in ourselves has not wavered.”
