A document signed by General Weygand, which has fallen into the hands of officials in London, shows that the French Government protested against a German order apparently foreshadowing the seizure of all valuables from French banks, including gold, precious stones, stocks and shares, of which a German circular issued on June 14 demanded details and forbade clients going to banks to open they.' strong boxes unless the German authorities were notified.
