ONUS ON FRANCE
NOTIFICATION OF SAILING OF MEKNES MORE NAZI PROPAGANDA TALES. MR CHURCHILL ADOPTED AS VILLAIN. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day. 10.50 a.m.) LONDON. July 26. Britain had notified the Petain Government of the sailing of the Meknr» and the onus therefore devolved. on France to notify Germany. This obviously was not done. The German radio. blaming Mr Churchill for the sinking of the Meknes says: “Mr Churchill's latest propaganda trick is too transparent, for every shipping register shows that the steamer Meknes is of only 6.000 tons. It therefore cannot be identified with the 18.000-ton steamer mentioned in yesterday's German communique. It was sufficiently known in London that Germany proposed to treat all ships flying the French flag “as enemy.”
