TRIAL OF M. MANDEL
SUBSTANCE OF CHARGE ATTEMPT TO COMMUNICATE WITH BRITAIN. FACTS STATED IN LONDON. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.5 a.m.) RUGBY, July 29. Reports from Vichy indicate that M Mandel, the former French Minister for the Interior, who is now being tried at Meknes, in French Morocco, is accused of attempting to communicate with the British Minister for Information (Mr A. Duff Cooper), and Lord Gort. against the interests of France. The true facts relating to the visit of the British Minister to North Africa were made known in authoritative circles in London this morning. Certain distinguished French statesmen were in North Africa after the collapse of France and Mr Duff Cooper, who knew them personally, accompanied by Lord Gort, flew to see them. On their arrival the local authorities communicated to them that their visit would be unwelcome to the French statesmen concerned, whereupon they immediately returned to England, without having any communication with the French Ministers.
