HITLER AND PETAIN
FRANCE NOT ASKED FOR HELP AGAINST BRITAIN. ACCORDING TO M. DE BRINON. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, March 15. “At no time has Hitler demanded active French help against Britain,” declared M. de Brinon in an interview with the Paris correspondent of the Associated Press of Great Britain. He quoted Hitler as saying to Marshal Petain, at a recent meeting: “I do not ask for this, because you could not do it, but I do ask you to help me to shorten the war by opposing British enterprises in your African Empire. In return for this France will find in new Europe the place it used to have.” To this proposition Marshal Petain had agreed, said M. de Brinon.
