DARLAN’S STATEMENT
ABOUT NAZI GENEROSITY TRAVESTY OF THE TRUTH. THE FACTS OF WHOLESALE PLUNDERING. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.35 p.m.) LONDON, March 17. Admiral Darlan’s amazing declaration that the Germans have proved more generous and more humanitarian than the British is not only a travesty of the truth, but is further proof of Hitler’s strong pressure on Vichy,” says “The Times” French correspondent. “The Germans control all foodstuffs reaching France, exacting 25 per cent. They have also seized pigs, animal fats and 70 per cent of the crops. The alleged generosity of the Germans regarding potatoes is only a blind to deceive public opinion. The Germans commandeer 75 per cent of the stocks of potatoes which go to Germany and 10 per cent are then released, ostensibly' to save France from alleged starvation.” Miners in occupied France yesterday struck for larger rations. Germans in occupied France receive the same ration card as the French, but the French receive one, while the Germans get three.
