OBSERVATIONS IN FRANCE. UNIVERSAL CONDEMNATION OF REGIME. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.10 a.m.) RUGBY. August 18. An agency message from Cairo states that 38 British and Indian officers and thirteen of other ranks have returned to Beirut, after seven weeks spent on trains and in boats. After being taken prisoners during the Syrian fighting they were taken through Aleppo, Athens, Salonika, Belgrade. Munich, Dijon and Marseilles to Toulon and returned by a similar route. They were enthusiastically greeted by the French people, both in occupied and unoccupied France. One of the party said: “The French people universally condemn the Vichy regime. At Toulon extra guards were put on to prevent, a pro-British demonstration.” Another of the members of the party said the Germans in France seemed to have enough food, but the French were short of rations.
