PETAIN’S DISHONOUR
PUNISHMENT OF “WAR GUILT” VICTIMS
AFTER REFUSAL OF JUDGES
TO INDICT.
MARSHAL’S SLAVISH SUBMISSION
TO HITLER
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day. 12.15 p.m.) LONDON. August 18.
The refusal of the Riom war guilt trial judges to indict French statesmen and generals who were arrested last year is the reason for the decision of Marshal Petain to punish them himself, without a trial. The “Daily Herald’s” Paris correspondent says Hitler is insisting upon super-sentences, which he can exploit as his own exoneration of responsibility for the war. The correspondent adds: “This is the inside story of surely one of the most scandalous Fascist measures Marshal Petain has announced.”
