MESSAGE OF HOPE
FROM UNITED STATES LEAFLETS DROPPED IN FRANCE BY R.A.F. MILLIONS MORE TO FOLLOW. LONDON, January 9. The R.A.F. has dropped more than 2,000,000 leaflets on Occupied France, at the request of the United States. This was announced today by. President Roosevelt’s secretary, Mr Stephen Early. The leaflets contain a message of hope to the French people and give extracts from speeches giving assurances that the united freedom-loving people will win the war and win the peace. The leaflet is headed, “U.S.A, leaflet No. 1.” It bears a picture of the Statue of Liberty, which was given to the United States by the French. The leaflet also stresses the historic friendship between France and America and gives details of the war expansion programme of the United States Army, Navy, Air Force and industries. In the Paris area 1,300,000 leaflets were dropped and over Lille 600,000. Mr Early said it was safe to assume that millions more leaflets would be dropped periodically over all parts of occupied Europe.
