PETAIN’S PROTEST
REGARDED BY GERMANS AS FORMAL DARLAN CALLED TRAITOR. CURFEW ORDER IN FRANCE. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.5 p.m.) LONDON, November 11. Marshal Petain, in his interview with General von Runstedt, protested against Hitler’s move in marching into unoccupied France, which contravened the terms of the Armistice between Germany and France. The Wilhelmstrasse, commenting on Marshal Petain’s protest, declared that it was regarded as purely formal in view of the Vichy order that the Army and police must not resist the Germans. Algeria was an integral part of France, and therefore the foundation on which the Armistice was founded had been considerably shifted and the strategic situation in the Mediterranean had undergone a decisive change which it was impossible for the Axis leaders to overlook. The Berlin radio, describing Admiral Darlan as a traitor, said he had betrayed Algiers to get his revenge on Laval, whom he could never forgive for his dismissal in April. A curfew has been imposed throughout France between 8 p.m. and 4 a.m. Persons found out of doors without a permit during the curfew period will be arrested. According to the Berlin News Agency the French Government has interned British and American subjects in unoccupied France. It is learned in London that there are over 3000 British subjects in unoccupied France.
