VICHY IS NOT FRANCE
OLD FRIENDSHIP WILL BE RESTORED. , “The present French Government does not represent the real feeling of France towards us,” said the Earl of Derby in a message to the Association of Great Britain and France. “When the people have got rid of Laval and his followers,” he continued, “we shall find there is a large body of public opinion ready, willing and anxious to restore the old friendship between ourselves arid their nation.” General Legentilhomme, acting head at the time of The Fighting French during General de Gaulle’s absence in the Near East, in responding to the message, said: “We have learned to know our enemies and appreciate our friends, and this applies also to the oppressed people in France. They will welcome the British when they return to France as you welcomed us when we were driven to your soil.”
