M. PAUL REYNAUD
IMPRISONED IN DAMP CELL.
WRITING HIS MEMOIRS.
'By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, April 28.
M. Pierre Vienot, Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs in M. Blum’s Cabinet in 1936-37, who recently reached England from France, revealed that M. Reynaud is imprisoned at le Port Lelat in the Pyrenees. His cell is 10ft. 6in. by 4ft. 6in., and it is so damp that the walls run with water. Sunshine never enters. M. Reynaud’s exercise yard is 20 yards square. M. Vienot added: “What misery, but what moral courage Reynaud shows. He is writing his memoirs and they will create a sensation when they are published after the war.”
M. Paul Reynaud was Premier of France, succeeding M. Daladier in the earlier stages of the war. He was in turn replaced by the Petain regime during the crisis which arose about the time of the fall of France. M. Reynaud had opposed the surrender. He was involved in the Riom war-guilt trial.
