POINTED QUESTIONS
FRENCH UNDERGROUND PRESS By way of preface to “Again! The Voice of the People,” being further extracts from France’s underground press, pointed questions to the United Nations are put: ‘Why are you at war? Are you spending the blood, the youth, the wealth of your peoples to free bits of land, or to free human beings? When you have freed the thousands on thousands .of victims of oppression, is it these men and women, or is it their ‘converted’ gaolers whom you will recognise as the rightful representatives of their country? In short, are you, who are not afraid to fight a war which is the most radical revolution the world has ever known, afraid of a revolution in your' thoughts? Are you afraid to recognise that the men and women —today necessarily anonymous—who have long prepared, organised the country for your liberating forces (remember Saint Nazaire and Dieppe) are more qualified to govern than public men whose names are not merely familiar but . . . notorious?”
