TOPICS OF THE DAY
The Three Frances “ In any attempt to estimate the future of France it is necessary to remember that there are at least two Frances—more properly three, for the Frenchmen outside France who still stand for the freedom, equality and brotherhood on which the France we have known for generations was based represent the most real France of all,” says the Spectator. “ But on the soil of France itself there are two Frances, one of them in the occupied area, subject without affectation or disguise to the Nazi conqueror, the other, in the parts which it is conventional to call unoccupied, but it would be fantastic to call free, under the rule of a French administration patterned partly on the Nazi, partly on the Fascist precedent. That administration is at the beginning of its troubles, and the more they are considered the more formidable they appear. The odium of the armistice terms is fastened on its neck, and to that the odium of the peace terms, if it survives to sign where it is ordered, will soon be added.”
