Dramatic Trial Of French Statesmen To Begin
Begin To-day
ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE TRIALS IN HISTORY, THE ARRAIGNING OF FRENCH STATESMEN BEFORE A SPECIAL TRIBUNAL IN CONNECTION WITH THEIR “RESPON- SIBILITY: FOR THE OUTBREAK OF THE WAR," WILL OPEN TO-DAY.
Reuter learns that the "Supreme Court” which is to try the men “held responsible for the declaration and conduct of the war" will Sit at Riom, ten miles to the north of Cler- mond Ferrand.
There is, apparently, no official list at present of the men who will be accused, but M. Daladier,, M. Mandel, M. Campinchi and M. Yvon Delbos, who went to Casa- blança after the armistice was asked for, will be closely ques- tioned.
M. Daladier is now at Orange under police guard, awaiting in- structions.
M. Mandel is the only one of
