The general impression to be gathered from the controlled Press is that the writers paid by Germany are hoping and praying for a rapid German victory, so that they may be proved right and escape from paying, sooner or later, the penalty of their trea- chery,
Meanwhile-Gringoire, a scur- rilous weekly, which lives on scandal and political "it- bits," is showing caution where Gen. de Gaulle is concerned.

This can only mean Gringeire suspects that many of its readers have a soft spot in their hearts for the Free France movement. Otherwise it would attack him as it attacks Mr. Churchill.
