I, as the leader of the Free Frenchmen, shall not rule out the 'collaboration of anybody who ac-
cepts these principles."
They had started five months ago with nothing, but now had already rallied an important part; of the French Empire-the Cam- eroons. French Equatorial Africa in the and French possessions
Pacifle and in India.
"It was essential," he declared, "to prove that these colonies real- ised by themselves, and in spite of Vichy's pressure
and threats, that this war was not lost France."
"Collaboration”
for
About the peace negotiations carried on by Lavul with the | Nazis, General de Gaulle said:
"Perhaps Laval does not know himself to what ends he is to be dragged by his talks.
"But what is clear to me is that the Germans look at this 'colla- Dorution' in a quite different way from Vichy.
"For them it means domination, using France for their own pur- poses, and particularly using the power which the rest of the French Navy still represents."
£50,000 GIFT TO THE NATION
Another £50,000 has just been given to the nation to help to re- duce the National Debt. This was a legacy, representing two-thirds of the estate of a patriotic Lon- doner.
It is not often that they get so large a single sum at the National Debt Office in Old Jewry; but hardly a day passes there without some donation, large or small, to the effort initiated by the younger Pitt, who 150 years ago founded the Sinking Fund.
Many of the gifts are legacies In the form of cash shares or Gov- ernment stock. But real property, even whole estates, are sometimes bequeathed to the nation.
Often the gifts, like the widow's mite, are not to be reckoned at their face value, An envelope
was found to contain six £1 notes and a half-sheet of paper.
