DE GAULLE EMERGES INTO OPEN
Slashing Attack On New French Constitution Protest On
Appearance Of Executive Only
Epinal, Sept. 29.
Speaking to tens of thousands of people in the small market town of Epinal this afternoon, General Charles de Gaulle condemned the constitution adopted by a large majority of the National Assembly in the early hours this morning.
General de Gaulle said: "The Republic has been saved at the same time as the country. Throughout the war we struggled amid intri- gues and difficulties to which history will hear witness, to awaken, re-assemble and put into operation the broken forces of France and of the Empire, We acted on the political princi- ple that only the French people were entitled to determine their institutions and that once liberation had been achieved and victory gain- ed, we would be given full and complete rights. "This agreement.
