PREMIER'S SPEECH WINS APPROVAL IN FRANCE: CALL FOR NEW SACRIFICES

London, To-day.

WORLD-WIDE INTEREST is shown in Mr. Chamberlain's NAZIS FAIL

speech at Mansion House on Tuesday. His words of

Offcial circles in Italy Say that the speech is yet another proof of the complete identity, of views be- tween the British and French Gov- ernments.

WRONG LOCAL

COLOUR

Recently In a certain sector of the French front the Germans thought they' would give * tell- Ing touch to the anti-Britia: exte which they display on placarde for the benefit of the pollus. They would appeal to the local patrio- tism of the troops In fine against them, to the amour du terroir which is so notoriously strong among the French.

Francals du Nord, voulaz-vous que vos fermes et vos prairies solent devastens pour faire plaisir

■ l'Angleterre?

After a while an answering no- tice board rose from the French positions. It bore three words, "Sommes du Midi”—“We're from the South".
