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 tit- bits," is showing caution where Gen. de Gaulle is concerned, la the last issue to reach London, though the one paragraph in which the General is mentioned is un~ pleasant in tone it speaks of the "robust" answer which he made to the news that he had been sentenced to death-"We who go on fighting are all more or less sentenced to death, anyway."

This can only mean that 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.

Germans Nettled

M. Laval has had talks in Paris! with Otto Abetz, the official re- presentative in France of the Gorman Foreign Office. This visit coincided with, though perhaps. it did not provoke, an outburst of tricolour ribbons or blue, white and red. flowers. worn by Pari siennes. Rather nettled, and puzzled by this, the Germans laye 'in- structed their hacks in the Paris Press to discourage it...

"La France au Travail" obedi- ently did this. "It is in the worst possible taste," stated this organ, "We are all suffering from the same misery and are all French. Nobody needs to exhibit the ca t'onal colours on his person to prove this."

In a word, the Germans are content so long as misery is dia- played, but they fear and resont any show of courage,' de. For this offence "Le Figaro,” pub- fished in non-occupied territory, has been suspended for one day, For no apparent reason it recent- ly published an article by M Francois Mauriac extolling, the principles of liberty.

"I turned round in a right hand turn. Another Messerschmidt 109 did exactly the same thing and I dealt with him in exactly the same way. A trail of white smoke and he went down."
