Paris, March 25.

An impassioned appeal for national unity in the face of danger, was made by the French Prime Minister, M. Pierre Flandin, in a speech delivered this evening.

"For the love of our country, let us not give the appearance of a panic-stricken crew on a sinking ship," he urged.

"Who gives us a better lesson in patriotism than that people which, believing itself menaced, has now fervently exalted its Red Army, and is counting with just pride the ever-increasing thousands it is devoting to national defence!"-Reuter
