Socialists

Leading French Socialists have signed a message which has reached New York by a special messenger from "Somewhere in France." It declares:-

"Convinced that Britain is de- fending alone at this hour the freedom of the entire world against the appalling campaign | 19 of enslavement which Hitlerism and Fascism represent, French Socialista greet the resistance of Britain with profound admira- tion. In this they are certain that they express the almost un- animous conviction of the French people.

"This message is part of a mani- Tento signed by nearly all French Socialists still in France, but whose numes, for obvious reasons, cannot be divulged, Those Socialist de- puties who, at Vichy on July 2, handed over the destinies of France to Marshal Pelain, proven Fascist and reactionary, and to the notorious clique of Pierre Laval, repudiated not only Socialism but Democracy itself."

The message concluded with a de- claration that "new methods and a nów spirit are essential ap that Socialism, which is not dead, and shall not die, may again be able to accomplish its historic mission."

Since the war began. famous London firm of per- fumers has not only increased its exports, but, in the flow of regular monthly shipments, not a single crate or hottle of scent has been lost.

These perfumers were wise enough to lay in large reserves of raw materials so that there is no dan- ter of failing supplies of scents, soaps and beauty preparations for Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, the Dutch East Indies and many other overseas countries. During the

past year, in fact, orders from cer- train countries have more doubled.
