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 of enslavement which Hitlerism and Fasclam represent, French Socialists 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- festo signed by nearly all French: Socialists still in France, but whose names, for obvious reasons, cannot be divulged. Those Socialist de pulles who, at Vichy on July handed over the destinies of France to Murshal Pelain,

Fascist and reactionary, and to the notorious elique of Pierre Laval, repudiated not only Socialism but Democracy Iself."

The message concluded with a de- claration that "new methods and a new spirit are

that essential so Socialism, which is not dead, and shall not die, may again be able to accomplish its historic mission."

Perfumers Double War Exports

Since the war began, one 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 bottle of scent has been lost.

Television

in Colour: £30 Sets

Seeing through space is mak- ing progress despite the British Government's war-time bad on television.

In Mr J. L. Baird's house near the Crystal Palace, writes a cor- respondent, I saw a demonstra- tion of television in colour which

appeared to take the practical application of the science beyond anything shown before,

The Best Yet

It was certainly, within its limits, the best television I have seen.

This was the first demonstration of the latest results of Mr Baird's perseverance. He claims that the method is now commercially practic- able.

The set he used will cost £200 when people are able again to use television, but there will be smaller sets, with screens of 5in. by 4in., for about £30 aplece. Their scope will be determined by the wireless to which the system is linked, but will be normally around 30 to 40 miles.
