Hess Shocks Nazis, Says French Editor By JOANNE NICHOLS Smoking innumerable cigarettes in a long black holder, M. Leon Cotnareaunu, former editor of Le Figaro, replied to questions from faculty members and students of the University at a tea yesterday afternoon in Gerlinger. ‘‘The French press is doomed,” M. Cotnareaunu predicted. “No French newspaper may contain more than two pages. It can have no advertising matter. The press is completely dominated and dictat ed to by the Nazi government.” M. Cotnareaunu does not be lieve the German government knew before hand of the flight from Germany to Scotland of Ru dolph Hess, third in the Nazi hierarchy and just below Her man Goering in the order of suc cession to chancellorship. Hess Shocks “There would be no reasonable object in such a flight,” he as serted. “Hess is the incarnation of the Nazi type, and his influ ence is great. His flight to Eng land has profoundly affected the German people,'"has amazed and shocked them.” The convoy system should be inaugurated, in the opinion of the French editor. He declared that it is of no use to produce materials if you don’t deliver them. American convoys, he said, would not necessarily mean American participation in the war. England Strong “Great Britain today is much stronger than it was a year ago,” M. Cotnareaunu stated. “Yes, Germany is stronger, too, but Great Britain’s strength has grown proportionately. However, I am afraid we are in for an ex tended war.” America’s entrance into the war is not desired by the Allies, he announced. This, he said, is a war of materials and not a war of men. Our Choices “I am afraid the democracies must pay for their privileges,” the distinguished-looking, grey haired Frenchman sighed. “They have enjoyed those privileges a good many years, and now it is time to pay.” The United States, in his belief, faces the alternatives of aid to Britain or, in the event of a Brit ish defeat, the loss of all her for eign trade and the inevitable lowering of the American stand ard of living.
