‘ W HEN FRANCE AWOKE '
(Omaha W orld-H erald. Ju n e 14. 1940)
“ On November 12. 1938 the republic of F rance belatedly
recognized the peril of Hitlerism. It enacted the now-famous de-|
cre<> laws which were intended to put the nation on a w ar foot
ing and in a position to defend itself.
At the suun«- time, in justification of the decree laws, there
w as published the general report of M. D aladier and R eynaud—
the man who was then Prem ier and the man who is now Prem
ier.
In the light of la te r events, th at report has become sig n ifi
cant to Americans. We p rin t below a series of ex tracts from a
reliable translation.
