Vichy France came from the
Petain government.
A witness testified at the
trial of Marshal Petain today
that the old soldier resisted ef
forts of several Vichy ministers
to ask German help In repelling
the allied landings in North
Africa.
The witness. Mai. Edouard
Archambeaud, said Petain sent
two telegrams to North Africa,
one ordering continued resist
ance, and the other ordering a
cessation of hostilities
Adm. Jean Darlan, then Pe
tain s right hand man but soon
to become a collaborator with
the allies In Algiers, sent Amer
ican armistice terms to Petain
on November 10. recommending
their acceptance, the witness
swore. He said Germany violent
ly opposed the armistice between
France and the allies.
The witness testified that as
a result, Petain published a
telegram to Darlan disavowing
him and ordering him to con
tinue the battles. At the same

EDITORIALS ON
NEWS
(Continued from Page One)
In democracies is the party in
power. ; .!
WE can now get back to the
Vigilante movement, which
Is not essentially different from
the Vigilante movements that at
times have arisen in our own
country. That is to say, the
Vigilantes are an organization
OUTSIDE the letter ot the law
that seeks to force the accom
plishment of something by
methods not within the law.
What they have been seeking is
the find na of houses by the au
thoritlcs, and their pressure be
came so great as to lUHUi; a
law giving to local authorities
the power to requisition empty
houses WHEREVER found, re
gardless of the reasons for
wnicn tney may oe empty.
(Many of them are owned by
members of the armed services
still away from home in the
wars.)
Near violence has accom
panied the requisitioning in cer
tain cases. Just the other day
an owner stood siege with dog
and trusty shotgun against the
requisitioning authorities, and
provided the afternoon penny
firess with many a juicy head
Ine and a tenant selected by
the borough council (a demob
ilized sailor and his family) was
finally moved in after the re
calcitrant owner naa been cowea
by the police.
All this, bear in mina, in law-
abiding England where a man's
house is his ensue.
THE Vigilante movement, in
spite of its lawless origin,
has been staunchly defended in
letters to the press. A writer
in. this morning's News-Chron
icle, for example, admits the
SEEMING similarity to gang
sterism, but argues:
'The Vigilante represents the
reaction of the good citizen to
the community s default. His
motive is benevolent; his method
non-violent; his end- object
GOOD. The gangster represents
the reaction of the bad citizen
to all law and order."
That is to say, the Vigilante s
end justifies the means which
is a strange doctrine here in
modern, law-abiding England;
although it is sound enough Eng
lish doctrine. The barons who
forced the Magna Charts from a
reluctant king were Vigilantes,
Sure and simple. They were
iwless, according to the stand
ards of that day, but they were
convinced that their end justi
fied the means they chose.
mm
ANYWAY, this Vigilante busi
ness, which has had PLENTY
on the ball, Is a straw indicating
tnat new currents ot tnougnt
are blowing in oresent-day Eng
land. It has been reasonably
evident that they are blowing In
the direction oi a (JtiAWUE
from that which Is and has been
(namely government by the Con
servative party) and toward
something NEW.
There is other evidence
such, for instance, as what this
writer saw and heard yesterday
in bombed-out Coventry, which
is too long to be included here
and will be covered in a sub
sequent article.
