Darlan
France’s
“Dietator”
Petain’s 12
Points
Nazifieation Policy
London, August 13th.
In his broadcast speech laS*
night Marshal Petain annouB”
ced that Admiral Darlan ha(l
been appointed Admiral
France and Commander-iö'
Chief of the Army, Air Force
and Nazi.
The policy of the Vicliy G>o-
vernment was set forth by the
Mar-shal in 12 points. AU poli'
tical parties in France wiill h®
forbidden,, Free Masons diS'
rnissed from all State offioes, the
poii'ce foree increased, those 'res'
ponsible for the oollapse
France tried and punished, efC.
on the model of Nazism.
Marshal Petain expi'essed hi5
hope that the U. S. A. would
understand this atetioín. The
Frenteh people loved liberty even
if democracy wias dead in Frann®’
but it wotuíd, perhaps, take a
long time for the French to g6*
used to the new order.
By this Marshal Petain has
taken the widest dictatoria*
po’vvers and plaoed them in the
hands of Darlan. Admiral D&'
lan’s assumption of ditetatorship-
is elsewhere regarded as an in'
dication of gnowjng resistamce b>'
