off France. Pbone nunier 9.
It is now clear that Petain has become
a dictator of France. His sweeping Po-
wers include those of the President M.
Lebrun, who has resigned, and he re-
mains as premier and in control of the
army. His title is to be Chief of the French
State. He can now appoint and dismiss all
officers of the State, negotiate and ratify
treaties with foreign powers, declare state
of siege in provinces etc., but not declare
war except summoning the National
Assembly and obtaining their consent.
Petain has asked the Germans permission
to leave Vichy and make his headquarters
in Verseilles. Geoffrey Cox, commenting
on the situation in France, in the B. B. C.
news yesterday afternoon, saw the stamp
„made in Germany“ on all the new
French administrative machinery, and
thought Petain selected Verseilles as his
seat because he was afraid to face the
people of Paris.
