Description

From: Ottawa, August 5, 1941.
To: Vichy.
Messages Nos. 278 and 279.

La Presse is printing these days a series of articles on the pressure which is being exerted on our government by Germany to obtain new concessions. The declaration of Mr. Sumner Welles strengthens their point of view. To-day the papers publish the declaration, made at Vichy, that France will preserve the independence of her colonial empire. Satisfaction is shown rather in the way the news is presented than in the comments, which are few.

The writer with the pen-name "Canada" tells, as from authoritative quarters, how "Marshall Petain refuses to resist Nazi authority". "----" of Montreal writes "we can still hope as long as Vichy ----". Today they note "(growing ?) opposition to collaboration is more noticeable in view of the rising glory of Hitler in the occupied countries; in France it is said that the old Marshal continues to refuse to accede to the German demands". "The old cry "Vive France" which is always on our lips ---- attitude".
