Frenchmen and no Frenchman can fail to become hostile when it is announced that "the city of light" has been bombed. The British bombing can (only?) result in changing their friendly feelings towards those who still think much of France. The repercussions of this bombing could (harm?) the morale of those French forces in Africa."
In a similar vein another article in the same paper says:- With the (blow?) struck by Britain at PETAIN and his policy of resistance to the Axis, the Marshal would seem ... ... to be justified ... ... ... against England ... the last obstacle to the complete collaboration of Vichy and Berlin will have been removed. We would have expected that London would have hesitated before plunging into this crisis.
This morning ... a news commentator speaking from a local (Washington?) station said that he "remained unconvinced that this British bombing had not been done more ... ... with a view to injuring the central powers than the Paris region."
