"FRENCH PEOPLE SOLD INTO SLAVERY" NEW YORK, Sept. 14. The New York newspaper "P.M." states: "Lava! has finally torn the mask of hypocrisy from his face and sold the French people into Nazi elavery. Step by step he has helped his Nazi masters and now he has taken one of the most infamous steps in •all history by ordering the compulsory labour of his people on behalf of their bitterest, historic enemy against their former Allies and friends. "Laval foi weeks nas driven France into Hitler's arms with deadly purpose, persecuting Jews at Hitler's ers, protesting when we bombed Nazi military points in occupied France.'and urgin? Frenchmen to shoot their former Allies in Madagascar. The signs are clear that his own infamv is driving him tc more desperate measures. We would be halfwits to expect him to call a halt anywhere short of open war with us."
