CONSUL’S BELIEF
Fleet At Disposal Of Britain SYDNEY, June 24. The French Consul-General, M. Jean Tremoulet, commenting on the armistice terms tonight, urged Australians to withhold judgment of Marshal Petain and General Weygand. “The people of the Commonwealth” he said, “are not competent at this distance to criticize their actions.” M. Tremoulet said he was quite in the dark about the future of the French Consulate here or the fate of French nationals. If any Frenchman in Australia desired to enlist with the Allies he had no power to prevent it. Neither was he anxious to remain in the Commonwealth at the expense of the Commonwealth. The French fleet, he understood, was under British orders, and the French admirals would probably do what they were told to do.
