PEOPLE OF LE HAVRE
KILLING OF CIVILIANS
(Rec. 1.20 p.m.)
LONDON, Oct. 31
When the R.A.F. on one occasion made a night raid on Le Havre it bombed the docks so accurately that no civilian was killed. After the last R.A.F. plane had departed German planes raided the town and killed 300 men, women, and. children. The people of Le Havre knew which air force had killed the civilians.
The Hon. Neville Lytton revealed these facts upon his arrival in London, accompanied by his wife and daughter, after a year in unoccupied France.
He added that the French morale was highest where the Germans were stationed. "When the day of victory comes there will be a great deal of slaughter," he declared. Many of the French in the unoccupied zone wanted Britain to, bomb railways and factories, which are working for the Axis. Where he had lived a hundred trains a day were conveying coal to Italy.
