FRENCH WAITING
READY TO RISE ON DAY OF INVASION
(Rec. 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, Mar. 17. "France has her whole population ready to rise on the day of Allied landings. Let us hope the landings will not be too late. If so, the whole of the French youth will be sent to Germany or there will be more and more open revolt, which without support from outside cannot lead to anyThi's is the view of M. Andre Philp. Fighting French Commissioner of the Interior and Labour. He added: "The French who are revolting m Savoy have no hope of success. The Fighting French are trying to organise passive resistance and systematic sabotage rather than open revolt. We have to be sure that General Giraud's words will be followed by deeds, and that all who have held responsible executive posts in North Africa under the orders Qf the Germans will be replaced.
