The Council of Resistance, representing the leading underground groups in France and including partisans and trade unions, Republicans, Rightists, and Communists, has for the first time sent a message to the Committee of National Liberation in Algiers urging to "finish once and for all with the survivals of Vichy." The message also expressed confidence that the committee would remain strictly faithful to General de Gaulle's manifesto of May, 1942, which his followers call the French Charter, embodying the fundamental principles to which all» the forces of resistance have been attached for three years.
