PETAIN’S HONOUR
GUIDE TO FRANCE DARLAN DECLARATION CALL FOR DISCIPLINE (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Aug. 15, 2.10 p.m.) LONDON, Aug. 14. The Vichy Minister of Defence, Admiral Darlan, broadcasting from Vichy to the French land, sea and air forces and to the colonies, appealed for support to Marshal Petain’s programme. "The sacrifice of these members of the three forces who have been killed was . not in vain,” declared Admiral Darlan. “France can now be reborn. “The nation's defeat cannot harm the morale of the men whose bravery the enemy recognised at Narvik and Dunkirk and more recently in Syria. Defeat must not lead to despair, but to meditation on past faults with a view to averting their repetition. Honour and discipline are Marshal Petain’s guide and must also be ours.”
