Anglo-French Manifesto To School Children
LONDON, May 9. Copies of a manifesto to the children of France and Britain, signed by Earl de la Warr and M. Sarraut, the British and French Ministers for Education, have been distributed in 23,000 schools in England and Wales, and about 85,000 in France. The manifesto, which appears in both languages, speaks of the comradeship of the French and Brtish peoples and stresses the unity existing between the two countries. “We no longer think of one another as speaking a different language and separated by a narrow _ strip of sea,” says the manifesto. “Jn the face of a common danger
we are as one people.” The manifesto concludes with an appeal to the children of both countries to find out more and mox*e about each other’s lives, literature and culture.
