GERMAN DESIGNS
VAST NUMBER OF HOSTAGES HELD MAKING FRENCH RACE WITHER AND DIE New York, Oct. 24. Though Herr Hitler promised that 2.000.000 French soldiers would be allowed to return home when a collaboration truce was readied, actually fewer than 100,000 have returned to France, and the great majority of them had been terribly wounded or were post middle age. Mr Walter Edge, former American Ambassador to France, revealed this fact in a broadcast to Europe. Mr Edge said Germany was holding vast numbers of young Frenchmen as hostages so that the French race would wither and die. "As a former Ambassador to France." he said, "I feel it my duty to tell the French people that as long as there is an America Hitler cannot win.”—UFA
