CAMPAIGN AGAINST VICHY
NAZI-CONTROLLED RADIO (Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, May 29. “ The whole of France is rising in opposition to the Vichy Government’s mismanagement of the exchange of French war prisoners for workers in German factories,” says the Nazi-con-trolled Paris radio. “ Incompetent authorities sent thousands of aged sick to Germany, while young, rich men escaped conscription by bribery and string-pulling. The whole country is disgusted, and confusion reigns everywhere. Workers on jobs essential to the national life have been spirited to Germany. Every Frenchman knows that the incompetent Vichy authorities have landed us in this muddle.” (Paris radio has been campaigning against Vichy, particularly on the food situation. These accusations from German-controlled Paris may mean that the Germans find Vichy too slow in carrying out their orders, and are preparing the ground for some extremist like Deat.)
