REVOLT PLANNED
COUNTER-MEASURES IN FRANCE “MADE IN NICK OF TIME” LONDON, Jan. 4. Counter-measures have been taken in France to prevent a revolt planned to coincide with the Allied landing, says the Paris radio. “ Changes in the Ministry of the Interior were made in the nick of time. We were on the way to anarchy. An insurrection in France, which was originally planned to run simultaneously with the Allied landing with the object of creating trouble in the German rear and paralysing the defences, was beginning to take shape without waiting for the invasion. The insurgents were gaining the upper hand over the badly-armed and ill-organised security forces, and the way was being paved for civil war.” The radio added that 100 Nazi sympathisers had been killed by Paris patriots in the past few months.
