WAITING FOR THE DAY
HUNGRY FRENCH PEOPLE
EFFECT OF OPENING SECOND FRONT (Rec. 9 p.m.) NEW YORK, June 6. The Washington correspondent of The New York Times says that the establishment of a strong second front in Europe, especially if led by the United States troops, would result in the world’s biggest uprising of Fifth Columnists in Occupied and Unoccupied France, according to well-informed circles. The hungry French people only 7" await military developments before turning upon the Germans. The latest news from France indicates that there is at present no immediate German pressure for the control of the French fleet, the bulk of which is now based at Toulon. Vichy has already given orders for scuttling the ships if the British attempt to seize them.
