PROBLEMS IN FRANCE
PEOPLE’S TERRIBLE SUFFERING COLLABORATIONISTS HATED (Received Sept. 23, 2 p.m.) LONDON, Sept. 22 Lady Louis Mountbatten, Superin-tendent-in-Chief of the Nursing Corps of the St. John Ambulance Brigade and a member of the executive committee of the Red Cross and St. John War Organisation, has returned after a nine days’ tour of the Red Cross organisation in France. . She reports that the problems of French civilians are very serious. They have had four years’ suffering not only from lack of fuel and lack cf transport but psychologically from having been occupied and persecuted by the Germans. The children are suffering from skin diseases, the unfortunate mothers having had nothing with which to clean their children. Soap does not exist for civilians, neither do fats, milk and oil products. Resentment against Britain is nonexistent but against collaborators she has never known such hatred.
