Many people do not fully realize what
Life Insurance can mean to them after
the immediate need for family protection
has passed—say from age 60 onwards.
Having provided for your family, what
have you done for yourself ? If your present
insurance would not provide a comfortable
retiring allowance, let me show you our
Retirement Income plans. I will give you
full particulars without obligating you in
any way.

of a French Republic when the
Gestapo rules supreme in Paris,
Lille and Bordeaux?
However, your title is not the
important thing. You, M. Gas-
ton Henri-Haye, arrived in the
United States four days ago with
quite a sufficient load of prob-
lems, and I do not want to in-
crease them yet further by bur-
dening you with that one. There
are matters of greater weight
to which I would invite your at-
tention.
You come from a country, the
largest part of which is occupied
by barbaric hordes, — a coun-
try whose youth is in captivity,
whose soil is laid waste, and
whose people are now faced with
a winter of starvation. Starva-
tion in France! In God's fertile
and blessed land! A greater
tragedy could not have been
imagined.
Yet, it is in such moments of
historic catastrophe that the
greatness of a people and its
rulers stands revealed, and to our
deep sorrow, we are compelled
to say that the present Vichy
regime has failed to meet this
particular crisis. Some say that
the regime is fascist; others
claim that it is only transitional,
on the road of fascism. But
whatever the case, it is obvious
that it has very little to do with
the France that the world has
known during the last 150 years.
You, yourself, offer the example.
When newspapermen asked
you, immediately after your ar-
rival, why the Petain-Laval Gov-
ernment annulled the decree pro-
hibiting defamation against Jews,
your Excellency replied that
"The post-armistice repeal of the
French Law prohibiting publica-
tion of defamatory statements
about the Jews was merely to
cancel special privileges for the
Jewish population, as everybody
in France is on the same foot-
ing today," I am compelled to
tell you that every true friend
of France was deeply ashamed
after reading your statement.
Don't you really know that the
law in question was not at all a
special Jewish privilege? Don't
you know that in the decree of
April 25, 1939, there is no men-
tion of Jews? In the preamble
to the decree it is stated (I
quote verbatim) : "This decree
concerns defamation and public
insults against a group of people
belonging by their origin to a
specific race or religion, when
these acts aim to arouse hatred
amongst the citizens and resi-
dents." Jews are certainly includ-
ed among those who may not
be publicly insulted, but they are
not selected for special privilege.
The decree is designed equally
to protect Protestants, Catholics,
Mohammedans, Negroes, and all
other races and religions in the
French Empire.
And do you not know that
when the government of the for-
mer Republic issued this decree
it had no intention of according
special privileges to Jews but
had as its purpose the stopping
of poisonous and disruptive pro-
paganda with which the Nazis
were seeking to disrupt the Re-
public? The Nazis had been
trying for a number of years to
paralyze every resistance of the
French social organism so that
they should be able to conquer
a corpse, and to the profoundest
regret of civilized humanity, they
partly succeeded.
There is no decent man in the
entire world who does not sym-
pathize with France in her great
misfortune, but even in time of
misery a nation should be able
to retain its dignity. By the
words you have chosen to utter,
you have in no way elevated the
tragedy of France. Can you
imagine one of those great
Frenchmen who won the admira-

tion of humanity saying that one
may insult the Jews because
Jews are not entitled to privi-
leges? Can you see such words
on the lips of Charteaubriand,
Victor Hugo, Emile Zola, or Ana-
tole France?
Can you visualize a great
statesman of the Third Republic
disposing of the Herschl Grynsz-
pan case in the callous manner
of the Vichy regime? Would Cle-
menceau or Briand or Painleve
have surrendered this boy to the
executioner, however much the
executioner may have momentar-

thirteen years ago, the boulevards
of Paris resounded to the echo
of "Schwarzbart acquitted," and
all Frenchmen applauded this
verdict. Now you have taken
Grynszpan, even before his trial,
dragged him out of prison and
thrown him mercilessly to his
and your murderers.
All this shows that you capi-
tulated to the enemy not only
in body but also in spirit, and the
grief is therefore a thousand
times greater. One of your most
distinguished writers, Georges
Duhamel, wrote not long ago:
