England Refuses To Recognize Bordeaux Government

Armistice
Conditions
Revealed
Committee Is Organized
In London To Continue
Resistance; Alpine Units
Seek EscapeTo Africa
LONDON, June 23.-(P)-The Bri-
tish radio broadcast a statement to-
night that the British Government
could "no longer regard the Bordeaux
Government as the government of
an independent country."
The announcer said that the Bri-
tish Government found that the
terms of the German armistice were
"in contravention of agreements
solemnly made between the Allied
governments" and reduced the Bor-
deaux Government "to a state of
complete subjection to the enemy
and deprived it of all liberty and all
right- to represent free French citii-
zens."
Broadcast In Frencli
The statement was broadcast in
French and a later official transla-
tion said that it was made "on au-
thority of His Majesty's Govern-
ment."
The formation of a French Na-
tional Committee in London to con-
tinue the war against Germany was
announced over the British radio
tonight by French Gen. Charles de
Gaulle.
"The war is not lost," he said,
"Long live France!"
Petain Is 'Amazed'
De Gaulle, undersecretary of war
in Premier Paul Reynaud's Cabinet,
spoke shortly after Marshal Premier
Henri Philippe Petain in a broadcast
from France expressed "sorrowful
amazement" at Prime Minister Win-
ston Churchill's statement on the
British Government's "grief and
amazement" at France's acceptance
of Germany's armistice terms.
Alpine Army Carries on
It was reported from Chancy on'
the French-Swiss border that many
French units in the Alps facing the
Italian frontier were heading toward
Toulon today, seeking a way out to
North Africa.
General de Gaulle's London broad-
cast calling on Frenchmeh to carry
on was reported to have made a deep
impression on the French Alpine
Army-the only army France now
has that is intact.
Reports coming from the Balearic
Islands indicated that whole squad-
rons of French planes were winging
across the Mediterranean, presum-
ably to the French protectorate of
Morocco.
Armistice Terms Make
France Germany's Ally
LONDON, June 23.-P)--France
must submit to military occupation
of more than half her continental
territory by German troops and
turn over all her fleet and arms to,
German quartermasters, it was dis-
closed today by the British Govern-,
ment which said these armistice
terms robbed the French of all in-,
dependence.
Dismayed by the prospect, the
British Government repudiated the
French Government of Marshal
Premier Petain at Bordeaux and
announced that it would deal hence-
forth with a French National Com-
mittee formed in London.
Under the armistice France is re-
quired to surrender her arms, muni-
tions and Atlantic coastline, and be-
comes in effect a passive ally of Ger-
many for the battle of Britain.
Italians Ready To Take
French Mediterranean
GENEVA, June 23.--P)--Fascist
sources here said tonight that the
whole Mediterranean coast of France
would be occupied by Italian troops
by agreement with Germany and
that after the war a semi-indepen-

fessor of English history.
Born Nov. 14, 1873, in Portland,
Me., Professor Cross was the son of
Emerlous D. and Charlotte C. (Noyes)
Cross. He studied at Harvard Uni-
versity where he received his Bach-
elor of Arts, Master of Arts and

Michigan Repertory Group
To Give Prizewinning
Plays With Local Cast
Featured in the Twelfth Annual
Season of the Michigan Repertory
Players will be seven outstanding
plays, to be presented from June 26
through August 13. The group is
sponsored by the Department of
Speech, with Professor Valentine B.
Windt as Managing Director.
Opening the season June 26, will
be "The Critic" by Richard Brinsley
Sheridan, which was presented here
during the regular Play Production
season. It is an eigtheenth centur'y
rehearsal farce satirizing the heroic
drama and Elizabethan dramatists.
Maxwell Anderson's "The Star Wa-
gon," a play of supernatural theme
emphasizing the good old days in
contrast to present harsh material-
ism will begin its run July 3.
The 1921-22 Pulitzer Prize play
"Beyond the Horizon" will follow the
Anderson production, beginning July
10. Its tense psychological conflict
won the admiration of New York
critics.
"Two On An Island," Broadway
success of the current season, will
open July 17. Its author, Elmer Rice,
has stated that it is similar in theme
and treatment to "Street Scene,"
Henry Aldrich will come to Ann
Arbor starting July 24, in "What A
Life," the high school farce, by Clif-
ford Goldsmith.
"Escape," an adventure drama by
WHITFORD KANE
the famous novelist and playwright,
John Galsworthy, will open July 31.
A special feature of this play will be
the appearance of Whitford Kane.
Kane, noted Irish actor, is fainiliar
to Ann Arbor audiences.
Concluding the season will be the
seldom-performed work of Gilbert
and Sullivan, ,the operetta "Pa-
tience." Among the most tuneful
and most difficult of Gilbert and
Sullivan works, it has been charac-
terized as a satire on the aesthetic
movement. It will open August 7.

1940 GOP
Convention
Opens Today
Willkie's Growing Strength
Worries Opponents As
Delegates Await Hour
Philadelphia Filled
By Excited Throng
PHILADELPHIA, June 23. -(EP)-
The apparently growing strength of
Wendell Willkie put all other Re-
publican presidential candidates on
the alert tonight, while an excited
throng of delegates awaited the con-
vening of the 1940 convention tomor-
row.
Impartial samplers of convention-
eve opinion in the city's jam-packed
hotel lobbies came quickly to what
they considered an inescapable con-
clusion, that as of the moment the
battle lay between Willkie, Senator
Robert A. Taft of Ohio and Thomas
E. Dewey.
A lively watch was maintained for
any indications of a forming Taft-
Dewey combination, intended to
check the Willkie boom, while in
authoritative sources, it was learned
that the Dewey managers were work-
ing outta new strategy for the com-
ing battle.
It was simply to concentrate every-
thing on the first ballot. This in-
volved making all possible deals be-
fore the balloting begins, so that by
combining support to be obtained in
this way with the delegates pledged
to Dewey as the result of his state
primary victories an unexpected and
impressive showing of strength might
be made, and a possible rolling snow-
ball started. Behind such a move
lay the obvious factor that the
pledged delegates might slip away on
later ballots.
Willkie, himself, rumpled and busy,
was spotted shouldering his way
through the throng at the Benjamin
Franklin Hotel, and in a few brief'
sentences emphatically delivered his
opinion of the situation. His drive
was "coming along magnificently,"
he said. Then he added that he
would have support from all states
except three-Mississippi, Louisiana
and South Carolina-and, to cap it,
he would be nominated "damn quick."

It is a privilege indeed to wel-
come the students and visiting
members of the faculty to the Uni-
versity of Michigan for our forty-
seventh Summer Session. The
splendid cooperation of the regu-
lar members of the faculty in
building the program for thissum-
mer assures me of their desire to
make your sojourn with us pro-
fitable and pleasurable. I com-
mend to you the special lectures
and entertainments which have
been arranged for your enjoy-
ment. Any changes which occur
will be announced on the official
bulletin boards and in the col-
umns of the Michigan Daily. The
Daily will serve as your morn-
ing newspaper with brief ac-
counts of matters of national and
international importance :nd will
keep you posted concerning the
activities within our University
community. You should read the
OFFICIAL BULLETIN published
within The Daily to inform your-
self concerning changes in class
schedules or other important an-
nouncements.
In addition to the plays, con-
certs and social occasions which
have been arranged, I recommend
to you the lectures which are an-
nounced by the committee in
charge of the Graduate Study
Course in American Culture and
Institutions. This course of lec-
tures begins July 1, and continues
throughout a period of five weeks.
A special emphasis has been
planned for each of the five suc-
ceeding weeks as follows: Region-
al Varieties of Cultural Develop-
ment, Religion and Education, Lit-
erature and Art, Commerce and
Industry, Government and Poli-
tics. The lecturers are outstand-
ing authorities upon the subjects
which they will discuss. In these
times of international stress, it
seems appropriate that we should
cherish the fundamental elements
of our American culture.
To you students who are regis-
tered in the stations away from
Ann Arbor may I express to you
also my wish for happy summer
work in your chosen fields.
