N REPRISAL for losses sustained
by the French fleet when parts of
it refused British terms designed to keep it out
of German and Italian hands, French airplanes
are reported to have helped in attacks on Brit-
ish Gibraltar. Possibly such engagements will
sicken Frenchmen as much as the engagements
Between British and French warships saddened
the British Government and people.
Surely the French are logical enough to ap-
preciate the inevitability of the British naval
action, since this was necessary to preserve
Britain's superiority over its-and France's-
enemies in the one department in which Britain
is overwhelmingly superior. Surely the French
have had-in company.- with the British-suf-
ficient experience with the promises of the Axis
dictators to evaluate accurately their promises
not to use the French Navy against Britain.
For the moment it is only to be expected
that relations between France and Britain will
be clouded by these strange and tragic events.
Those relations may be further clouded by the
actions and interibretations of a French "gov-
ernment" which seems ready to collaborate with
iorces that were the enemies of its country yes-
terday; and are today, and will be tomorrow.
What the people in France will hear of these
events we cannot know. Perhaps under the new
order there, which emerges ironically as part
of the "new order" in Europe, they will hear
'as much of the truth as the peoples in dictator-
ships are permitted to hear. What will French
people elsewhere, and friends of France every-
where, feel,
Whatever the misunderstandings between
military staffs, whatever recommendations as
to the conduct of this or that part of the mili-
tary campaign, the war is still being fought for
the same cause for which battle was accepted
by the free peoples of Britain and France. The
cause remains what the French and the British
peoples believed it tQ be at the outset. Britain
still fight on that side. This is the fact that the
unhappy occurrences at sea and now in the air
only serve to emphasize. Where does France
fight; With the bombers over Gibraltar, the
bombers whose shadows have darkened the
best of Europe, even Paris?
It cannot be. Only those leaders whom the
feebleness of French defenses must have al-
ready discredited in most French eyes, only the
same men who with equanimity could risk the
use of France's Navy by France's foe against
France's friend can now willingly risk France's
future in a "reprisal" against the inevitable.

Air Jalopies

ForSale...
THETIME IS NOT YET when it may be a
commonplace of experience to trade in the
family airplane as part payment for a new
one, but is perhaps foreshadowed in present
merchandising of used planes. Plane construc-
tion improves models; earlier models are out-
moded, but still serviceable; some of them have
been privately used, and are taken, as with the
automobile, in part payment for the next.
An investigator finds that there is now an
equal sale of about 2,000 used planes. The buyer
of the used plane is said to be usually a person
of moderate means, which, of course, would ap-
ply as a generalization to the buyers of used
cars.
The beginning traffic in a -recent invention
reverts interestingly to the earliest method of
trade. The customer does not necessarily make
his down payment in cash; the seller exercises
his judgment in what may be called a "swap."
A dealer in one State, for example, accepts

Britain Looks At Petain


(From a Paris correspondent in the
Manchester, Eng., Guardian)
THERE SEEMS TO BE a considerable amount
of misconception in this country on the
real nature of the Petain Government. To treat
it, as some papers here have done, as a "Right-
wing Fascist Government" is misleading. It cer-
tainly represents various pro-Fascist tenden-
cies, and the anti-British spirit (which has been
artificially stimulated in France by recent
events), but it also represents a point of view
peculiar to France of recent years. This is a
kind of fatalism, a belief that France is an old
country which cannot well stand up to the
more dynamic dictator Powers and that the
sooner she adapts herself to the conditions that
are going to govern Europe "for the next few
hundred years" the better it will be.
In the view of some of the men around Mar-
shal Petain it is better to keep the French peo-
ple alive, even through a long period of eclipse,
than to run the risk of their extermination.
Some Frenchmen who have always underrated
the ruthlessness of Nazi methods have often
remarked "France is not a country that can be
destroyed, even if England can."
The "decrepit France" idea of Marshal Petain
goes, paradoxically enough, hand in hand with
the "renewal through eclipse" ideas held in
certain other quarters, particularly among men
of the neo-Socialist school, like M. Deat and
M. Margnet, the Mayor of Bordeaux.
M. Deat took the coming defeat of France for
granted for a good long time. After the break-
through on the Meuse I heard him remark in
the Chamber lobbies, "Better to make peace on
the Somme than on the Seine; on the Seine than
on the Loire; on the Loire than on the Garonne,"
and the old pro-Munich people now use as their
favorite argument, "If we acted as we did, it
was in order to save you this-which we fore-
saw."
Defeatsm OCn The Left
As I often pointed out in the past, Munich
defeatism was by no means a monopoly of the
Right. There were very strong defeatist cur-
rents among all the parties, not least among the
Radicals, with their Bonnets and their Chau-
temps, and the Socialists, with their Feuriers
and their Paul Faures. All these Pacifist Left-
wing elements are represented in the Petain

that she must fight out her own salvation, no
matter through how many years of suffering
and agony, is deep-rooted in the French mind.
One of the most pathetic sights on board the
ship on which I sailed from Bordeaux was the
fearful internal conflict that went on in the
minds of many of the French refugees on board
while the ship was still anchored off the French
coast. The outcome of this conflict-which man-
ifested itself in some painful family scenes-
was that a large number of French passengers
decided to disembark and to return to Bordeaux,
whatever the dangers awaiting them there.
Such is that attachment of the French to their
native soil, this determination to "stay togeth-
er" in France regardless of the calamities
through which she was passing.
This feeling of loyalty to the native soil, even
defiled by the invader and betrayed by a clique
of politicians, is typical of the French charac-
ter, and it explains in a large measure why so
few political leaders, except some of those in
immediate danger of being murdered, have
gone abroad. The French people, though they
have fled from Paris to Tours and Bordeaux,
do not seem, on the whole, to have made any
desperate attempt to go any farther. They are
staying in France, for better or worse, prepar-,
ing, perhaps, for passive resistance against the
invader.
The Italian armistice terms are, on the face
of it, milder than was expected; they do not
provide for the occupation of large French areas
in Europe. They are, no doubt, intended as a
sop to the pro-Italians in the Petain Govern-
ment, who will no doubt see in them a vague
promise of Franco-Italian cooperation directed
both against England and ultimately against
Germany. An idle illusion-but still an effective
illusion and a pernicious one.
The stay-at-home tendency in the French
character partly accounts for the fact that there
are few prominent French refugees in London.
The report of the arrival of several notable men
is not confirmed. M. Herriot is certainly not
there, and from what one knows of him it is
doubtful whether he intends to leave France,
where he probably proposes to end his days
in peaceful retirement. Nor has M. Reynaud
arrived. He was last seen at Bordeaux on Mon-
day.
Whether M. Paul-Boncour and M. Delbos have
arrived is not known. In authoritative French
