AND KO-K- O Since Hitler's blitzkriegs have demonstrated that preconceived ideas of waging war are entirely outmoded and useless, much .criticism has been directed .toward army leaders in America. There has been no great preparation for defense legions or agaist mechanized air raids. There is still too around with much puddering oat bags and infantry march- re- OUI-OU- I sir, the awkwardness of your position is itself compared with that of a man engaged in the grace act of cutting off his own head. So spoke Lord High Executioner of Titipu, in Gilbert and Sullivans perennial Mikado. And so the French government might speak today as it engages in the last melancholy formalities of destroying itself and assuming the shape of whatever weird changeling the conqueror dictates. It is hard to watch these grotesque gyrations at iehy and to see in them the slightest relationship to Frenchmen as they have in them decades stood proudly before the whole world as men free and unafraid. My good Ko-K- o, If there is, then, a certain lack of grace in the bringing forth of this changeling state at Vichy, no wonder. The pressure under which this bleeding stump of France is acting is hinted by the German news dispatch which pointedly says: If the decision of the necessary numbers of members is lacking, a legal solution already has been That, translated, provided to make delay impossible. means simply, Sign, boys or else! ... Stunned by defeat, numbed by humiliation, the French nation is not functioning in this act. The people who fiercely dedicated themselves only 70 years ago to Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity can scarcely be dedicating themselves with equal consciousness to the principles of Mussolini and Franco. For this new government in France (one cannot say of France) is not that of a free people, or even of an independent people. It is merely an arrangement imposed by force from without. No such arrangement has ever in world history made for permanence. The third Republic died when Paris fell. France, the worlds very symbol for freedom and tolerance and individualism, is nothing now but a province, the same to Hitler as once it was to Caesar. Nothing ever returns to its exact former status. It would be absurd to predict the restoration of the Third Republic, or even to predict. the eventual setting up of a Fourth Republic which would worthily succeed it. But the last word in the story of France is not being spoken at Vichy. Neither the people who allowed the Third Republic to decay, nor the people who are erecting this wretched German appendage on its corpse, are really France. The France of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity will find a way, some day, to live again. Of the more than 20,000 species of land mammals on this earth, only one, the kangaroo rat, has six of its seven neckbones fused together.
