Most of the lessons of the war are too obscure to learn. The fall of France cant be explained. Gossip filtering back indicates a stench to By ROBERT McSHANE (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) ATAX BAER, who was thought to have reached the end of his heaven. We are already officially blamed for not doing something that we were somehow supposed to be obliged to do. Who obligated us? Mr Bullitt did say openly that we wouldnt be in it at the beginning but would be in the end. The end came too soon for France. If she relied on Mr. Bullitt, she missed the bus. The lesson from France is not clear enough to learn but there i one lesson from the whole bloody mess that simply shrieks. No nation can rely on any other and certainly not we on the British navy, or Latin America, or on anything but our own strength. e France created the cordon the ring of little nations like Poland, Czechoslovakia and Rumania, to keep Germany captive. She relied on them and they on her. She relied on the British navy. Britain relied on the French army. When Hitler began to show strength, France wanted to stop him. Britain wouldnt play. When Mussolini hijacked Ethiopia, Britain wanted to stop him. France wouldnt play. Both let Hitler and Mussolini build up the strength to ravage the French and British reliance on little nations in the cordon sanitaire and their reliance on Britain and France.
