A few days after the occupation of North Africa, London, England announced that two former Vichy politicians, Pierre-Etienne Flandin and Pierre Pucheu, had arrived in Algeria to confer with Admiral. According to reliable information since received, Flandin is actually in North Africa, and Pucheu is in Lisbon, Portugal maintaining contact with Algiers from there. Most commentators described Pucheu and Flandin as a pair of rats fleeing a sinking ship. Some day it will also be clear that these men did everything possible to bring about the collapse of France because that was to be the screen behind which their economic transactions would be carried out.
