20 OCTOBER 1944, Page 4

I mentioned a few weeks a g o the comin g transformation of

London's French daily paper France into a weekly. The change is now in process of being made. With the issue of October 19th the daily France disappears. On October z7th the weekly France will be on sale. Its purpose is to familiarise its readers with con- temporary France and enable them to follow week by week the renaissance of French political, social, economic, educational, literary and artistic life. Nothing could be more useful than such an inter- pretation of the France of today and tomorrow. The new France has the opportunity of filling the part played by L'Europe Nouvelle in its best days—and that without encroaching at all on the territory of the admirable monthly La France Libre, which is, happily, to continue on the course on which it is already so successfully set. * * * *,,
