La France Libre. (Hamish Hamilton. 2s.)

THE Free French movement in Great Britain is already well represented in the journalistic world by the daily paper France, which has now been running for some three months and has attained a circulation of over 35,000. Now a welcome is due to a serious and well-produced monthly review La France Libre. Its first words define its catholic aim: " This review makes appeal to every Frenchman, and equally to everyone who loves France." It is edited by Dr. Andre Labarthe, one of General de Gaulle's earliest supporters, and among the contributors to the first issue, which appeared last week, are Dr. Eve Curie, Professor Denis Saurat, M. Camille Huysmans, Burgomaster of Antwerp, and other writers, British, French and Belgian.
