I had meant last week to salute the new daily

paper France, but pressure on space forbade. Nothing is more essential than that the growing French community, military and civilian, in Great Britain should have a paper which will both give them the general news of the world in their own language, and also keep them posted in the progress of the Free France move- ment. The choice of the one word " France " as title is well- conceived. The paper is run not by amateurs, but by French journalists of considerable reputation. It costs a penny a day, and should be obtainable through any newsagent. Some readers may welcome it as a means of keeping up their French. * * * *
