The newspaper regrets that the policy of M. Bonnet meets with violent hostility from many French quarters, ^which do not know how to free themselves from the spirit of Versailles."
"It may be," it adds, "that certain French circles had illusions that the Paris declaration might in some manner clip the a uch illusion was really biti Efforts will be made to salvage the sunken airliner, the telephone message said, Searchers held little hope for the rescue of other survivors.—Domei.
