A scathing attack against the latest German White Paper was launched in the French press today, which referred particularly to that part of the paper purporting to shed light on conversations alleged to have been held between American and Polish diplomats during the past few years.
"Lo Journal" stated that the "Paper" was nothing but an attempt to intervene in American domestic affairs, a more impudent example of which has never been seen. It aimed at in-fluoricing public opinion in the United States against the present Government. "The White Paper is but the first in a series of large-scale manceuvres from which we shall hear again," the paper added.
"Lo Jour" expressed the opinion that Herr Joachim von Ribbentrop's department was responsible for the allegations, the sole aim of which was to jeopardize the re-election of President Roosevelt, serve as an argue to the isolationist faction, and ce stitute "revenge" for the action of the American Government in not supporting Germany's peace plan and in delivering the latest types of American planes to the Allies. This affair may have important diplomatic re-Paper added, for Germany's "petty tricks" have often ended in clumsy mistakes—Havas.
