Paris, June 7.
\MBARKATION of 330,000 soldiers from Dunkirk taught Germany the significance of mastery over the seas, declared the Premier, M. Paul Reynaud, in a broadcast last night.
"Within the last fortnight," he said, "I twice addressed you and each time I had to announce bad news. On May 21 informed the Senate that the Germans had taken Amiens.
On May 28 I announced that the King of the Belgians betrayed us and the road to Dunkirk was open.
"Today in an hour which remains grave I am going to give treason for hope—not words but facts.
Germany has launched herself against us with her usual brutality by three separate thrust:
"The first was when German pro: paganda announced that Allied armies which had gone to Aght in Belgium" had been encircled and would be annihilated. They were to bbe cut off from the sea and deprived of munitions and provisions and the world would witness a capitulation unprecedented in history. In the face of the impossibility of repairing this vast loss of fighters the morale of the Allies would be crushed.
