Continuing "Favourably"
London, May 20.
HE announcement that 100,000 French prisoners of war are to be released "immediately" was made yesterday by the French Government in Vichy in a communique, adding "Franco-German negotiations are continuing favourably."
One hundred thousand men out of the 1,800,000 actually in German hands is not very much.
In fact, arithmetically, it is like offering a starving man one spoonful of soup onl But it is being presented to the French public as a "first instalment."
