-HE Free French News Agency learns from an unimpeachable source that on February 5, 1941, General Doyen, the chairman of the French Delegation to the Wiesbaden Armistice Commission, addressed a report to General Huntzinger, the French Minister of War, in which he informed the War Minister that should Germany win the war, several French departments, including the department clu Nord, Pas de Calais, part of the Somme and of the Aisne, the Ardennes, the Meuse, the Meurthe and Moselle part of the Haute Saone and of the Alsace and Lorraine, not only colonized by Germany.
In his report General Doyen declared: "I believe it my duty to recall that the German revindications have never been presented all at o"e time, On the contrary, they have striven and they have succeeded up till now, in getting them accepted one afier the other, The establishment of the frontier of France, south of the Schelde River and West of the Meuse River belongs to the German programme of revindications, a programme which the German Government is now impressing on the German people. The more or less complete realization of this programme does not depend on our (French) policy but on the possibilities which the result of the war with England will give to the Reich,"
It is to be pointed out that Gen. eral Doyen, who enjoys the full confidence of the Vichy Government, stresses in his report that, contrary to the recent assertions of Admiral Darlan, the way France will be dealt with after the war does not depend on the policy the Vichy Government adopts in regard to the relations between France and Germany now, but on the ou: come of the war between Germany and England.
It is recalled that not later than May 23, Admiral Darlan, in his Doubs departfüents will be like incorporated into Germany but broadcast speech the French nation, declared that Hitler had informed hi that apart from Alsace and Lorraine, Germany had no territorial dai against France and her colonies, "The part of French territory which seems to be particularly coveted by the Reich," continues General Doyen, "is the forbidden zone on the Channel coast, The German Armistice Commission has just advised us of the creation of a German agricultural company which will be entrusted with the exploitation of the lands now lying waste because French people have been prohibited from returning to this forbidden zone,"
General Doyen concluded his confidential report to Vichy: "If one adds to this that the recruiting of French workers to be sent to Gers many ts being carried out in a most intensive manner, notably in the Nord and Pas de. Calais departments, and that thousands of French men are being conscripted for labour and thus taken away from: their homes, one wonders if the Nazi Government is not seeking to.de= populate systematically parts of our territory in order to make room for German settlers as is now being done in Alsace and Lorraing"
