The
army
of

occupied
the
French
capital
of

during

as
the
defence

Roosevelt
of
the

to
the
final
appeal
of
President
Paul
Reynaud
who,
in
a
speech
last
night,
said
he
had
sent
his

call
for

Waves
of

from

to

said
Reynaud,
adding
that
"the
soul
of
France
is
not
beaten
although
the
life
of
France
is
at
stake."
President
Roosevelt
today
said
he
had
not

declared
that
"everythng

TALK
British

Premier
Says
This
Province
Ready
to
Give
Last
Man
and
Last
Dollar
MONTREAL,
June
It:
(CD-Speaking
from
here
last
night.
Premier
T.
D.
Pattullo
of
British
Columbia
declared
that
British
Columbia
was
prepared
to
sacrifice
its
last
man
and
its
last
dot-lar
to
win
the
war.
He
believed
that
was
the
feeling
of
all
Canadians
who
were
only
too
anxious
to
do
their
part
as
speedily
as
possible.
Now
was
no
time
for
recriminations
as
to
what
had
been
or
what
had
not
been
done.
The
stern
reality
was
that
a
relentless
.
and
resourceful
enemy
had
to
be
defeated.
All
Canadians
felt
it
their
duty
to
defeat
the
"gangsters
and
their
atrocities."
The
Premier
also
felt
that,
when
this
war
was
over,
people
of
Canada
would
not
be
content
to
go
along
in
the
old
way.
First
the
war
must
be
won.
Later
the
spectre
of
insecurity
must
be
removed
and
he
thought
Canada
was
in
a
position
to
do
this.
"Our
hand
is
on
the
trigger
of
justice
and
we
are
ready
to
go,
declared
.Mr.
Pattullo.
"He
is
twice
blest
who
has-
his
cause
