"who

asked

in

Laval
was
confronted
by
M.
Pomarct.
former
secretary
general
of
the
Senate.
Pomaret
recalled
that
on
July
10.
1940,
a
meeting
was
held
at
which
three
constitutional
acts
were
passed,
givin?
the
marshal
full
powers.
He
said
that
Laval
asked
him
to
get
the
signature
of
Jules
Jean-ncry,
Senate
president,
commenting:
"This
is
where
we
overthrow
the
Republic."
There
was
laughter
when
Laval
said
he
respected
human
life.
"I
hate
war.
I
detest
war--even
when
we
win
we
always
lose,"
exclaimed
Laval.
If
Petain'a
defence
clashed
with
his,
said
Laval,
it
was
too
bad
but
T
must
tell
the
truth."
Laval
described
a
conversation
with
the
then
Prince
of
Wales
ncw
the
Duke
of
Wind-son
in
which
the
latter,
accord
ing
to
Laval,
had
agreed
that
his
Laval's
i
policy
was
the
only
one
possible.
Laval
said
that
he
had
played
every
card
to
prevent
a
coalition
between
France
and
Germany,
even
by
appeasing
Italy.
Pierre
Laval
is
waiting
in
a
dungeon
of
the
French
Palace
of
Justice
to
resume
the
testimony
with
which
he
electrified
yesterday's
session
of
the
trial
of
Marshal
Petaln.
Laval
aired
a
good
many
of
France's
international
secrets
yesterday
bui
promised
that
more
would
be
learned
today.
Laval
testivied
today
that
the
Germans
ordered
both
him
ana
Marshal
Petain
to
speak
out
against
the
Allies
in
connection
with
the
1942
landings
in
North
Africa
and
they
were
compelled
to
do
so.
Laval
said
it
would
have
been
impossible
for
France
to
survive
without
collaboration
and
that
France
fared
bettei
under
occupation
than
had
Belgium.
There
was-
much
discussion
of
a
telegram
purported
to
have
been
sent
by
Petain
to
Hitler
after
Dieppe
offering
French
aid
In
repelling
such
"aggression."
