122 - 22 - Under the title "Prague will win", Emile Payet in the "Oeuvre" addresses a pathetic call to the Czechs: what our Czech friends need to know is that in the same mass as it is connected with his heart to the western democracies of France and England, these are with all their hearts with the Czech.

France will never betray the noble Czechoslovak nation and never leave it. He is pleased to note that Benesch and Sikorski swore that Czechoslovakia and Poland would always live like two sisters as soon as they regained freedom."Hell reports abroad, 21.11.39, No.2: Oesterreichische Grenze, Havas:"Travelers from Bohemia and Moravia report new details about the five days of terror that Prague has experienced.
