Liberation ls Nearer Than Nazis Expect

NEW YORK, July 1_-i—(AP) -Francc was told tonight by Interior Secretary Haorld Ickm that liberation from Germany would come Bonner than the Nazis expect.

“The eternal spirt of Franco mocks the efforts of the Nazi assassins and the Fascist ruf-

cns.” Ickcs declared in a | eech prepared for a Bvzstille

sy mass meeting sponsored b)’ ‘Franco forever. “France's Cal- vary will oorns to an end--ar.d

than the assassins think."

Words written by Thomas Jefferson are as irtzs today u! they were 127 yours ago, Irkos asserted, quoting them as fol- lows:-

"lt is impossible that France should rest under her rrscnt oppresslons and humilntlons. She will rise In that gIEIf-tlilil strength which cannot be an- nihilated. and will fatten her fields with the blond of her enemies."

Ickes declared that however long and bitter was the road ahead "the United Nations will restore freedom to France rnd to all the other lands that are under the lash of the Axis."

Already France Is "straimng her muscles" Intent on brcakng her chains and springing at the

onsicr of Munich," Ickcs gold.

"And Hitler's F'en'.‘h pur- pets and stooges, trafiora all, have good cause to fpar the nsngeanw of outraged hvrch patriots on the rbvy of vitrory. For the day cf liberrtlon will also be a day of just retribu- lion."
