SPEECH BROADCASTED
The statement was broadcast almost immediately by short wrave to the French people.
Mr. Roosevelt said that such col-that the
French government had gone back on its word to the United States, given after the Franco-German armistice, and hinted that relations between the two governments would be jeopardized.
