Petain sent a clandes- tine message to the people of France urging them to unite and saying that all he had submitted to had been for their welfarl.

Herriot was brought to Paris from Nancy by Laval expressly to attend and join a meeting of the Senate and the Chamber of Depu- ties to discuss problems arising: from the Allied advance on Paris and the possibility of moving the French government from Vichy to Bclfort.
