Text of Reynaud Address
French Premier Recalls Belgium's Plea
For Aid in Telling of Its Capitulation
By the Auocitted Press.
PARIS, May 28.—The text of
Premier Reynaud’s broadcast this
morning to the French nation, in
which he announced capitulation
of the Belgian Army, follows:
I must announce to the French
people a grave event. This event
occurred last night. France can
no longer count on the Belgian
Army.
Since 4 a.m. Tuesday (10 pm.
E. S. T. Monday) the French
Army and the British Army have
been fighting alone In the north
against the enemy.
You know what the situation
was.
After the rupture of our front
May 14 the German Army filtered
between our armies, which found
themselves broken into two
groups, one to the north and the
other to the south.
On the south It Is the French
divisions which are holding the
new front following the Somme
and Aisne Rivers and then re
joining intact the Maglnot
Line.
Belgians, British and French
In Northern Group.
In the north was a group of
three armies—the Belgian Army,
the British expeditionary corps
and several French divisions in
which many of us have loved
ones.
This group of three armies was
under the command of Gen.
Blanchard. It was supplied via
Dunkerque. The French and
British Armies were defending
this port on the south and west,
the Belgian Army on the north.
It was this Belgian Army
which has just brusquely capitu
lated unconditionally on the
Munitions Agency
With Single Head
Urged by Hoover
'Keep-Off-Grass' Sign,
With Fierce Dog in
Sight, Declared Need
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 28—Former
President Hoover says the Nation’s
preparedness should be entrusted to
a single-headed munitions admin
istration.
The head of such an administra
tion, he said in a nationally broad
cast speech last night, should be an
industrialist and not a politician.
He should be assisted by a non-par
tisan advisory board and sub-direc
tors for agriculture, labor and in
dustry, the former President de
clared.
“The whole of the purchasing and
manufacturing for the Army and
Navy from,private industry should
be done by this administration.” Mr.
Hoover said. “The business of the
Army and Navy is to state what
they want. It is for the munitions
administrator to deliver it."
What the country needs, Mr.
Hoover said, is a sign of “ "Keep ofl
the grass,’ with a fierce dog plainly
in sight.”
Implication Criticized.
The former President was critical
of what he described as the impli
cation in Mr. Roosevelt's Monday
address “that previous administra
tions had been derelict in providing
national defense.”
“These sttaements have a partisan
flavor,” said Mr. Hoover.
Declaring he could "challenge the
implications of Mr. Roosevelt's fig
ures” on what had been accom
plished toward preparedness under
the New Deal, Mr. Hoover said that
national defense was a “relative”
thing—“relative to the military
menace in the rest of the world. ’
Up till the end of his administra
tion, he said, the world “was kept
turned toward peace,” adding:
"The suggestion we should have
armed against menaces that had
not been born seems overdone.”
During the last five years the
country has been warned often of
impending warlike events, yet we
“obviously have not gotten prepared
ness.”
Single-Handed Responsibility.
Mr. Hoover said that the job of
building up defenses could not be
done by "political coalitions," nor
could such operations be controlled
by "boards or councils or confer
ences.”
“The whole genius of the Amer
ican people has demonstrated over
150 years that when we come to ex
ecutive action, including the office
of the President of the United
States, we must have single-handed
responsibility.
“Centralization of executive re
sponsibility for the production of
munitions does not require clothing
any man with autocratic powers.
This form of organization can and
should be based on organized co
operation.”
Mr. Hoover said his conception of
preparedness was a strong Navy, a
skeletonized but more flexible Army,
additions of skilled personnel In the
iteserve, air pilots, tank drivers and
gunners.
Plane Maintenance Costly.
He expressed belief it was not the
President’s proposal to produce 50,
000 planes to be “put away in
hangars.”
"In the face of constantly advanc
ing science and invention it would
be folly to have 50,000 planes in
peacetime. It would require more
than a half-million men to look
after them and to fly them. It
would require more than a billion
dollars a year to support them.”
Asserting that Americans have
“no good reason to be discouraged
or fearful,” Mr. Hoover said:
“Once we convince the world that
our capacities are organized no na
tion will have any desire to establish
bases on the Western Hemisphere or
make any attack upon us now or any
other time.”
Louis Johnson to Reply
To Hoover Tonight
By the Associated Press.
Assistant Secretary of War Louis
Johnson will speak tonight in what
is expected to be a reply to the
address of former President Hoover.
Mr. Johnson’s speech will be
broadcast over the N. B. C. blue net
work from 9:30 to 10 pm.

Dunkerque to the Germans.
Eighteen days ago this same
King, who up to that time had
seemed to attach the same value
to the word of Germany as to
that of the Allies, sent us a call
for help.
To this we replied, following
the plan which had been estab

Allied general staffs.

It is a fact without precedent
In history.
The Belgian government has
told me that the decision of the
King . was taken against the
unanimous sentiment of his re
sponsible ministers. The gov
ernment added it had decided
Itself to put at the service of the
Allied cause all the forces of its
country which were still avail
able, and particularly that it
wished to raise a new army and
collaborate in the work of arm
ing France.
It is about our soldiers that we
are thinking.
They can say their honor is
Intact. They are making a mag
nificent effort along the whole
front. Every day during the 18
days of battle they have given
thousands of examples of hero
ism. Young French generals who
have hardly had time to replace
their elders have already cov
ered themselves with glory.
Leaders and Soldiers
Destined for Admiration.
Our leaders and our soldiers
form a bloc In which the coun
try has entire confidence and
which tomorrow will draw the
admiration of the world.
We knew that sad days were'
coming. They have come.
Trance has been invaded a
hundred times and never, beaten.
That much our -courageous pop
ulations in the north must re
member. It is from the tests
we are awaiting that the new
spirit of Trance will be forged—
a spirit which will be greater
than ever.
Our ^lth In victory Is Intact.
