" 1. Once again, my country, that country which is only an idea has not been invaded and never will be.

2. Pétain is not France. Pétain and Laval do not speak for us. Their word does not commit us to anything and cannot dishonor us.

3. The only right way to gauge this event must be in terms of the world. In the world, France has not been defeated. "
