De Corbeiller Explains Rapid Fall of France

Nation was Overpowered by Superior German Technique

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

"There is no mystery about German victory. There was no fifth column, no treason," Philippe E. Le Corbeiller, lecturer in Electronics, said last night. The German Army had a tremendous superiority in planes and tanks. Even at Munich the Allies know they didn't have a chance. The Germans had shown them how strong they were and they know that they could not to beaten by the under equipped French Army.

Tradition Against France

The French, on the other hand, Le Corbeiller pointed out, had a glorious past, a past which blinded them to the future. They did not depend on their technique, they didn't care about industry, they lived for their art and literature. Even today the French do not realize their need for technique, in fact they censure technique.
