Opposed to these collaborationalist elements are the great mass of French people.  The
group of greatest importance is the large group of intelligent men and women, mostly professional
people, between 30 and 40, who make up the intellectual elite.  Prior to 1939 their interest in
politics was negative; now they lead the resistance.  While opposed to Synarchism on the one
hand, they are equally opposed to the return of the pre-war form of parliamentary government. 
They favor State Socialism for all industries of national importance (railways, electrical power,
insurance companies, mines, etc.)  Their platform appeals to the laborer.  It gives organized labor
a large part in the future French Statee, with self-chosen representatives.  The group is studying a
plan for a new constitution patterned on that of the United States.  They want none of the Third
Republic, and laugh when reminded by the parliamentarian "has-beens" of Algiers that
PRESIDENT LE BRUN is still President of France.
     The major criticism Resistance Groups in France level at Algiers is that too much time is
given to minor political debates among representatives of a defunct Parliament.
     People inside France will believe in the French Army only when it has proven victorious in
battle in continental Europe.  Great disappointment has been felt over the part played by Fernch
troops in Italy.  Many Resistance leaders regret this attitude
