Sirs:
I am leaving France through which, actually, I had to pass in order to go to Denmark.
Passing through it briefly has only renewed and refreshed the impressions I already had of this country with its old culture and its taste for tough work.
I avoid political interviews so as not to complicate the technical matter of getting visas because of differences of opinion, which nonetheless retain their significance.
The French authorities with whom I have dealt during my short trip have done their duty with a great deal of tact.
