<P> Why do you wish us to hide the emotion which seizes us all, men and women, who are here, at home, in Paris that stood up to liberate itself and that succeeded in doing this with its own hands? </P> <P> No! We will not hide this deep and sacred emotion . These are minutes which go beyond each of our poor lives . Paris! Paris outraged! Paris broken! Paris martyred! But Paris liberated! Liberated by itself, liberated by its people with the help of the French armies, with the support and the help of all France, of the France that fights, of the only France, of the real France, of the eternal France! </P> <P> Since the enemy which held Paris has capitulated into our hands, France returns to Paris, to her home . She returns bloody, but quite resolute . She returns there enlightened by the immense lesson, but more certain than ever of her duties and of her rights . </P> <P> I speak of her duties first, and I will sum them all up by saying that for now, it is a matter of the duties of war . The enemy is staggering, but he is not beaten yet . He remains on our soil . </P>
