Andre Maurois, noted French author and historian, will speak in the Lowell House Junior Common Room tonight at 7:30 o'clock, before his radio talk over the Crimson Network at 10 o'clock.
Sponsored by the Harvard Foreign Relations Club, Maurois will speak on "The Fall of France: Its Causes and Implications for Europe and America." A captain in the French Army, serving in the capacity of liaison officer, Maurois fled when his country surrendered last June.
Long famed as a rabid Anglophile, Maurois advocated stronger English-French cooperation for many months previous to the collapse of France, and believes defeat was due in large part to a lack of understanding between the two countries.
He arrived in the United States from England this fall, and since that time has written a number of articles on the war, and has been making an extensive lecture tour.
