DARLAN'S POSITION
BRITISH OPINION DISTURBED
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.)
(Special Correspondent.) . LONDON, December, 14. Few incidents have disturbed public opinion in Britain during the war more than the position of Admiral Darlan, and last week's secret session in Parliament has done nothing to allay the uneasiness. In addition to the attention which is being paid to comment by British people, much has also been directed to the Views of Mr. Maisky (the Soviet Ambassador), Mr. Wendell Willkie, and General Catroux (the Fighting French Commander in the Middle East). Mr. Maisky referred to the disillusionment in imprisoned Europe, Mr. Willkie to the loss of moral unity, and General Catroux to military danger. Both the British Government and President Roosevelt are being looked !to for a statement. Nobody likes the position, and the sooner it can be ended the better everyone will be pleased.
