STATEMENT BY DE GAULLE
(U.P.A. and Official Wireless.) LONDON, January 2. "Internal confusion is steadily increasing in French North Africa and West Africa because French authority has no basic point," said General de Gaulle in a statement. "Results of the confusion are that, first, the situation is embarrassing fjpr the operations of Allied armies; "secondly, at a decisive moment France is deprived of the French empire's unity for the pursuit of the war in liaison with the resistance movement in France itself. ; "The remedy is the establishment in French North Africa and West Africa and other French overseas territories of a temporary and enlarged central power founded on national unity. I suggested to General Giraud on December 25, in agreement with the National Committee," that we hold a meeting immediately on French soil to study methods of attaining this objective."
