PROGRESS IN TUNISIA
NO NEED FOR WORRY
LONDON, January 26. The British Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Richard Law, said at Leeds today that there was no need to be despondent at the rate of our progress in Tunisia. Before the Allies could drive the Axis from North Africa they had to build up a tremendous organisation, and that would take time. Mr. Law said that many of the things in the North African campaign that were worrying people would sort themselves out before long. He pointed out that the Allies were not occupying North Africa in the sense that the Germans were occupying France, Poland, and Belgium. We were not there "to enslave the country, he said. We had gone there to free French North Africa, and we were not hv a position to adopt an attitude of pure dominance and coercion.
