Official Washington Dislikes de Gaulle
(Rec. 1 p.m.) NEW YORK. April 8. Discussing the Giraud-de Gaulle conflict, Mr Joseph Harsch, in the "Christian Science Monitor” says official Washington decided long ago that de Gaulle was an unsatisfactory person to work with. Mr Harsch explains that Washington grew restless at the prospect of the Free French coming under complete British influence. Finally, American policy crystallised at the point where it refused to consider any arrangement which would- make de Gaulle the top figure. This 'position was communicated to IV/’ Eden. It is not known, however, whether Mr Eden agreed. Mr Harsch concludes: “There is more than meets the eye about the tangled skein of the Anglo-American French policy. It seems the Giraud-de Gaulle mystery will not be concluded until the end of the war.”
