AMERICAN ATTITUDE
Giraud-De Gaulle Conflict (7.30 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 General 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, and finally the American policy was chrystallised to the point where it refused to consider any arrangement which would make General de Gaulle the top figure. This position was communicated to Mr Eden, but it is not known whether Mr Eden agreed. Mr Harsch concludes: "There is more than meets the eye about the tangled skein of British, American and French policy. It seems that the Giraud-de Gaulle mystery will not be clarified before the end of the war.”
