INCREASING CONFUSION
EMBARRASSING SITUATION FOR ALLIED ARMIES (Recd. 8 p.m.; London, Jan. 2. “Internal confusion is steadily increasing in French North Africa and West Africa because French authority has no basic point,” said General Charles de Gaulle in a statement. “The results of the confusion are, firstly, a situation embarrassing for the operations of the Allied armies, and, secondly, the fact that at a decisive moment France was deprived or the French Empire’s unity for 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 the method of attaining the objective.”
