military adviser to the govern
ment. His heart was not only
broken, but torn into shreds as
every day brought him more
proofs of the treason which had
destroyed France.
The conduct Of General de
Gaulle had been a terrible blow.
They had been friends, almost
brothers and to see him raise the
standard OF revolt against his own
Fatherland, and become an ally
of Great Britain almost destroyed
the ideals to which Weygand had
devoted his life.
He had always distrusted Eng
land. and the incidents leading UP
to the armistice convinced him
that one OF Mr.. Churchills aims
was to transform France into
Dominion Of the British Empire.
Weygand wanted France to re-
main a great independent nation,
capable Of arising out OF its ashes,
which he was we'll aware she would
never be able to do II englobed
into the political system which
had sent Napoleon to st. Helena
He believed in France. and he de-
cided that the task to which he
ought to devote himself was saving
for France her colonies. and going
to Africa to fight de Gaulle and
defeat what he regarded as false
friends who. he believed. were
trying to despoil his beloved
Fatherland OF what was still left
to her of treasures and OF wealth
on the dark African Continent.
This Is the secret OF -Weygands
departure for Africa. He will stay
there as long as de Gaulle is not
subdued. and subdue him Weygand
is determined to do.
