1t seems virtually certain that

At the time of his transfer,
Gen. Waven was the subject of
considerable gossip to the effect
that he was in semi-disgrace be-
cause his sweep into Libya was
followed by reverses from Ger
man-reinforced Axis troops and
Australian criticism of the Greek
and Crete campaigns.

of Commons an explanation,

From what can be gathered in
diplomatic circles, it appears the
administration is loath to antag-
onize the Vichy government and
Gen. Weygand. Marshal Petain
and the French pro-consul in
North Africa have intimated on
repeated occasions that any rec
ognition of De Gaulle or any
commerce with the head of the
Free French would be considered
as definite hostile act towards
the Vichy. government.
Acceptance of the proffered
bases from the hands of the lead
er of Free France forces must
necessarily imply the official rec
ognition Of that movement on
the part of the United States
Government. Having to chose
between keeping the Vichy gov
ernment in state of relative
neutrality and its overadhesion
to the Axis. the State Depart
ment naturally prefers the for
mer. -.
Dislike "Upstart."
The antagonism of Marshal
Petain-and Gen. Weygand to Gen.
De Gaulle is among other things,
a matter of personal dislike.
De Gaulle was just a colonel
at the outbreak of the war, while
Petain was a marshal and Wey-
gand the senior in the French
Army. They cannot swallow the
idea of the 'upstart." the man
who did not have sufIicient rank
to command even a division, be-
coming. suddenly, a leader. They
think little of De Gaulle's mill
tary ability. They don't deny
that he is a good desk officer but
cannot accept him as their peer.
The anger of the two senior
French military leaders mounted
9ecently when De Gaulle' s move
ment gained momentum and he
was able, with the assistance of
the British, to take syf( md 4b-
tain the cooperation Of q num-
Der of colonies which are outside
the reach Of the Germans and,
consequently, of Vichy.
Hence Marshal Petain and
Gen. Weygand are said to con-
slider our taking over the French
possessions in the Western Hem

our recognition of Gen. de Gaulle.

When Gen. Sir Archibald P.
Wavell was transferred suddenly
on July from Britain's Near
East command to India, there was
widespread talk that this most
successful British general had
been kicked upstairs.
Now, eight weeks later, the
transfer has fallen snugly into
place like a curiously-shaped
piece in a great jigsaw puzzle,
filling out an important segment
in the panorama of the war and
of British grand strategy.

and that much steel, now sehed-

authority foresees that at least
