North Africa Threatened
German Drive Emphasizes Preeorious Position
Of French Holdings and Weygond's FutiIity

board the troopships which leave
for the overseas possessions are to
be seen aged officers whose physical
fitness can be questioned at first
sight. They won in the race for
pay and extra allowances. But that
remark may apply to the distant
colonies rather than to Africa.
Now, as to German activity. The
number of German officers on the
armistice commissions is not great,
according to official sources: From
Is to 35 out of total staff of 81,
which includes subalterns and sec
retaries. But, nearly every day, a
big transport plane, made conspicu-
Gus by snowy swastika, lands on
the Algiers airfield. Such is the
link between the commissions on
the spot and the German authori-
ties in occupied France. That de-
tail indicates that Germany can at
will add to the resident staff and
that the control of the French off,
Gals df they ever attempt to assert
it, may easily be baf1ed So many
corners and goers cannot be checked
accurately.
How is it that, contrary to the
provisions in the armistice con-
ventions of last June, Germans
were substituted for Italians? The
responsibility rests with Pierre
Etienne- -Flandin, former foreign
minister who approved OF the
change instead of lodging a pro-
test against what actually was
an infringement upon Germany's
pledged word.
Italians Were Withdrawn.
At first, Germans and Italians
performed their task side by side.
Then the Italians were withdrawn.
The German officers, most of them
chosen because of their acquaint-
ance with the Arabic world, are
particularly enterprising in Morocco.
They mingle undisturbed with
native chiefs and dignitaries. An
other violation of the armistice
conventions which, to this day, Gen.
Weygand has tolerated meekly to
the disgust of Gen. Nogues, the high
commissioner at Rabat. Indeed,
military control is an elastic term:
1t can be stretched to cover any
interference with French rule.
The German agents, hitherto,
nave been rather clumsy in their
dealings with Moroccans and
Spaniards. They spend large sums
drawn from the special account
opened at the Bank of France for
the upkeep of the German Army,
but not perhaps with all the results
they wish for. They don't reckon
fully with the fact that the natives
LOOK down upon SpaniardS in the
same way as upon Italians and are
apt to resent everything seemingly
directed toward extending Spanish
rule On the other hand, Hitler's
might tells on the natives. Here is
a rich vein which lends itself to
fruitful exploitation
Didn't Obtain Supplies.
Such is the outline of the position
in French North Africa. Can Gen.
Wevgand be reasonably expected to
react to it? He has not known how
to Obtain, when it was still time,
the most necessary supplies. The
vision he may have had OF the
part which it was possible for North
Africa to fulfill in the present con-
flict was crushed by outside con-
siderations. He has no real knowl-
edge of the problems which torment
the world, and the narrow pref
udices Of a hard-boiled reactionary
block for him all ways of approach.
He was compelled to leave the

cabinet last September, because he
had denounced the annexation of
Alsace-Lorraine, a step thoroughly
unwarranted, under the armistice
conventions. He is liable to be dis
missed at any moment on German
request.
What a contrastf The. King of
Denmark, virtually kept a prisoner
by the German invader, approves of
a de facto temporary American
protectorate over Greenland. Two
fifths of French soil have not fallen
under Germany's direct occupation,
but the Vichy government and its
delegate to North Africa behave as
though their freedom were unim-
paired and they still think in terms

Egypt, equally affects the pros
poets of the French empire in Tunis,
Algiers and Rabat For some time
those German columns are likely to
be kept busy in an eastern direction.
Nevertheless. the mere fact that, in
an emergency, they could be shifted
westward is enough to make Gen.
Maxine Weygand more aware than
ever of his own helplessness.
OF course, it can be argued that
the Germans enjoyed an unusual
spell of luck when they ferried a
huge quantity of war material from
Sicily to Tripoli and that they can
not be certain they will repeat that
achievement at any time. But, as
things stand today, it is only safe to
assume that they may succeed again.
All the more so that we have not
heard the last of German scheming
about Spain and the Straits of
Gibraltar.
North Africa Wide Open.
The truth is that North Africa,
notwithstanding Gen. Weygands
boast that he would repel all in
vaders, now lies wide open to Nazi
undertakings of every description.
Much data can be quoted in support
of that view.
To start with, the military strength
at the disposal of Gen. Weygand
was seriously exaggerated in the
press and perhaps in diplomatic re-
ports. The entire land force prob
ably does not exceed 125 900 men for
Tunis, Algiers, Morocco, and the
warplanes available are fewer than
100. 1t turns out that the Italian
Armistice Commission did more ef-
fective work last fall and winter
than commonly believed. 1t exacted
the disarmament and disbandment
OF many military units. To make
the picture complete, the increasing
shortage of gasoline, of other raw
materials and of some essential food
StuffS must be emphasized.
Are the troops well in hand? Some
time ago a Senegalese regiment re-
belled in Algiers, but the occurrence
perhaps does not deserve to be re-
garded as serious. The pay of the
men had not been raised to the new
rate granted to other native troops.
1t was piece of clumsy military
management.
Officers Are Not the Best.
AS to the officers, they are not
perhaps the best who could have
been retained for service. In France s
present distress there is intense
competition for whatever kind OF
employment still can be gotten from
the state and the selection does not
always operate in conformity with a
high standard of efficiency. On

Greece, ana everywhere one saw long
faces
With Yugoslavia surrounded on every
frontier and i'll prepared for resistance, it
was obvious that the Germans would
plough through her. The best expecta-
tionS might have reckoned in terms Of
weeks; it happened in days. It's psyche
logical reversal, but it will not determine
the outcome of this war.
The war will not be decided in North
Africa, either. If the Greeks can hold
out in their mountains, with British aid,
for short time, the British forces in
North Africa will finish with Eritrea and
AbysSinia and begin counteroffensive
in Lydia.
But it will be silly to go into mental
tailspin If Greece goes, as it probably will,
and pretty soon. 1t will not be the end
of the war if Lydia goes to the Germans
and if Egypt goes. 1 rather expect both
things to happen.
In fact, we are going to see dreadful
events in the next weeks and months, al

of administrative centralism.
However, by now, the question is
no longer what Gen. Weygand does
or does not want to do. His positive
or negative will no longer count for
much. His material power has been
fatally curtailed.
More and more territories are be-
ing thrown into the vortex of the
war. Germany aims today at neu-
tralizing Turkey and Russia, at
making the Mediterranean unten-
able for the British Navy, at wrest-
ing Africa from the control or from
the reach of the Anglo-Saxon peo-
pie. Where is the counterstroke to
come from?
