black fighters of other lands, who
have bled and died defending the
principles of freedom and liberty,
they had not been privileged to
enjoy.
BALANCE OF POWER
Also revealed for the first time
was how these stalwart colonial
fighters contributed the veritable
balance of power which allowed
General Montgomery's Egyptian
forces to oyerpoWer and start the
highly touted Nazi General Rom
mel in his race across the desert.
Too little has been told about
these black sons of freedom of
France, just as has less been
said about the prowess of
black men in every war in
which America has participant
ed.
Ironic is the fact that the only
people in recent years who have
full knowledge of the courage under
fire of black men are the Germans
while the peoples for whose free
dom they fought to maintain are
in almost total ignorance of the
brave hearts that beat within black
breasts.
GERMANS KNOW
Certainly the Germans, who
faced them in World War I and
their sons, who have been in front
of them thus far in World War II
know of the ferocity of the sharp
shooting, bolo-wielding Senegalese,
whose frightening boast was that
they never took prisoners. Their
ability to WELD cold steel, in close
quarters is unequalled by any group
of fighting men in the world.

Will Liberate Dominated Countries of Europe, He
 Tells Parliament

London, Nov. ll.-(UP)-Kfne George, speaking today at the clos ing session of parliament, pledged that Britain would invade Europe as soon as possible to liberate those countries and peoples now under hateful domination"
 He said a great company of allied forces now are united in a determ- nation to win decisive victory over the axis.
 He paid special tribute to the fighting prowess of the United States, which, he said, lis gathering strength month by month."
 "The relations between my peo- pies and those of the United States is becoming ever closer" he de- clared.
 He also spoke in glowing terms of Russia and it's valiant battle against the axis invaders at Stalingrad and in the Cucasus.
 T share fully the admiration of my people for the glorious feats of arms of the Soviet forces" he said. "The defense of Stalingrad, which has been hard blow struck against our enemies, is a new chapter of heroism written into the annals of war.
 My government and my people are determined to the utmost to as- sist the Russians by supply of the materials of war and hg offensive action against the common foe"
 He made special point of well coming the visit of Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt to Britain.
 Turning to the north African front, the king said Gen. Sir Bern ard L. Montgomery's British Eighth Army had dealth a crushing blow to the axis. In conjunction with that offensive, he said, powerful American and British forces also had landed in north Africa and were punishing the enemy.
 He emphasized that the Royal Air Force had achieved dominance of the air over Britain and northern France.

 The mayor paid tribute to Water- bury's 4,5oo boys in the armed forces, and to the gold star mothers whose ranks are being increased with each report from the fighting fronts.

Cairo, Nov. li.--(UP)-British arr mored columns have by-passed Sidi Barrani and Halfaya tHellfire) Pass on both sides and trapped hun dreds of Germans and Italians flee- ing with the remnants of Marshal Erwin Rommels Afrika Korps, a front-line dispatch said today.
 United Press Staff Correspondent Henry Gorrell, reported from the outskirts of Sidi Barrani that the enemy's retreat was blocked by an armored column which reached Sol- lum, just inside the Egyptian bor- der. this morning.

(United Press Staff C0rrespondent)
 Boston, November II. - (UP) - The Congress of h. dustrial Organizations today condemned its former chief tain -- John L. Lewiston driving a wedge between farmer and worker" in his campaign to unionize agri- culture. The CLOS first war time convention believed that problems of agricultural production and manpower mobilization must be recognized as a vital aspect of the nation wide integrated mobilization and planning for war production. In adopting resolution on agricul- ture and the war, the convention said:
 "The workers'of the CIO recognize their common interest with, and march side by side with, the farm CTS and farm workers of the nation.
 we condemn the efforts of those who, like John L. Lewis, through district 50, would drive a wedge be- tween farmer and worker and ob- scure our common aims, aspirations and needs.
 we pledge ourselves to join in a cooperative action with the work ing farmers of America and their bona fide organizations to secure sound and effective operation of our farm lands, and adequate mo- bilization of farm manpower as a part of our entire national produc- tive machine for ultimate victory

Gen. DeGaulle Calls on All French to Join Him
 in Africa
BY JAMES CHAMBERS United Press Staff Correspondent

London, Nov. 11-(UP)-An AL lied spokesman, broadcasting to France today, said "Frenchmen will be told and told soon when the moment for a general uprising has arisen"
 His appeal coincided with broad- cast appeal by Gen. Charles De Gaulle, leader of the Fighting French, to all Frenchmen within France to "come and join us."
 A third broadcast over the Brit ish Broadcasting Corporations fa- cilities urged all units of the French fleet in the Mediterranean to as- semble at Gibraltar or scuttle their ships.
 The radio appeals were the im- mediate London reaction to Adolf Hitler's taking over of all of France, gain conscripts for his army and seize control of the French navy.
 An authoritative British source odlu AOlluOII Qudl gSlo AIdu dAWuyo assumed that the Germans would break the armistice when it suited them. Hitherto Hitler always has found some Frenchmen willing and able to do his dirty work for him.
 Tt cannot be doubted that Hit lers move will add to his military commitments nor that that farce Vichy regime will come to an end. The astonishing thing is that the entirely unreal state of affairs lasted so long"
 De Gaulle, in a stirring appeal to the native French, said:
 "Frenchmen and Frenchwomen in France! Seize the few hours which are still left to you to come, if you would join those who fight on the side of the Allies.
