The Sun

by JUNE SIOnELS, ICB
Powell Junior High School.
I watched the sun rise until
1t passed the mountains height.
It's lovely golden beams made
This ancient world seem new and
brgiht.
Its warm, sunny rays spread afar
To warm my flower beds
And make the lazy daffodils
Lift high their drowsy heads.
Then later on the veil of dusk
Claimed their glorious sight
For the other side of Natures world
While we slept through the night.

State Department Concerned
At De GduIle's Political Stand
Free French Leader Believed On Trial
Before Masses of His Own Nation

figure in his own country before its
fall. But both governments are
obliged to deal with situations as
they are rather than as they wish
them to be- A political "putsch" on
the part of Gen de Gaulle would
diminish instead of augment the
sympathy for the Allies and for
Gen. de Gaulle himself among the
people of France.
According to the Churchill-De
Gaulle agreement of August Z, 1910,
it was definitely decided that the
French general would be ''the head
of all Free FTenchmen wherever
they may be who rally to you in
support of the Allied cause" In
November. l94l, at the suggestion
of Secretary of State Hull, the
American Government offered Gen.
de Gaulle all the benefits of the
lease-lend law to enable him to OBJ
tain the war material necessary for
his forces. He now receives lease
lend war material through the
British
The State Department has taken
pains to explain to the leader of the
Free French that the governments
in-exile, which have been recognized,
are either represented by their for
mer sovereigns, as in the case of
Holland, Norway and Yugoslavia, or
by former heads of governments, as
in the case of Poland, Czechoslo-
vakia and Belgium. The insistence
of Gen. de Gaulle, therefore, on po-
litical recognition is embarrassing.
Nothing is known in France of the
generals political opinions or ideas
and his claim to be the French gov
ernment merely adds another con-
fusing choice to the already abund-
ant confusion in the French scene.
The French people are in a state
of suspended animation and are
awaiting events to make up their
minds. An outstanding military
leader contributing to an Allied
victory could become the hope of a
country which was ruined by po-
litical Vaccinations. In the mill
tary field, at least for the present,
lies Gen. de Gaulle's opportunity.

Gen. Charles de Gaulle'S state
ment that the Free French must be
given political status has caused
no little CONSERVATION and disap-
pointment in State Department
circles and may have a detrimental
effect on the entire Free French
movement.
Both Washington and London
realize fully the complications with
which Gen. de Gaulle has had to
deal in forming a united organiza-
ton. After his brilliant and daring
escape from Nazi-occupied France
he found himself the natural leader
of all French fighting men outside
of France who sympathized with the
Allies.
Unlike many leaders, however, he
has been restricted in the choice Oh
his followers and advisors. Some
of them are brave Frenchmen who
escaped under incredible difficulties
TO ioin him in England; others are
refugees who struggled into Eng
land before the fall of France and,
who not being regular fighting men,
have occupied themselves largely
with the formation of a political
party pretending to represent the
whole of France.
Gen. de Gaulle's statement Is
INTERPRETED as meaning that the
latter group has definitely gotten his
ear. This puts both Washington
and London in a very difficult posi-
ton. for according to reports from
American diplomatic and consular
officers, the man in the street" IN
France is ready to judge the prevl-
ously unknown Gen. de Gaulle ac-
cording to the military show he
PUTS up. He is equally ready, how
ever, to resent the attempt on the
rart of a little known officer to set
up a government in exile which
calls itself France"
In other words. for the masses OF
the French, Gen. de Gaulle is on
trial and his future status will de-
pend on his military achievements.
Washington and London are regret
full of the fact that the Free French
leader was not a widely known
