They may even agree that the
battle that insured the defeat of
the Axis was not one in which
the United Nations triumph but
one in which the potentially most
powerful was caught fast asleep.
For as Sir Edward Greasy chose
the battle of Saratoga instead of

Arnold's defeat of Burgoyne at
Saratoga brought France into the
American War for independence

How long the United States

Text of Appeals to France and North Africa

~HE War Department last night made public
this English version of a message to the
L people of North Africa by 1t. Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower in behalf of President Roosevelt:
The President of the United States has asked
as commanding officer Of the American Ex-
pedtionary Forces to convey to all the people in
Morocco and in North Africa the following messages:
"No nation is more closely bound by historic ties
and deep affection to the people of France and their
friends than the United States of America.
Americans striving not only for their own
safe future but also for the restoration of the ideals
of the liberties. and the democracy of all those who
have lived under the Tri-Color.
I'VE come among you to save you from con-
querors who would remove forever your rights OF
self government your rights to religious freedom,
and your rights to live your own lives in peace.
I'VE cc,ne among you solely to destroy your
enemies and not to harm you.
I'VE come among you with the assurance that
We will leave just as soon the menace of Ger
many anG Italy is removed from you.
II am appealing to your sense Of realism, SELF
interest and ideals. Do not obstruct this great
purpose.
Help us and the day Of world of peace
will be hastened."

L British declaration broadcast in French

ing the people of Metropolitan France to remain
calm but the alert:
Here is spokesman of the United States Gov
ernment and the British Government.
The landing of the American Expeditonary
Force in French North Africa is the first step
towards the liberation of France The object of the
present operation is to destroy the German and
Italian forces in North Africa.
Our forces arrive in French North Africa as
friends. The day when the German and Italian
threat shall no longer weigh French territories,
they will leave. The sovereignty of France on
French territories remains unaffected.
We enter today into the offensive phase of the
War OF Liberation. This is the beginning.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, commander-in-
chief of the American Expeditonary Force is ap
pealing for the active cooperation of the French
in North Africa. Nevertheless, the moment has
not yet come to appeal to the French nation

population in France itself Il repeat in France
itselD to remain on the alert Il repeat, to remain
on the alert
The hour of national uprising has not sounded.
We have already promised you that We will warn

plete order" the Berlin radio said

The British 9th Army, it was re-

sist from any large-scale initiative
because of the defensive moves of
Marshal Erwin Rommel."
The Axis air forces, it was stated,
carried out effective raids on British
supply columns on the coastal road
between Fuka and Ell Alamein.
In authoritative quarters British
reports that large quantities of Ger
man materials had been seized were
pronounced nonsense" Such ma

Oran, $50 miles east of Gibraltar
and 800 miles by air from Musso-
lini's chief Libyan base, Tripoli was
one of the natural points for the
start of an all-African British
American offensive ~
The port at Mers- -El-Kebir, 3
miles across the harbor, is one of
the best in Algeria though the har-
Dor itself is not especially good. The
French had some facilities for the
care of their fleet there.
The French railway connecting
Casablanca on the Atlantic Coast
with Tunisia is only few miles
from Oran. which is connected with
the line. Oran is also the starting
point of the trans-Sudan railway
to Dakar, now under construction.
The town is about 200 miles from
Algiers, the capital of Algeria and
about 600 miles from Tunis.
1t is beyond effective range of
Axis torpedo and dive bombers
based on Sardinia and Sicily which
have made British convoy operations
down the Mediterranean bomb
alley" so costly. 1t is about 600
miles from Sardinia and over TOO
miles from Sicily.
Early in the war Oran was the
scene Of the tragic naval fight be-
tween the British and their defeated
French allies, up to that time the
biggest naval action of the Euro
pean conflict. One French battle
ship was sunk, and three others
were damaged or crippled when the
British opened fire July 3, 1910, be-
cause the French commander reject
&c an ultimatum to join in the war
against Germany or accept intern
ment.
A city of about 200 900 population,
Oran has been a famous fortified
city since the Spaniards took it in
1909. The French occupied the city
in 1881, when they acted against
the Barbary pirates.

Algeria and France
Linked by Strong
Ties Before War
Colony Participated on
Bosis Of Equality in
Government Of Empire
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Algeria, which becomes involved in
military operations in Africa, is more
than a colony of France. 1t is in
some respects part OF France itself,
and invasion conceivably could be
construed by the Vichy government
as direct attack on France.
Before the collapse of France,
Algeria sent nine deputies to the
parliament at Paris, and its three
departments were represented by
senator's. So it participated on
basis of equality with all French
men in the government Of the en-
pire.
But its autonomy was not COM
plete. Its governor general Is ap-
pointed by the minister of interior
Its own assemblies enacted laws and
dictated financial policies which
were, however, subject to certain
regulation by France. France paid
naval and military expenses, but
Algeria made direct contributions to
the general French defense funds.
Politically 1t is, consequently, some
thing more than colony, something
less than an essential part Of France.
1t has 4 population Of about
1000 600, its citizens being mixture
Of many peoples, notably Berber
and Arab.
Algerians live on the land. Less
than 6 per cent Of the population
Is congregated in cities.
The capital and chief seaport, AL
giers, has spacious and well-forti-
fled harbor. The lower part Of the
city is modern, resembling Euro
pean community in most respects.
But the upper part is q Moorish
stronghold where citizens live much
as they did during the reign Of the
Turks.
The citadel, now used as Z BAR
racks for French soldiers, dates
back to 1916. The community is
thought to have been founded in
the Tenth century, and It has been
under French rule since 1880. It's
population d about 2S0, 900.

Azores, Canaries
And Madeira Islands
Now in Path Of War
Isles May Not Be Dragged
Into Fight, but Allies Will
Keep Axis Out Of Them
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The opening of new front in
West Africa today cast the shadows
of war over several hitherto peaceful
groups of islands which stand like
sentinels along the Allied supply
lines across the Atlantic.
Chief among these are the Azores
and Madeira, owned by Portugal and
the Canaries, owned by Spain-all
of them suddenly of great strategic
value to any bellgerent power which
might establish naval and air bases
on them.
Whether they will be dragged into
the war remains to be seen, but GER
tainly that danger now has arisen.
It NAV be assumed that the allied
high command has included these
islands in its plans and IS ready
to see that they do not fal INTO
enemy hands.
The Azores. most western OF these
islands, are we'll guarded by strong
Portuguese Army and probably could
hold out against an Axis invasion
attempt, at least until Allied help
could arrive.
The Canaries and Madeira, how
ever. are not so strongly guarded.
And they are much closer to the
new Allied bases. Both these fac
tors increase the possibilities OF an
Axis attempt to seize them and at
the same time make it necessary Tor
the Allies to guard against such an
attempt.
It also must be remembered that
the Canaries, only 60 miles from the
African coast, are controlled by
Spain's Fascist dictator, Generals
simo Francisco Franco, an avowed
friend of the Axis, who might at any
time decide to become an active
collaboration.
Only recently the Soviet news
agency Tass reported the Canaries
were being used as Axis submarine
bases, but this was vigorously denied
by the Spanish Foreign Ministry.
The possibility that the Axis
might attempt to occupy some OF
these islands, or that the Allies
might occupy them to forestall such
an attempt, raises broader ques-
ton: Would Portugal and Spain
enter the war as result?
Portugal Didn't Fight.
In the case of Portugal, similar
problem has already arisen once In
the war and the answer was No
That was early this year when the
British occupied Portuguese Timor,
Northwest of Australia, and later
when the Japanese took possession
of Timor. At that time the Portu-
guese government limited its action
| to protests.
Observers who have been in Spain
recently say that Franco is not in
q position to offer much military
aid because of political unrest and
economic conditions which make
large scale mobilization unfeasible.
But it is possible he might permit
German troops to move across
Spain. to attack Gibraltar.
The Germans might force him to
give at least this much aid In pay
ment for the Axis help which
brought the Fascist regime into
power.
