Giroud Amnesty Held Move
To Merge Many Elements

ALGIERS. Jan. 2 P).-Gen.
Henri Giraud's New Years Day re-
lease Of an unSpecif1ed number of
political prisoners was generally
construed today as the forerunner
of an effort to unity the many di-
verse political elements of France
behind the Allied war effort.
Although official quarters were
silent, reliable sources reported
steps already we're under way to
make the French government in
North Africa representative of all
the elements backing the Allied
cause, possibly by bringing into
Gen. Girauds council well-known
French leaders of many political
and theological hues.
They said Gen. Glraud had paved
the way for unification by freeing
the prisoners on grounds of their
proved patriotism to France under
various circumstances. regardless OF
their individual political beliefs.
Gen. Glraud is trusted by most Sec
tors of French political opinion be-
cause they believe he told the simple
truth when he declared he was a
soldier, not a politician, and had
but one aim-the defeat of the AXIS.
Qualified sources here believe 1t is
only a question of time until work
ing agreement is reached between
Gen. Giraud's regime and Gen. de
GauIeS Fighting French, who hold
other portions of the French Afrl-
can empire.
Unofficial quarters disclosed that
u former Communist members OF
the French Chamber of Deputies,
held in custody since 1889 because
they opposed French participation
in the war, already had been freed.
AT the same time, progress is being
made in sorting out and determin-
ing the disposition of many thou
sands of refugees who f1ocked into
North Africa as a result of the Nazl
conquest of much of Europe.
There are many hundreds of men
women and children literally with
out country until Hitlers hold on
their homelands is broken.
SO far. proposals to transplant
some of these refugees to countries
of the Western Hemisphere have
yielded no tangible results. Conse-
quently majority Of those held In
concentration camps as long as
French Africa was under the heel OF
the German-Italian Armistic Com
mission are likely to remain here un-
til the wars end.

LONDON, Jan. "A demand
from the Fighting French of Gen.
De Gaulle for elimination of the
"holdovers from the Vichy re-
gime" in North Africa has posed
a new obstacle to speedy union of
all anti-Axis Frenchmen into a
single, cohesive force seeking the
liberation of France.
A spokesman for the Fighting
French said today that negotiations
for unification are under way, and
Il am optimistic, but don't expect
an easy or rapid solution
While Gen. Giraud Gen. Henri
Glraud, French high commissioner

"A number Who have done we'll

North Africa, this spokesman said
Although he did not name them, he
said they are the ones who preached
collaboration and prosecuted fellow
Frenchmen.
A return to the constitution of
the republican regime in France
must be the basis for the united
fight and Gen. De Gaulle has taken
the initiative In trying to get the
various factions together, he con-
tlnued. The state of affairs
rather than personalities involved
must be changed to bring about the
return of the republic of France,
the spokesman asserted.
Meanwhile. Gen. Giraud ordered
the New Year Day liberation of "a
certain number of persons detained
because of certain political tenden-
cies." The liberations we're with

interests, but inspired solely by their
