THE WORLD IN REVIEW


which, at present. lies COM
pletely helpless in the power OF
the invader.
CEN. DE GAULLE is I'M
VI doubtedly a gallant officer.
His courage in refusing TO accept
defeat, or to recognize the au-
thority of Marshal Petain and
the government of Nichy, won
him deserved repute. But as a
soldier he is an untried man.
and in spirit and actions he is a
politician.
Gen. Eisenhower sought and
secured the choice of Gen.
Giraud as commander of the
French army. and Giraud is a
soldier whose temper and quail
fications met the test of two
wars.
De Gaulle and his followers
forced the retirement of Giraud
from the supreme council. /
think this was well, for an army
commander has no place in
political body. Moreover. Giraud
as leader of a component of the
group of Allied armies. should
be responsible to the head of
that army group. He owes ODE
dience, under present circum-
stances, to Gen. Eisenhower end
not to the French committee.
II is trivial for the French
committee, or for De Gaulle
himself, to insist that they must
have the powers Of depart
ment of war or of secretary
of war, for they do not COM
mand the resources adequate to
sustain their part in the war.
A CCORDING to reports. this
"A committee has rejected
what Giraud asks from il,
namely. a statement of conf
dence. a free hand in the con-
duct of military operations, and
control over the appointment
and dismissal of the officers of
the new French army. Without
this independence it is an
nounced that Giraud will re-
sign.
The. Allied handling, which
failed 10 give Gen. Eisenhower
full authority. and to insist that
the French organization and ef-
fort be responsible to him. has
muddled the North African eff
fort for an entire year.
1t is the result of muddled
thinking at Washington and al
Westminster.
1t threatens to hurt the par
ticipation of France in her own
liberation. and TO deform the re-
building of the French state
when that country is regained
by its own people.

the better type of male atten-
ton. She has to have intelli-
gence, knowledge Of what Is

several other things.
A MONG the things in which
- there is room for improve

of these in the same block and

that he can get cigars, razor

cheaper but of better grade.
Right after the war, which
will be in 1916, prize fights will

Rep. Keefe of Wisconsin and
Rep. Anderson Of New Mexico,
members of the subcommittee,
and both Republicans, are now
considering what steps should
be taken.
Mr.. Keefe. seeing the House
confronted by a suit by the
three employees. believes the
House will have to defend that
suit.
But there is no precedent for
the employment OF counsel by
the House for such a purpose.
Ordinarily in such a case as
this the House would call upon
the department of justice to fur

House.
