who pointed out DeGaulle was
only brigadier general and a
tank expert.
Sternly obdurate, at heart a
Calvinist, he refused to compro-
mise in anything. But as he has
lost prestige with British and
American leaders, he has, if any
thing, increased prestige with the
French people. They regard him
as their real military saviour.
So Churchill and Roosevelt can
not remove the Saviour of
France Besides, as Charles Da-
villa, head of the exiled Rumanian
government, remarks:
"They say DeGaulle is diff
ficult! OF course he is! So are
all men of principle"
NOTE: Already some of these
same problems are being faced in
regard to a new leader for Italy.
WALLACE-JONES
The Wallace-Jones dispute is
now water over the dam. Wash
ington reaction is universally fav-
orable to the banning of pickering
Perhaps this is the first lesson
learned here from French politi-
cal conflict now symbolized in
the DeGaulle- Giraud row. But
here is one reaction which may
hurt. Every responsible official
in Washington knows that Jones
had quarreled not merely with
Wallace but with many others.
First he rowed with Ed Stet-
tinius and the National Defense
Council Oh the very same prob
lem Of delaying the purchase Of
strategic materials.
Then he rowed with the State
Department. Cordell Hull agrees
with Jesse on most things, but
Hull and his men were vigorously
opposed to him regarding delays
in acquiring materials. Finally,
Jones roWed with Ickes.
When one lone cabinet membe
has so many rows with so many
cabinet colleagues, the chances are
that the one man, mott he group
is wrong. The tohers in this case
were trying to push the war;
Jesse was playing it safe and
watching his balance sheet Now
with Wallace penalized for push
ing the war, one result will be
to encourage the natural tendency
of all bureaucrast to play it safe.

American British opinion al
ready is almost divided over De-
Gaulle and Giraud as in France.
If we are not careful the "ame dis
sension may occur over different
political factions in Italy.
To get the full benefit of cur
rent French lessons it is necessary
to go back to the days shortly
after the Fall of France when the
Allies needed at least one French
leader around whom to urge the
freeing of France. General De-
Gaulle, relatively low ranking Of
ficer who had distinguished him
self as tank expert, was the only
man available.
He was not the best choice, but
there was no other. So he was
built up as symbol of Free
France. Very soon he turned out
to be temperamental, sometimes
conceiter, always strong-willed
symbol. Among other things, he
wrote a letter to the British and
American governments comparing
Allied strategy to drum and say
ing: "No one man is beating the
drum. But a host of beetles
are bouncing up and down on it,
and they think they are beating
it," cat the time a lot of peo-
pie Thought he was right.
CROSS OF LORRAINE
Then, in the summer of 1912,
Churchill and DeGaulle had a
stormy session in Egypt over
Syria. DeGaulle criticized Bril-
fish military leadership and Of
fered to take over the entire COM
mand in North Africa. AfterWard
Churchill, referring to the cross on
the Free French flag told friends:
"The Cross of Lorraine is the
hardest one 1 have to- bear"
Returning to London, Churchill
wired DeGaulle to come to London
to discuss Madagascar. Nothing
happened. Then Foreign Min
lister Eden telegraphed. Finally
DeGaulle wired that he would
come to London at his own con-
venience, that he was going to
Central Africa first, and would
discuss Madagascar when he re-
turned.
Up to this point, the British
alone had to bear the Cross of
Lorraine. But when Presidnet

REVOLUTION IN LITTLE
(TeW York Tines

The tiny revolution that has
taken place in the French island of
Martinique is not to be sneezed at
Martinique, like the little cluster
called Guaraloupe, is part of the
island chain which protects the
Caribbean. So long as Admiral
Robert held sway there these points
were unsable by our enemies, fur
lively If not openly. Now Henri
Etienne Hoppenot, acting for the
French Committee of National Lii
beration, has abrogated Roberts
DEGREES and restored the republican
form of governmnt. Washington has
not yet given the Committee is bless
ings, but it has accepted two facts:
first, that M. Hoppenot is vast i'm
provement over Admiral Robert;
second, that there is no agency ex-
cept the Committee which can speak
just now for the French people.
The details of the admiraps down.

Roosevelt went to Casablanca
he soon sOured on DeGaulle
even more than Churchill had.
At their meeting, DeGaulle as
sumed a stlrf-necked, naughty
attitude, described himself as
combination of Joan dare and
Clemenceau.
The President has criticized De
Gaulle and has been mimicking
him to friends ever since.
But, for the French people, De-
Gaulle remained a great symbol.
He was the one man who had
stood out and urged that the
people fight for France. This was
the propaganda the British them
selves spread; this was the SYM
Dol they had built.
They had built even better than
they realized. So, because he
meant much to the people of
France, because he was a SYM
Dol also to other exile govern
ments, he continued to get British
support, despite the opposition of
the U. S. Department and the cri-
ticism of FDR.
CHURCHILL GOT MAD
But last June, the straw almost
snapped when Churchill went to
North Africa. There he had an
other bitter argument with De-
Gaulle. Even Foreign Minister
Eden came to North Africa at
Churchill's suggestion to fire De-
Gaulle. Eden, however, would
not agree. He said that De-
Gaulle was too important a SYM
Dol, meant too much to the peo-
pie of France. The British could
not tear down what they had built
up.
So Churchill and Eden split.
Churchill, returning to London,
called a press conference, gave
out a scatching bill of particu-
lars against the Free French
leader. He said he was tired of
polemics and was going to give
the facts. Whereupon, he called
De Gaulle a latent fascist, chief
ly ambitious for himself; said
he had stirred up the French
and the Arabs in Syria against
the British; said he favored
Franco-Russina cooperation for
the future control of Europe.
Since then, the situation has be-
come worse. DeGaulle med

ed to take over command. This

commanders, sticklers for rank,

Earl Daniels in The Christian Science Monitor)
At the roadside, in the tall grass
Firefies were low
Last night, as if the quiet dark
Hung too heavy for their wings;
A sweet dry country odor
Drifted over fields with shadows
Sweetness only moving dried
BY sun, in August, brings.
This mornings world is dripping
On the mown field, mist lies
Fray mist, that's heavier
Than dark for any wing;
Burdened roadside grasses bend.
Earth smells ripe for plowshares.

Had turned its face to spring
