Giraud Supplements
Proposal for Joint
Governing Council
He and De GouIIe Would
Preside Alternately Over
Provisional Setup
By the Associated Press.

L
ALGIERS, May ia govern
ment for French North Africa anc
later for a liberated France, under
control of joint council of the fol-
lowers of Gen. Henri Giraud ano
Gen Charles de Gaulle, with the
rival French leaders presiding over
it alternately, has been proposed by
Gen. Giraud.
No immediate answer was forth
coming from Gen. de Gaulle, head
of the Fighting French National
Committee in London, who pre-
viously had suggested that he should
head the civil authority of a pro-
visional French government, leaving
to the French North African high
commissioner control of French
fighting forces.
Gen. Girauds offer, it was re-
vealed yesterday, was contained in
an appendix" to the reply he made
to Gen. de Gaulle's suggestion for a
provisional government now, an
idea which Gen. Giraud rejected on
the grounds that such move should
await the opportunity for all
Frenchmen to choose a government
by vote after Metropolitan France
has been freed.
Insists on Election.
Gen Giraud's insistence on the
necessity of an election to create a
provisional government was known
to have the support of the United
States State Department and Brit
ish Foreign Office quarters.
The body of the Giraud note was
made public in London April 20, and
London press reports since then
have only limited at the existence
of the proposals contained in the
appendix.
Gen. Giraud made it clear that
he proposed ultimate authority over
French territory should rest with
the council itself, to be composed
of members chosen jointly by Gen.
de Gaulle and himself.
A text of the proposal was made
public by the French Military Com
mission in Washington, which said
the personnel of the council and a
small Executive Committee would
be decided between Giraud and De
Gaulle," and that the Executive
Committee will meet periodically
and have responsibility for the gen.
eral direction of affairs"
The two generals shall preside
in turn over the meetings of the
committee and the council" and
their responsibilities are merged in
the collective responsibility of the
two bodies, the text said.
Gen. Giraud was emphatic in
stating that the arrangement would
not mean "duumvirate "a two
man rule of French Africa and later
of re-occupied France.
Gen. Giraud rejected Gen. de
Gaulles objections to having him.
as head of the military forces of
France, also a supreme adminiStra-
tor of civil affairs, saying the pres
ent exceptional circumstances JUS
tify and make necessary the par
ticipatlon in the council of the COM
mander in chief
The Washington text of Gen. Gil
raud's proposal said: Distinction
must be maintained between a
council having its origin in neces-
sity and provisional government
resulting from the laws of France.
The council will represent a ma
tional effort and will continue to
depend for the liberation of France
on American and British assistance"
