ing recognition to the French COM
mittee. That Is why Prime Minister
Churchill told Commons Wednesday
significantly that the invitation had
been extended with the approval of
President Roosevelt.
Reports from Algiers that de
Gaulle conditioned his acceptance
on American participation in the
conferences were accepted here as
logical, on the grounds he would
have little to gain in comforting with
the British alone. Thus the visit
may find Mr.. Churchill in the role
of conciliator between the general
and the American representative
whether he be President Roosevelt
or someone else.
And the possibility that the
American representative may be
the President himself cannot be
discounted. Strengthening this
speculation from Washington is the
fact that British Americana French
relations were among the chief con-
Germs of the American Undersecre-
tary of State, Edward r. Stettinius,
jr., when he was here recently.
Meeting Is Possible.
To this Is added the information
supplied by the President that he
might have another meeting with
Mr.. Churchill, although he did not
give a definite date. But the two
have a growing list of things Of in
creasing urgency to talk over, such
as the map of Europe after victory
and the postwar organization to
preserve the peace.

Accord With France
~ the Associated Press.


LONDON. May 27.-Hopes for
good relations after the war be-
tween France. and the United
States and Britain appeared today
to hinge on the Forthcoming visit
Of Gen. Charles de Gaulle to
London.
The present situation has con-
vinced many in London that 1t is
vital to reach an accord soon with
the French Committee of National
Liberation, not only for getting
along with the French people after
Germany's capitulation, but for
getting their full cooperation in
the invasion.
There has been no inclination
on the part of either British or
American officials to minimize the
dangers of unprotected arrange
ments for administering civilian
affairs behind the lines, and they
have emphasized repeatedly the
necessity of avoiding the blunders
of the Allied military government
In Sicily and Italy.
President Approved Invitation.
That is the reason Gen. de Gaulle
has been invited to London. 1t has
been known for some time that the
British have been willing to go fur
ther than the Americans in extend
