What Can You Do With DeGaulle?
Controversial Figure Analysed

First Gender al Most Controve sioI cuss Of the War

Gus. Since the liberation of
North Africa, his administration
has been able to build up GER
tain stockpiles of locally-pro-
duced cereals and oils. Instead
of throwing these stockpileS in
to the common military hopper
with British and American sup
plies, however, the French sup
plies are being held back, pre-
sumably as relief to be admin
istered politically by his own
officials.
Bulk of both military and CT
william relief supplies for France
has, of course, come from the
United States, including some
1922, 100000 worth of lend-lease
supplies for North Africa. Even
the arms struggled into the
French underground by the
British have been American
made. But there has been no
thanks from de Gaulle since
lend-lease was first opened to
his forces in July 1912.
Whatever the French Com
mittee has bought and paid for
out of its own revenues and SUCH
French Republic funds as it
could lay hands on, has gone for
civilian supplies. All military
supplies for the French Army
have been charged up against
British and American govern
ments as a cost of the war, and
have been furnished free to the
French.
OBSTREPEROUS
On the question of providing
currency for the invasion fore
es de Gaulle baked at the use of
francs backed by Great Britain
in the United States. What he
wanted was to have the cur
rency issued in the name of his
provisional government and dis
tributed only by his men.
The climax of his obstreper-
BUSINESS came just before the in
vasion when, standing safely on
the shores of England, he blast
ed three times at General Eisen-
hover. First against the terms
of Eisenhower's proclamation to
the French people. Second
against Eisenhower's arrange
ments for civil and military
government in liberated French
areas. Third by refusing to al
low more than 20 officers of his
army to act as liaison between
the Allied armies and the
French people and by instruct
ing those hand-picked officers
to work against the Allied mill
tary government.
What can you do with a man
like that? A good bet would be
that six months after all of
France is liberated, the French
people themselves will have
torn him to shreds.

WASHIN G. T ON - French
General Charles de Gaulle's &C
ceptance of President Roose-
velt's invitation TO come TO
Washington is now giving the
Unied States a first hand gand-
er at the most controversial cusS
of the entire war.
People who have any ideas at
all on this character come only
two WayS-they are either vio-
lently for him or just as violent
ly against him. The people who
are for him-the SentimentallSt
lovers of anything French and
the critics of anything done by
the U. S. Department of State
have made the most noise. Thus
the good in General de Gaulle
has received the most publicity,
which is probably as 1t should
be. The line is that de Gaulle is
the embodiment of all French
virtues, the leader Of the Fight
ing French, the one man who
has emerged from the fall Of
France. AS such it is asked by
his partiSanS and emotional
sympathizers why the United
States has not given him full

LONDON, July THE re-
atty of Frances hunger, poverty
and disease is beginning to live
up to the advance notices, now
that the Allied Armies are leav-
ing behind them the rich Nor
mandy countryside and enter
ing their first big towns. The
picture will grow increasingly
more grim as the armies prog
ress and will provide the an

ing mems minds that perhaps

BEST CUISINE
Since D-Day Furthermore, re-
QUESTIONS ceased and disrupted
communications stopped t h e
sending of food parcels. But
cows have gone on producing
milk, hens laying eggs and the
Allied bombardment of Deliv-
rande alone killed hundreds Of
heads of cattle. So the stories of
troops feeding on the fat of the
land are true. Add to that the
fact that a FrenchWoman has
the knack of making a delicious
dish out of bone and a hand
full of vegetables, that this is the
season when asparagus, arti-
chokes, crisp salads and luscious
strawberries are at their best,
and you have the elements of
the best French cuisine. Give a
French housewife Army rations
and she will manage to turn
them into a Succulent meal.
The richness of Normandy
helped make life extremely
comfortable for the Germans
entrenched in their forts in that
section of the Atlantic Wall.
Some were comparable to super
hotels, air-conditioned, wi h
electric lighting and all the do
nestle amenities associated with
a Hollywood interior. In one Of
them large room was found
with parcels in process of being
dispatched by German enlisted
men to their families back
home, containing three pounds
of sweet butter, a fat Camenbert
cheese, cosmetics and trinkets.
American troops will soon
find, however that outside this
rich agricultural belt the French
have not been living on the fat
of the land, especially the poorer
people who could never have
paid black market prices. Wages
for unskilled labor we're as low
as 10 dollars week and while
people employed in skilled
trades and armament factories
were paid three times more,
even they could not buy butter
at six dollars pound, cheese at
eight and meat at 10 dollars a
pound. Instead, the poor had to
depend on an often deficient ra-
tlonlng system Bread, the ma
tional- stable food, was made
mainly of bran. Small food shops
in towns like Bayeux had signs
indicating that ratiOned foods
like cheese, butter and sugar
were unobtainable. Yet folks in
these parts told how the Ger
mans used butter to grease their
boots.
AS the Allies advance the
scene will change vastly. In
stead of lush pasture land and
orchards of cherry, plum and
apple trees grooming under the
weight of fruit, smiling villages
and neat towns, they will find
mean streets and novels, espe-
clally in the industrial zones.
Here the children have patheti-
cally spindly legs and arms,
young women are prematurely
aged, and during the past four
years everyone has just barely
managed to keep body and soul
together. AS the Yanks have
moved farther on, their welcome
VIII assuredly be warmer than
that of the Normandy peasants
who probably resented the de-
structlon brought by war.

that still does not make him
easier to deal with. His pre-
sumption is colossal and appar-
emily growing.
He began his career as head
of Fighting French military re-
siStance modestly enough. The
British had their troubles with
him before the United States
was forced into the war, but the
British were apparently deter
mined that even if de Gaulle
were a bad boy, he would be
their bad boy and they'd make
the best of him, willy nilly. {;
Even after North Africa was
liberated de Gaulle was not too
tough. He came to Casablanca
in January, 1943, met Giraud
and greed to get along with
him. Six months later, when the
French Committee of National
Liberation was established in
AlgierS, de Gaulle declared that
the movement was political
and would end when FRANCE
was free.
From those positions, jump
six months TO New Year. Day,
1914, when de Gaufie held a
reception in Algiers as head Of
state, and six months further to
the recent action of the French
Committee of National Liberia
ton abolishing itself and chang
ing its name to Provisional
Government of the French Re-
public.
CAN'T CONTROL HIM
r. Politics and power have been
his complete ruination.
DeGaulle's ditching of Gen.
eral Giraud was not protested
by either the British or Ameri-
can governments, but it is con-
sidered typical Of his inability
to get along with anyone he
cannot dominate. The British
have had little success in trying
TO control him, but they 60 on
being nice to him, apparently
with the hope that after the
wars over de ,Gaulle will be in
clined to be friendly.

PSYCHOLOGICALLY SICK

The other side of the de-
Gaulle character is best por-
trayed by his own actions,
which reveal him as one of the
worlds most difficult people.
He is explained as persona
fication of psychologically sick
France. Defeated, overrun by
the Germans for four years,
governed by Nazi collaboration
lists at home, undernourished,
fighting underground, it is
small wonder that the average
Frenchman today possesses a
terrible inferiority complex and
behaves accordingly. If General
de Gaulle typifies that spirit he
can perhaps be pardoned, but
