In Leyant Affair

PARIS, June 2. CUP)-Gen. Char
les DeGaulle strongly attacked Brit
ish policy in the Near East Satur-
day and inferred that blame for
the crisis in the Levant lay in Lon
don.
DeGaulle said that France is will
ing to negotiate for the solution
of the crisis, but on a general basis
of questions concerning the Arab
world as a whole rather than basis
of international rivalries. He said
France regarded the matter as one
which could provide an opportunity
for the sort OF international cooper
alton sought at San Francisco.
DeGaulle, appearing at a press
conference in the uniform of full
general, charged that British inter-
vention in Syria and Lebanon was
in violation of the Anglo French
agreement signed in July, 1941,
which provided for French COM
mand of forces in the two states.
This treaty was in effect until
May 81 at 4.30 pm. when Prime
Minister ChurchilTs note was sent"
de Gaulle said.
This was the agreement made by
de Gaulle and the British at the
time the British with Free French
assistance ousted the VichyiteS from
Syria and Lebanon 1t included a
French pledge to negotiate with the
Syrians and Lebanese for establish
ment of their independence.
DeGaulle denied that any Ameri-
can lend-lease arms are being used
by the French in the Levant but
added 81 do not know whether any
other groups are using them
France had special interests and
a cultural affinity with the Arab
races. de Gaulle said, and has
played an eminent role in relations
with them.
Britain" he said, 'also has a
considerable commercial interest
and this is the role she has wanted
to play in the Arab world. After 1918
and the institution of the mandate
system the difficulties started.
