BERN, Jan, 1—The immediate appointment of Gen. Henri Giraud as Admiral Jean Darlan’s successor has caused distinct relief to all those on thig' troubled continent who feared that the Algiers assassination might hold up North African operations by aiding to the many cares and preoccupations of the allied kigh command there. Gen. Giraud’s first order of the day recalls Clemenceau’s famous “leit motiv”’ of the last war. “I make wai.” The new commissioner naturally lacks Clemernceau’s political ex-

perience and subtleties but French-

men at home and abroad seem thoroughly fed up with politicians. “A popular general who will make war” is what they both want and|S eed. Giraud’s incontestable military| genius, his heroic resistance at the head of the French 9th army during the 1940 campaign, are expected here to simplify the task of those working for the union of all of France's exiled leaders as an indispensable pre-condition to the country’s restoration. De Guallist circles, however, seem somewhat embarrassed by Darlan’s assassination and show no eagerness to welcome to their ranks any successor to the North African commissioner,

From fuller reactions to Darlan’s murder now reaching here, one fact emerges: It has not served to strengthen De Gaulle’s position either in France or abroad. From France today comes various reports of former officials in the Petain regime, who had intended to find their way to North Africa, now preferring to stay at home and watch developments. Many, it appears, were more wiiling to serve Darlan than De Gualle and the latter's obstinate refusai to receive repentant sinners and his expressed intention to confine the movement exclusively to those who never wavered in their “De Gaullist” convictions, have considerably dampened the enthusiasm of

U. S. AIDS CHINA WITH MATERIAL

Monetary Contributions and Arms Slight, Moral Backing Great.

By A. T. STEELE

CHUNGKING, Jan. 1.—The end of 1942 finds American help to

China still in its infancy, much smaller in scale than the, expectations of a year ago. On the material side our aid has been woefully little. In other fields our record is one of which we need not feel ashamed. When you add up the contributions that’ the United States has made to China in money, in technical assistance, in cultural co-op-eration and in the work of our small but effective ‘air force it comes to a fairly tidy figure.

Jap Pressure Relaxed

Of course the biggest thing that America has done for China has been refusing to sell her out to Japan. The relaxation of Japanese military pressure from our entry into the war and from the air protection given to Chinese cities has been an enormous help to these courageous people. The awful strain and dislocation of non-stop air bombardment. is

gone. Consequently despite the bitter pill of Burma's collapse, despite acute shortage of manufactured materials and despite serious economic woes the Chinese people are generally more cheerful and confident than a year ago.

Evacuees Return

Evacuees have returned to the cities. Families have been reunited. Business is no longer paralyzed during daylight hours. Day to day life is nearer normal. The financial assistance that generous-hearted Americans have given to the victimsr-of the: terrible famine in Honan province has won the undying gratitude of tens of thousands of Chinese. A sizable slice of the six-million-dollar fund raised by United China relief has gone to this purpose. A

U.S. IS BEST FIXED FOR WAR—STIMSON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1 (U. P.).— Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson in a New Year's resume, yesterday marked the country’s 2% -year transformation from a “great, helpless, peaceful nation” to one that is the “best-equipped for war’ the world has ever seen.” Stimson said that when he went into office in July, 1940, the United States had a regular army of only 265,000 men, including an air force of 50,000, with only 2175 pilots. “Today,” he continued, “we have an army of over 5,000,000, of which well over 1,000,000 constitute the air. force, including tens of thousands of pilots.” Stimson said that when he first took office the nation was so illprepared that it did not have enough gunpowder to supply for one day the men we now have overseas.
