Dissolving of Imperial Coun-

cil Held Giraud Move to Favor De Gaullists. -

| Copyright, 1943, by The Indianapolis Times PIand The Chicago Daily News, Inc.

LONDON, Feb. 9.—High Commissioner Gen. Henri Giraud's reconstruction of the French North African administration and the departure of Gen. Georges Catroux (Syrian high commissioner) from

here for Algiers is regarded in Lon-

don as encouraging evidence that French unity may soon remove the barriers between Giraud’s forces and those of the fighting French under Gen. Charles de Gaulle. Gen. Giraud, in dissolving the imperial council which seemed to think it derived its authority;from Vichy, appears to have made a gesture toward union with the De [Gaullists. His war committee stili has vacant posts which London hopes can subsequently be filled either by De Gaullists or men acceptable to them. Giraud Gets Ready

The fighting French have beén organized for some time. Giraud is now putting his house in order thus permitting him to discuss co-ordina-tion more: easily. =. . The major posts on the war committee may be held -by some men whp are objectionablz to the De ullists but the ultimate powers est in the hands of Giraud—a chance from the former situation when his authority was definitely limited. : Catroux, who arrived in ‘Algiers Saturday left England in a decidedly friendly frame of mind and is prepared to use his full knowledge of African affairs, patience and tact—of which he has plenty—to bring about union between tne two groups. : He is a former colleague of Giraud’s’ in North Africa and there is the strongest bond between the two.

Algiers to bring back co-ordination, at the London end De Gaulle will have the wise counsel of Rene Massigli, skilled diplomat recently arrived froth France. The tendency among many of the fighting French to be impatient of developments in North Africa may thus be somewhat checked. ls
