De Gaulle le Trying pe
By HENRY J. TAYLOR, Scripps-Howard Special Writer PARIS, March 22—The dilemma over Gen. de Gaulle remains as : did in Nerth Africa—nobody knows how to get along with him and Red Bross. "Workers Ready nobody seems to know how to do without him.
Anglo-American policy here is
Japs But the fact remains, de Gaulle, is trying the patience of the Anglo-| American authorities in a way needless if. not stupid that it es you feel sorry for the hard-pressed people of France. The mystery is: Why has de Gaulle failed to change his attitude since obtaining power? Orginally in England and in North Africa he|
had his own political fences to bud}
inside France. He was acutely aware of the ool limitations to his future acceptance by Frenchmen when France would be liberated. FIRST~—The emotional discount at which the millions trapped here placed on anyone not suffering with them in the. French homeland TWO-The unfair charge that he sat as a puppet of Great Britain. German propaganda inside France emphasized these two_obstacles against him. That was the reason given for De Gaulle's performing as thanklessly as he di toward Britain and America from time to time during that long period. Further, we did not help matters by our “on again, off again” policy toward him. He might have done much for Anglo-American unity with the French if we had given him full-hearted support. In any se there was far less bloodshed ‘and disturbance among the factions of Frenchmen during liberation than was anticipated. - Hasn't Changed Now, however, De Gaulle no longer needs to make straw men of Britain and the United States as he continues to do. This failure to change his attitude is at the bottom of his present traubles, { His recent refusal to meet President Roosevelt at Algiers is only one example, That threw an unnecessary monkey wrench in a dozen negotiations being conducted for the welfare of the people of] France, including a $140,000,000 | American ship deal which fell through and some internal trans- | port matters, virtually needed to | revive food distribution for civilians. | Here are what seem to be the
