Roosevelt shows his confidence in Giraud

From Our Diplomatic Correspondent
The situation is evolving in Algiers with great difficulties.
Resignation has at length been forced on Boisson, following a violent attack on him on the Brazzaville Radio, which led to some doting in Dakar. It is recognised that Boisson as Governor never allowed a single German in French West Africa, and the forcing of his resignation by no means meets with general approval among the Allies.
On the other side, it has been revealed that General Eisenhower did ingist on the retention of General Giraud as the man who counts in the forging of a common Allied front, as was made clear to readers in this column.
President Roosevelt's invitation to General Giraud marks once again the fact that the responsible men on the spot 3414t in General Giraud the French leader best capable of taking charge at the present time.
Not only is this the result of General Giraud's great military experience, but it is due to fears of dissension and lack of discipline following the demagogy of the extreme Gaullists, for which the Fighting French leader may not be in any way responsible.
Exploiting popular feeling. based largely on pre-war conditions, is certainly not conducive to the unity and order needed on the eve of decisive battles. It is this that General Giraud is determined to stamp out.
