Free French War Effort is Topic of Panel Discussion

Free France's vital position in the Allied war effort was outlined by three speakers at a meeting of Harvard's De Gaullist chapter last night, in the Winthrop Junior Common Room. The panel discussion, which was broadcast over the Crimson Network, emphasized the control that Free Frenchmen hold over important places such as Equatorial Africa, and the West Indian islands.

Andre Morize, professor of French literature, claimed that the forces of the French government in exile had grown from a handful of 10,000 men to an army of ever 100,000 in the past two years. Laurence B. Packard '09, visiting professor of History from Amherst College, explained the relation of the African theater of war to other Free French endeavors, while C. Crane Brinton '19, professor of History, sketched the background of French control in these areas.
