French African Problem

An Associated Press writer emphasizes that notwithstanding the meeting of French leaders at the Churchill-Roosevelt conference in French Africa, the situation there is still fraught with (laugei- by retison of lack of unity. North Africa, he points out, is not France. It is s. colonial srea with few of France's ideals of freedom and liberty for all men. West Africa, Tunisia, Mor- occo and Algeria have always been separate political units administered independently from the mother country. Many of the administra- tors in these areas date back before Vichy. Gen- eral Auguste Nogues. commander in French Morocco and one of the most severely criticized as s pro-Vichyiie, has been in office since I938. Some North African office holders have been pro-German. others pro-Vicliy, and still others neither but who hated the Germans and re- tained office under the Vichy regime only to sabotage the Nazi efforts. Still others have bet-n pro-Vichy but anti-German. To sweep out of office all but DeGaiillists, might result in a viriuzil collapse of essential services in North Africa with a consequent disrupting of the military campaign.

The difficulty of the situation has been re- colgtiizctl by America and Britain, and may have had much tn do with the selection of French Africa a: the scene of the conference at which lmitr of nciioil m1 the part of all free French filrccs was <ir<mgly emphasized.

McGill has turned down 66 students who have failed to make the grade and turned their names over to the National Selective Service. The Senate passed the following resolutions: "In view of the request of the Director of Na- Selective Service that each University should ‘ruthlessly weed oitt the incompetent and mediocre students,’ it is hereby resolved. That this University will send to the National Registrar the names of all male students who on the basis of tests and other written examina- tions do not have a reasonable expectancy of satisfactorily completing their academic year
