(London Times) _

Two French hospital ships are now reported to be available to take back to France such of_ the wound- ed and convalescent in this country as choose to be repatriated. Though the utord "choose" has to be ent- ployed, it Ls certainly misleading if the deduction Ls made that. these men have quite a free choice. Apart from the terrible anxiety felt by many who have been WIIIIIOUI news of their fantllles for nearly four mottths, very many fear that re- pisals will be taken against Zhose families if they do not retum now and that. they tlteittsmlves will be treattsd as descrters or traitors if they return at. a remoter date. The highest type of patriotism is required to resist. this combination of itatural faintly feeling and of (‘II(‘llI_\‘-lIIS])ll'(‘fl blacknntil: and neither the British people nor the British government will cast iv- proaches at those who decide to re- turn now. The grant of facilities for their departure Ls the fulfilment in the letter and tn the spirit the prime mittlstcrls promise that those who wished to return should be allowed to do so. Pfffillmflbly even the Germans will not sink those hospital ships full of con- val-escents as they sank the trans- port which was repatrlattng some of the able-bodied.

But undoubtedly many do not tvish to return; and are still 1n the dark about the conditions in ivhiclt they can remain 1n this country. They know that they can join the Free French forces under General De Gaulle, an outline of the condi- tions of service ls contained in the agrcrmetit. between the general and , the British government. But thls| course Ls not always possible. Some 1 are disabled to an extent which would preclude further active ser- vloe. Others require further hospital or convalescent treatment before it. can be accurately decided for what they are flt. Others again, for a variety of reasons, would definitely prefer to assume British national- ity; and yet others are highly skill- ed technicians such as in this country would be reserved for war- time civilian occupations. Provision for some of these alternative cours- es has cetalnly been tn the tnind of the government. On July 4. referr- ing to a request from French sailors for British nationality, Mr. Churchill said: “This we are ready to grant, without prejudice to the other Frenchmen, tittmbrrcd by thousands, who prefer to fight. on
