A Kvents were, now moving tar too sure that we we may rapidly for de Gaulle's military to make itself felt. He General. While all Europe was still discussing the Hitler coup, de Gaulle published in 1934 hifl very remarkable book, "The Army of the Future," now so much spoken of as the military doctrine which might have saved France in 1940. It advocated the creation ot a mechanised corps only 100,000 men with special privileges.

Few have troubled to study this book, even though, it has been publicly suggested that it envisaged the creation of a small nro- CHARLES ANDRE JOSEPH MARIE DE GAULLE was born in the provincial town of Lille fifty-three years ago. His father was a soldier of strong religious beliefs. When a law was passed, in the early years of this century making it illegal for Jesuit priests to teach in French colleges, de Gaulle pere became the first lay prefect of studies at the Jesuit College in the Rue de Vaugirard in Paris. Charles was educated at thp forward an able memorandum in January, 1940, and who was doing very well in command, of the 4th Armoured Division, being promoted to General. At this time his main Interest was still in military matters and command in the field.

Churchill by the ardently franco fef phile conservative majui-General E. L. Spears. De Gaulle was still almost unknown in Lon (Extract from the Prim Minister's speech at Hit Guildhall, July, 1943.) don. He had a good military repu tation, but nothing was known oi his political views, other than that hf hplieverl nassionatelv in France.

The lack of any leading French civilian and the real 'desire of Mr. Churchill to encourage the French cal, ses. Soon after this publication de Gaulle gave a series of lectures in the Sor-bonne at the invitation of the students of the fascist Action Francaise" party. There is no question that de Gaulle understood modern war as Guderian and the German General Staff understood i and that his military perspicacity is great. His advocacy of mechanised striking forces was hampered in France by his linking it with the demand for a professional standing army.

This was in con-tradic tion to people to resist orougnt tne iuu nnwer of the Foreian Office, the Treasury and of the B.B.C. behind Jesuit school in the Rue des Postes which prepared boys intending to become army officers. At the famous military college of St. Cyr. he belonged to the small category of Jesuit-trained cadets known as Postards." On leaving St.

Cyr in 1912, his request to join the 33rd Infantry Regiment was granted. He had selected thts regiment, his biographer, Philippe Barres, informs us, out of admiration for its colonel, Philippe Petain. The future was to bring these two men close together before their ways diverged. De Gaulle fought most gallantly as a junior officer in the last war. He was wounded three times; on the last occasion he was taken prisoner.

He made several attempts to escape from the prison camp, after which he was transferred to a special fortress with other Allied officers who had done likewise. Here he made the acquaintance of a young and ambitious Russian officer Tukhachevsky. Later, in 1921, they were on opposite sides when de Gaulle served under Weygand against the Bolsheviks in Poland. After this, the great Petain began to take a friendly interest in him. It was Petain who had The sword must be backed up by Savings Savings that help the attack Savings that lend support to the momentum of war -Savings that fight side by side with out men.

The United States Petroleum Administrator has already said it is unthinkable that America should ever again depend on foreign sources of supply that the sword is the axis of the world, and greatness cannot be shared." De Gaulle later repeated his modern politico-military theses in a second book, La France et son Armee' affectionately dedicated to Petain, who had beoome godfather to the son de Gaulle named Philippe in honour of the Marshal.

Shortly before the present war Colonel de Gaulle found in Rey-naud a tentative listener to his military doctrines, which had meanwhile been considerably adapted to the needs of the coming war. Reynaud put them before the Chamber of Deputies, which rejected them. When Reynaud, the pqcket Strong Man," replaced Dala-dier as Premier in March, 1940, he hastily formed a new Government in his attempt to check the full flood of German power. He remembered the energetic Colonel de Gaulle, who had again put speaking to more than one person his mind and temper are equally unusual. He has a mobile and inventive intellect, with a tendency towards the dramatic and the picturesque: a strong will and a dominating temperament.

While his private manner is aloof, even cold, and speech deliberate, there is an emotional power in him which can be communicated to the many. With little humour, much love of discipline, a passion for all to do with war, and a fervent nationalist ardour, he has always been a man with few personal friends but with a certain following. The year of Hitler's impressive rise to power, 1933, saw de Gaulle once more close to Petain. The Marshal was President of the Con-seil Superieur de la Guerre; de Gaulle had become its Secretarv- coma De cut ott overnigm.

Some time ago Mr. Wallace urged American motorists to resist POR the past week or two the Stock Exchange has been busy adjusting the prices of recovery equities to the possibility of a shorter war in Europe than had previously been taken into account. Since a bear point for Berlin can hardly be a bull point for Tokyo, the chances are that this process will spread in due course to the Pacific such as Jap-bonds and Malayan rubber shares.

Now a case can undoubtedly be made for rubber shares. It rests in the short run on the fact that a war ending before late 1944 would release demands for rubber far in excess of immediate supplies. In the long run, it rests on the reasonable hope that the introduction of motor transport to areas such as China will open up important new markets for the commodity. But it is unfortunate that the small denomination shares in this section tend to entice the hopeful amateur into what is more than ever a field for the discriminating professional. A Gamble Choice of a rubber share these days demands careful attention to such factors as net liouid assets.

Dwarf French and runner beans require frequent picking or they will grow tough and stringy. If they are tough and resistant to bending they have been left on- the plant too long.

If there are more than you can eat now, remember that they can be easily salted down for winter use. Regular pulling of runner beans helps to make a longer season of fruiting. For sowing your own seed of beans, reserve one or two good plants at the end of a row; don't puu any of the beans for kitchen use, or you will weaken the plant. A good seed can only come from a good plant; so select carefully. Full and use early beet now.

But a reduction to the 10-15 cent, range seems quite feasible, and there has even been talk of 6 cents. If such estimates are realised, holders of rubber shares would have much to gain from the projected world cartel, stated to be under serious consideration in Washington, which would allot quotas between producers both of natural and synthetic on the lines of the pre-war restriction scheme.

For the world at large the imoortant thing is that this device should be used properly. Aoid Test For me, America's policy towards rubber will be the acid test of American commercial policy in general. It has to be remembered that the commodity has a special significance for us as well as for the United States. The economic life of Malaya is largely dependent on rubber; some 200 millions of British money have been invested in the industry; and rubber exports to the United States brought in as many dollars for the sterling area as all United Kingdom manufacturers put together. In the case of rubber, in other words, it is especially difficult to reconcile the pursuit of self-suf-flciencv with the desire for an ex JOES the voice of the Axis still exist? When we recall those pronouncements that the strength of the Axis was the Italo-German identity of political pnd spiritual ideologies and its common cause the struggle of young nations against the powers of an antiquated reactionary political system, the Axis as a joint propaganda force would certainly seem to be extinct.

Dr. Goebbels refused to make any comment on the background and political implications of Mussolini's departure. He may have been so taken aback by events that he could find no words to soothe the German people. But, as often before, he explained that his silence was intentional and was a political move to confuse Germany's enemies. Rome's New Age Italian propaganda, with almost admirable ease, managed to burn the old gods of Fascism and to switch over tn what is claimed to be the new age of liberty and liberalism.

The same speakers who used to hold forth so loudly on the efficiency, perfection, and nobility of Fascism lost no time in condemning its inefficiency, corruption, and moral depravity. They promise "after the dark past of twenty years of servility 11 a new era of liberty, freedom of thought and discussion, democratic Government. In short, "a return to "Italy has thetic was perhaps 25,000 tons. For the vear as a whole, it is expected to exceed 250,000 tons, while for 1944 we have been promised an out-nut of 850.000 tons. To put this in perspective it may be compared with pre-war world stopped completely speaking of the Axis and Italy's faithful Ally, Germany.

Badoglio has continued political warfare on the same Machiavellian lines as Mussolini. His principal slogan. the war goes on was twisted sometimes defiantly to mean that the war goes on because the Allies, disregarding the fall of Fascism, their declared war aim, now show that their real aim is the subjugation of the Italian people; sometimes conciliatorily that the war goes on until the Allies realise that Fascism has really been abolished and their aim is achieved. Threat of Bolshevism The Axis voice was also harmonious in practising some scales to which they have often turned when things were going wrong.
