It is not strange that Hitler, Goch- bela and Goering should attract to their side men of the calibre of Laval, Darlan and Quláling, not one of whom in normal times would be
accepted by the respectable people of the respective countries, but it is surprising that the people should not protest against such a betrayal of trust.
If Syrin is to be handed over to the Germans as a base for opera- tions in Iraq, it is clear that the army in Palestine must invade the French mandated territory. If Syria, then Morocco and Tunisia also become involved as well as French Somali- land, which would immediately fall to the Allied forces in East Africn.
