Free France Marches with Britain.
NEW MERCHANT NAVY
The Free French movement now has its own merchant navy. The Marine Marchande Francaise Libre, which has now reached a quarter of the total tonnage of the French merchant navy before the Potain armistice, last June, contributes to n significant extent to the Allied war effort.
Particularly valuable work has been performed by this service in the transporting of supplies to Britain and in carry- ing troops and material to Egypt and other regions in the Middle East.
The growth of the Free French merchant navy is 'beat ex- plained by these few facts. In July, 1940, all French merchant ships in Great Britain and the Dominions were immobilised and disarmed. In September, 200,000 tons had already again put to sea. In December, the gross tonnogo reached 400,000 tons, while other ships were in the process of being refitted and rearmed for service.
Worldwide Recruiting
:
At the end of December, 160,000 tons were manned exclu- sively by French crews, the rest being manned by French or English crews combined. Recruits are now coming. from all' parts of the world to assist in the operation of the Free French merchant navy. The greater number join their ships in Eng- land, but there are others who embark in such distant places a8 India, Singapore, Egypt, Palestine, Franch Equatorial Africa, Australia, New Caledonia, Bermuda and Trinidad.
The British Ministry of Shipping is doing all it can to help the Free French merchant navy and is providing for French sailors in the case of sickness or injury, as well as.pen- sions for widows and orphans. To assure complete co-opera-: tion, the Free French merchant navy's staff have their offices at the Ministry of Shipping.
