Eliminating a Guess
EXPERTS, who are notoriously heart. Declarer, had to lose another
encelled, are curiously modest in one single department, that is, the department of guesses. Indeed, they have so little confidence in their own ability to guess the position of card, for example a queen, that they go to almost any length to avoid such a guess. Note the vast difference be- tween experts and average players in the handling of a situation such

ARCH-TRAITOR OF VICHY
Admiral Darlan
NTIL the clash in. Syria began, quite a few people-more perhaps across the Atlantic than in England were inclined
to give Vichy the benefit of the doubt. They took the view-more to the credit of their hearts than their heads-that prob- ably Darlan was stalling for time; that he was ac- cepting collaboration with Germany under duress; and that, in his own good time, he would turn upon the Nazis and bring France back into the fight for liberty that we are still waging for hor.
But, in fact, there wereTM plenty of signs that Dar- lan had definitely turned against us even before the fighting started in Syria. Apart from his uncomplaining acceptance of German tyranny and the bleeding white of her resources in foodstuffs and materials, there was ample evidence that he was prepared to go far beyond the bare minimum of collaboration that the Germans would force on him. The most savage measures of repression were taken in France and the Vichy colonies against anyone even faintly sus pect of a warm corner in his heart for General de Gaulle and the Free French.

com-
Surely only a man mitted to the most abject sur- render could find it in him to regard those who hold the spirit of national and elemen- tary patriotism deadly enemies.
Similarly, in his attitude to- wards the British he went far beyond what the Germans. could legitimately have ex- pected. Belleve me, full al- lowance was made for the fact. that France had been conquered by a country. which rightly regarded Great Britain, most dangerous enemy. It would have been no surprise to us, in view of this, if the Vichy Government.. had been cold but correct. But what we encountered was a bitter hostility which has grown' with every passing week and culminated in open fighting between the British and the French
па her.
The explanation of Darlan's' attitude is pretty clear. In the first place Darlan is a
sailor, and not a few French sailors though by no means all, of course--have been brought up almost subconsci- ously in the tradition that, if Germany is the enemy by land, Great Britain is the enemy by sen. Setting aside the last war, most of the fight- ing France has done in the past at sea has in fact been against the British Navy. Any man in his senses, of course, would put all that aside in face of the eternal issue between France and Germany; and, in fact, I'm not suggesting that a long- standing hatred.of the British Navy has been the cause of. Darlan's hostility to us. But
I am convinced that there is a perhaps subconscious back- ground of traditional and pro- fessional enmity.
On top of that there was the unhappy affair at Oran, where we were-obliged to fire on French warships because they would not place them- selves in such a position that they would not fall into Ger- man hands. That, undoubtedly. did have a very strong effect on Darlan's mind. In fact, there is good reason to be- lieve that even now he refers to the episode in the bitterest way.
But even this, in my opini- on, is not the major reason why Darlan has so definitely committed himself against us. After all, many Frenchmen who resented the Oran inci- dent at the time have seen the light since; and many
QUB. Now ambition is not necessarily a bad thing. A man might be inspired to take the lead by a spirit of the purest patriotism. But he does not take the side of his country's enemies, which of course is what Darlan is do- ing.
Darlan backed the Nazis first, last and foremost be- cause they were-as long as it Buited them-ready to play with him if he would play with them. They were ready to give him power, in order that through him they might more casily exercise power them- selves. Darian can have no illusions about that, since he is getting orders from the Nazis every day, and carry- ing them out with a will. But he doesn't care. If the only way to have power is to en- alave France under the Nazis -that is all right by him.
But there is another thing, Bad judgment and personal ambition
are not quite the whole story. The other thing is called fear. Darlan realises that not only his power, but almost certainly his own skin depend upon a German vic- tory. I have not the slightest doubt in my mind that the day France is released from bondage will be marked by a most bloody retribution upon those Frenchmen who strove to keep their own country un- der the heel of the Boche.
How can the arch-traitor, the leader of them all, Ad- miral Darlan, hope to cape? This is not a British threat, and I am only telling
Jean Darlan speaks and acts for Vichy, and there can no longer be the smallest doubt that Darlan is Britain's enemy and Ger- many's friend. In this article, which recent- ly appeared in "London Calling," THOMAS CADETT analyses the motives behind the Admiral's treacherous policy.
moro who still resent it sub- merge that resentment in the feeling that whatever has hap- pened in the past we are their sole hope for any future toler- able to a proud race.
No, not even Oran has been the prime cause of Darlan's hate. The real explanation lica in two things: bad judg- ment and personal ambition. I say bad judgment, because after the defeat of France last summer the vast mass of Frenchmen felt that there was no hope for us. They had seen their own vast mill-·· tary organisations swept away like leaves under a broom, and they felt that if France, with her much-vaunted military machine couldn't stand up to the Nazis, our chances of sur- vival were hopeless..
Darlan himself -certainly held this view, and small blame to him or to anyone clad who share it at that time, although events have shown themo be wrong. Now I didn't simply mean bad when I said bad judgment,!
judgment, say, last August, although I repent events have, shown Darlan and the others to be wrong. My point is that he has continued to hold the view that Gormany will win, and, what is more, he is determined to do everything that he can to help Germany to win
C#-
you what I think. But I re- peat that from what I know of the French, Darlan will be called upon to pay the price of his crime against his own people by his own people. He must be well aware of that.
And that, above all, is why we British, and all who wish us well, would be fools if we failed to look on this man as our, most bitter enemy. He
is intelligent, cunning, vindic- tive almost everything in fact but corrageous.
To-day, more than ever be fore,
We can Bay about France: 'He that is not with us is against us.' Darlan is utterly, irretrievably against us. He is not just anti- British, he is pro-Boche, He doesn't only hate us.
