SYRIAN SENTIMENT TURNING TOWARDS

DE GAULLE

L.D.V. FOR THAMES

Thames defence was discussed

in secret after it had been stated that "certain rivers" were being dammed, and L.D.V. patrols had

been formed: ".

THERE IS STRONG evidence to be found in Syria that Frenchmen there are growing more and more desirous of rallying to General de Gaulle, according to trustworthy informa- tion from Syria which reached Reuter in Cairo of the Thames Conservancy Board yesterday.

This growing sentiment is attributed, firstly, to the great bravery shown by Britain in the face of German air raids, and, secondly, to the rallying of the French Equatorial Afri- can colonies.

Although the press is muzzled; Frenchmen in Syria manage to obtain news from outside and in many sections there are signs of disgust at the Petain Government..
