DE GAULLE AS A LEADER

In March. 1916, in the glorious inferno of Douau-. mont, a young Captain, grave- ly wounded for the third time since the beginning of the war, was captured on the battle. field. On five occasions he attempted to escaper and five times he was recaptured. But neither reprisals nor persecu- tions could get the better of him. And when the victory of our armies liberated him, the man was well tempered who gave himself entirely to the service of France.

In his book, "The Army of the Futuro", published in 1934 one reads:

A

"In order to bring into being the professional army, and in order that that army, should be provided with the material and with the new spirit with- out which it will never be more than awill-o'-the-wisp, leader will have to appear whose judgment in indepen-. dent, whose orders are irresis- tible, and who is well thought of by public opinion. He must he in the service of only the state, free from prejudices, disdaining patronage. Ho must be firmly committed to his task, absorbed in far reaching plans, well-informed about the men and things to be dealt with. He must be a leader who is at one with the army, devoted to those he commands, eager for respon-·· Hibility; a man strong enough to compel, clever enough to persuade and great enough to carry through a great task. Such will be the minister, soldier or politician, to whom the nation will owo the noxt- reconstruction of its forces."

The man above described is do Gaulle himgolf, and ho

a

seems to have foreseen ther that the time would come 'for him to be a leader. Never in the long history of France, neither at the height of her power nor at the lowest mark of her weakness, has Frenchman held this astonish- ing and simple title: "Leader of all free Frenchmen". One must know well a man who has this title to understand how much he is worthy of it. Worthy to be a Leader and- what is rarer still-worthy to command free men. such is the spirit of France that these two words-which would conflict in the longue of her invaders---blend admir- ably in hers.

*

For

Charles de Gaulle was a Leader during the last war, at the head of his company of Infantry in Belgium, in Chiarn- pagne, at Douaumont. He was a Leader again during the first phase of this war-of this war which continues for him- when, as a young general, he ordered his tanks against enemy positions and reaped, under the walls of Abbeville, one of the rare successes of an army always brave, but to whom an incapable General Staff had refused the means, to conquer.

And what is more, his new strategy which would have prevented disaster, de Gaullo, Indefatigably, year after year, had never ceased in his books, to preach to empty benches.. It is a Frenchman, who as early as., 1984 demonstrated that a war of movement would In futuro have the advantage

aver the strategy of mussed men; it is a Frenchman who assigned to mechanised armies and motorised units an essen- But, tial and decisive role. unfortunately for France, it is a German General Staff who put into practice what a French mind had conceived. General Guderian, creator of the German mechanised army, acknowledges in his books that General de Gaulle is a precursor and a master. Thus the army that the Reich has built up against France, it is France who first could have organised it against the Reich and reduced Hitler to defeat or, better still, to peace through fear of defeat.

Even during this war, when de Gaulle, practically in extremis, renewed his warn- ings, once again the General Staff would not listen. Was one afraid of the truth? Was one scared of a French victory? It is now time for Frenchmen to compare this man with those who have made their nest in defeat!

But to conmand free men, it is not sufletont to be leader. One must also and himself incapable of commanding slaves. General do does not resemble the hese centauri who add a bust of man to the
