...Faction's Fight. There were times during the week when a unified France seemed impossible. Slander and counter-slander muddied the Algiers atmosphere. The mudslinging began even as General de Gaulle arrived (TIME, June 7) to receive a correct but unenthusiastic welcome from General Giraud and Minister Murphy, an ovation from the people.

These and many similar reports were at once the consequences and the weapons of an Allied war of nerves against the Axis. If the reports happened to be correct as well, the greatest secret of World War II was a secret only in detail.

This provided loopholes for concessions to Lewis. It also had strategic value: it silenced the cries of A.F. of L. and C.I.O. against the hold-the-line order and realigned them on the side of the Government against John...
