...Change. The Algiers regime stood on its record, and on its plan for returning liberated France to constitutional democracy (TIME, Dec. 13). Admiral Jean François Darlan, the puppet and symbol of Allied expediency, was dead; General Henri Honoré Giraud, the later instrument of expediency, was in eclipse. Their alternative and countersymbol, General de Gaulle, was no longer the sole and dominant symbol of Fighting France. The Liberation Committee and its corollary advisory Consultative Assembly had to some extent overshadowed him. All responsible observers in Algiers, including some who had opposed De Gaulle, now recognized the fact that...
...citizenry had been anti-Fascist for a long time; but many had had grave doubts of the State Department's attitude-e.g., the Darlan situation. Now, as of November 1, 1943, good, grey Cordell Hull had placed himself and his men squarely on the record: the U.S. Government, like the U.S. people, wanted no more compromise with Fascism or with Fascists or demi-Fascists.

A writer in the Sunday Dispatch laid the blame for the Darlan deal in Africa and the recognition of Italy as a cobelligerent at the respective doors of U.S. statesmen bent on kid-gloving Vichy and U.S. politicians rounding up Italian-American votes...

Now the U.S. and Britain insisted that control over the French armed forces in North Africa must go to General Henri Honoré Giraud and not to General Charles de Gaulle, on the ground that it would be militarily dangerous to risk a sudden reform in the French...
Victim of infantile paralysis since last October, redheaded Alain Darlan, 29, son of the late French Admiral, turned up at Georgia's Warm Springs Foundation Hospital-almost certainly by the kindness of Franklin Roosevelt. With him were his mother, his pretty blonde wife Annie, a French physician, and a French orderly. Flown out of the Algiers danger zone last December, Darlan arrived in the U.S. by ship three weeks...
