UNITY OF COMMAND.
GENERAL GAMBLIN’S POST.
LONDON, Jan. 22. The Daily Telegraph’s military correspondent says that General Gamelin’s appointment as commander ot the French army, navy, and air force, is extremely significant and may be attributed to the gravity of the world situation and need for assuring unity of command without waiting for war to break out. French politicians have always feared to give overmuch power to a soldier. Only a sense of great emergency could induce the present French Government to nominate General Gamelin for this post. He is France s most distinguished soldier, much trusted by the army.
