FEELING IN SYRIA AXIS NOT WELCOMED FR1CTI0N WITH ITALIANS
Rec. 8.30 p.m. London, Sept. 17. Reports from Syria confirm news of friction between civilian and military authorities and the Italian disarmament commission, says the correspondent of the Times at Ankara. The period of Anglophobia after the British action against the French fleet has passed, and sentiment, except among French reservists who merely want to return home, is increasingly in favour of General de Gaulle. This tendency is assisted by news that the position of the Vichy Governmcnt is becoming shaky because of differences with the German authorities. The Italian commission is demanding immobilisation of French planes and a guarantee that troops will not enter British service. It is also seeking a share in th^ political control. of Syria. The Turks believe the situation in Syria will work out in favour of Britain. Whether the commission is successful or unsuccessful, one thing is certain neighbouring states will agree • that neither Italians nor Germans must be permitted to gain a footing in Syria.
