FRENCH GUIANA
ADHERING TO DE GAULLE. AND NOT TO GIRAUD. (By Telegraph—-Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.5 p.m.) LONDON, March 21. French Guiana has rallied to General de Gaulle and not to General Giraud, as previously reported. The “New » „Y#rk Times” says French Guiana’s Wsudden turnover to General de Gaulle nAs -thrown the situation surrounding the French possessions in the Western Hemisphere into confusion. Informed circles assume that the London announcement has superseded a statement to General Giraud’s military mission in Washington that the colony had declared its allegiance to General Giraud. According to the Algiers radio, General Giraud telegraphed to French Guiana: “I congratulate you on your decision to bring an old and faithful colony into line. Please give the population of French Guiana a brotherly salute from the African Empire and express my firm determination to assure their happiness.” M. Hubert Guerian, French Minister . to Helsinki, has left his post t'o join General Giraud.
