TUNISIAN VICTORY
EFFECT ON FRENCH MASSES. HOSTILITY TO VICHY STIMULATED. “For a time it seemed in France that Allied propaganda was based entirely on promises,” says a recent issue of a Swiss newspaper of Neuchatel. “It was beginning to lead to a certain lassitude, and it rather played into the hands of ‘collaborators’ who knew how to exploit public impatience. “The successes of Tunisia have suddenly brought the end nearer in the eyes of the masses, and beneath the apparent calm the population continues to be definitely hostile to the Government policy. Discontent is increasing in all classes of the population. The middle-aged classes are concerned about the recruitment of the idle. The people of the land have recently seen the tightening of measures of control over production. The workers are directly affected by the raising of the mobilisation age to the 30-year-old class and above. In this section of the population agitation is increasing to a pitch which recalls the disturbances of 1936, with this difference—there are no longer internal differences in the factories, and the spirit of Union is considerably stronger and stronger every day.”
