OPPOSITION TO ITALIANS
TURN TO FREE FRANCE DEMANDS BY MISSION (United Press Asn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) LONDON, Sept. 17 Reports from Syria, says the Ankara correspondent of the Times, confirm the news that friction has developed between the civilian and military authorities and the Italian Disarmament Commission. The period of Anglophobia after the British action against the French fleet has passed and sentiment, except among the French reservists who merely want to return home, is increasingly in favour of General de Gaulle. This tendency has been assisted by the news that the position of the Vichy Government is becoming shaky because of differences with the German authorities. The Italian commission is demanding the immobilisation of French aeroplanes, and a guarantee that French troops will not enter British service. It is also seeking a share of political control of Syria. The Turks believe that the situation in Syria will work out in favour of Britain, whether the commission is successful or not. One thing is certain: The neighbouring States agree that neither the Italians nor the Germans must be permitted to gain a footing in Syria.
