ALGIERS,
March
15
(CP)
General
Illenrl
Giraud,
in
an
address
internationally
broadcast
yesterday,
embraced
the
principles
of
the
Atlantic
Charter
and
offered
General
Charles
DeGaulle
union
on
the
basis
of
a
mutual
pledge
that
French
People
would
be
allowed
to
choose
their
own
government
when
they
became
free
again.
General
Giraud,
civil
and
military
commander
in
North
Africa,
promised
repeal
of
Vichy
legislation
and
implied
that
office
holders
of
pro-Vichy
leanings
would
be
ousted.
In
London
a
spokesman
of
the
fighting
French
said
that
Ghana's
declaration
still
failed
to
satisfy
the
DeGaulle
camp.
The
spokesman
said
Fighting
French
leaders
were
disappointed
that
Giraud
failed
to
pledge
elimination
from
the
North
Africa
regime
of
well
known
Vichy
leaders.
Coal
has
been
known
to
man
for
more
than
2,000
years,
but
has
been
chemically
exploited
for
less
then
a
century.
