IBERIA. Frenchmen with imaglna-
ton and enterprise also founded
plantations that turn out huge
quantities of pepper for the
American and European mar
ketS. Rice is another big export
crop.
French Methods
French treatment of native
labor on these plantations helped
spur the Cambodian desire for
independence. Whether this was
justified, anyone can debate
Conditions on the plantations
have improved in recent years
but the Cambodians' disagreed
BILE opinions of the plantation
owners still linger.
One French owner of a pep
per plantation claims the Cam
bodians showed up at his head
quarters one day and announced
that he now had a Cambodian
partner. The Frenchman claims
he gave them the whole planta-
ton and walked out. He will re-
tire. He has made his fortune
He, like most Frenchmen. is
tired of the one-time colonies
of Cambodia, Wet Nam and
Cambodia.
Even French tradesmen are
gloomy. When this area was
colony, there was preferential
trade treatment that kept the
three Associated States as
market for French manufac-
tured goods. Now thai the United
States has become the dominant
Western influence in the area,
these markets will be opened to
all Corners. Japanese and Ameri-
can manufacturers are expected
to take much of the market the
French used to enjoy.
Gem Of Orient
If the French are losing much
of what they had here, perhaps
it is because they did not have
the vision or energy to do all
they could for Cambodia and
France, too.
Cambodia is a gem among
Oriental countries: 1t is under
populated. 1t has about as mil
lion persons living on $4,000
square miles of land. Cambodia,
in other words. is somewhat
larger than Virginia, and with
similar population density.
Only a small part of Cambodia
is cultivated, though the soil is
extremely fertile. Great hard
wood forests that grew without
mans aid are hardly touched. If
properly managed, the economy
of Cambodia could grow and
prosper.
The French also seem to have
done less than their best with
the human resources here. Even
by Oriental standards, Prom

PNCiM PENN, Cambodia-If
Cambodia is the product OF
French colonialism. you can un-
derstand why the French en-
pire is falling apart.
The French came here in force
at the turn of the century. They
have had so years to act.
1t is true that in some places
they have left their stamp. In
the center of this capital of
Cambodia is a mile-long mall.
They call it the esplanade.
1t is flanked by broad boule-
Yards. It is planted with red and
blue flowers. The grass is clipped.
1t reminds you of Washington
or Paris at their best.
Near the esplanade are some
lush French-type villas. They are
occupied by Frenchmen. Also
nearby is a sports club with a
glistening swimming pool.
These are not for Cambodians.
The Cambodians live a few hun
dred yards aWay--in squalor.
SIums Are Filthy
You can walk to the slumS
from the Royal Hotel-one a
proud French symbol but now
appropriately run down and &C.
cupied mostly by the Interna-
tional Control Commission. Walk
a few yards off the boulevards
and you find dirt pathways twist
ng among plank-and-paper
novels
Parents live with their children
In a single room, separated from
their neighbors only by few
boards and their own determine
ton to keep the family unit in
tact.
The lucky Cambodian residents
of Prom PENN live close enough
to community water spigot to
carry the water home in buckets.
Others buy from peddlers who
wheel water tanks through the
back alleys. In so years. the
French have not given this cap
ital water pure enough for West
etners to drink without boiling.
For all this. the French have
taken great wealth out of Cam
bodia. Near this city is rubber

THANKSGIVING

We thank the Giver of all good,
In grateful song and prayer,
For all the wealth of harvest time
And His protecting care.
For sturdy pioneers of old,
THE salt of all the earth)
Who sacrificed their own hearts
blood
To give Old Glory birth.
The breathless beauty of the trees,
Aflame with sunset hue,
Fair rivals of the myriad flowers,
Sweet with the morning dew.
Proclaim the wonders of His hand,
The matchless, mighty power
That rules the universe and man
Throughout each changing hour.
For confidence that right is might;
For friends and peaceful living;
Through faith we claim our herit-
\age
A joyous, glad Thanksgiving.
