Overweight France

It is not surprising that the French
have reacted bitterly to the Anglo
American decision to supply Tunisia
with token shipments of small arms and
ammunition. The issue is so super
charged with emotion that it could cause
the downfall of Premier Gaillard's fiedg-
ling government, and conceivably it
could put lethal blight on next months
crucial Paris meeting of the North At
lantic Treaty Organization-the unprec-
edented Western summit" conference
in which President Eisenhower is sched-
uled to participate.
The French certainly deserve some
sympathy. They feel that they have
been grossly affronted and deserted by
their two chief allies. Further, although
they themselves have expressed willing
ness to send arms to Tunisia on con-
ditional basis, they profess to fear that
the Anglo-Ameriean shipments even
tually will be slipped into revolt-torn
Algeria for use against their troops.
Since it has Endorsed the Algerian rebel
cause against them (even though with
counsels of moderation), President Bour-
guibaS pro-Western government in
Tunis does not enjoy their confidence.
And so their suspicious. coupled with the
wounds inflicted on their national pride,
have led them to take the most wrathful
view of what we and the British have
done.
Nevertheless, understandable as It
may be in many respects, this is re-
action that seems overweight, excess
sive and out of keeping with the reali-
ties. Thus, for one thing, it is hardly
warranted by the small quantity of arms
being shipped-arms that Tunisia has
promised to use only for its own defense,
not for transfer to Algeria. More i'm
portant still, the French do not appear
to have given much thought to the fact
that Britain and the United States, pre-
sumably after great deal of SOUL
searching, have decided as they have
in kind Of choice Of evils-because of
a conviction that the Bourguiba govern
ment would otherwise have turned to the
Soviet bloc for the weapons it wants.
The French, whose crisis in Algeria
has been aggravated by their perilous
inability to achieve governing stability
at home, cannot reasonably shrug of
such question. Actually, their own
vital interests, as well as ours and Brit
aims and those of the entire Western
world, are served by any action calcu-
lated to keep the Red tide from rolling
over North Africa That is why they
should find on second thought, after
their emotions have cooled off bit, that
the Anglo-American decision to send a
modest amount of arms to Tunisia-
which is still on the side of freedom-is
amply justified in terms of the hard
international realities that prevail now.
Accordingly, despite the unhappy
situation existing at the moment be-
tween Paris on one hand and London
and Washington on the other, there is
reason to hope that further reflection
in France will do away with the present
bitterness and bring the three great
allies together again for the difficult
tasks that lie ahead.

Dim View of Stevenson's Co-operotion

It does seem that Adlai E.
Stevenson, who spoke so
highly Of himself in the last
two presidential campaigns
and was lauded to the skies
by his adoring friends, de-
spite the low character Of
his efforts to be elected,
lacks the saving grace Of q
good loser-to wit, magma
nimity. True, he has at last
accepted the twice-proffered
request Of the President to
help show q united front in q
grave national crisis by join
ing with him In framing the
foreign policy Of this country
at the meeting Of the NATO
which the President will at
tend in Paris next month.
The last proposal Of the
President was so phrased as
to leave Mr.. Stevenson no
choice save to accept, which
his embittered speeches and
attitudes since his over
whelming defeat in 1856
seemed to make very difficult
indeed. In fact, Mr.. Steven
son, after consulting with his
close friends, Dean Acheson.
Thomas Finletter and Arthur
Schlesinger. jr., appeared in
such a poor huInor about CO.
operating with the man who
had twice beaten him at the
polls so badly and whom
they all personally dislike
that q good many people felt
that Mr.. Stevenson's Co
operation" might easily do
the country more harm than
good. Give him an oppor-
tunity to trip Mr.. Eisenhower
in his slick. pious way and he
would be sure to do it. How
ever. Mr.. Stevenson in this
case had no real alternative.
Accepted "Grudglngly"
If he refused, as he did. to
accept q position on the Civil
Rights Commission which
was offered, by declining to
put aside personal and polit-
ical prejudice in a matter of
foreign policy. he could Justly
be accused of a lack Of pa
triotism. Bitter as it would
be to help his successful rival
to the backing Of a united
country. there was no way to
avoid the obvious grudging
acceptance of the Presidents
invitation.
Particularly Is this true
when he knew that not only
would q refusal brand him
before the Nation as a churl.
but it would open wide the
door for the President to
turn to Mr.. Truman. who
while not at all the "titular"
leader of the party is, per-
haps, more the real leader
than is Mr.. Stevenson. It
happens that the personal
relationship Of the President
and the former President is
even less cordial than that
between the President and
Mr.. Stevenson.
None the less, such is the
desire of the President in this

Goal for Thonksoivino

The United GiverS Fund can reach
its goal by Thanksgiving If there is
complete coverage of all potential con-
tributors. The coverage is not yet COM
plete, by any means. Last year, for
example, 100000 givers had a part in
putting the first UGF drive over the top.
So far this year, however, only $4,000
givers have been enrolled. The target
set at the beginning of the 1857 drive
was 100000 givers.
Campaign Chairman Walker attrib-
utes the falling Off in number of con-
tributions to the fact that many persons
who are willing to give have not as yet
been visited by volunteer workers. I'm
fortunately, there are too many persons
who rely completely on a personal
appeal by campaign solicitor. Too
few will take the trouble to send con-
tribution unless actually asked to do so.
Fright from the beginning" Chairman
Walker told the workers at a recent
meeting, at has been perfectly clear that
success would depend on complete
coverage."
The efforts of the volunteers, there
fore, will be concentrated between now
and the Thanksgiving season on reach
ing all who have failed to subscribe to
this years fund. Another report meet
ing will be held on November e.. There
is good reason to hope that the extra
canvassing by the tireless citizens who
have volunteered for the extended drive
will raise the present total from
$5,838,l99 to the goal of 81 million. The
entire Metropolitan Area then would
have special reason to give thanks
on the upcoming holiday.

Fewer and fewer toiling
hours is one of the most sig
nificant trends OF the times.
This means that millions who
once were constantly longing
for the relief and release Of
free hours are now being
given great blocks of time in
which to do as they please.
The fight for more leisure is
being won. but, in an age of
biaring luke boxes, entertain
ment pandering to mental
stagnation and pegged most
ly to a low I. O., the perth
nent question is what Is to
be done with the new leisure.
The answer to that deter
mines, for the individual and
for the Nation. whether it is
to be a blessing or a curse.

duct is, next to God respect

Of a person you will be a score
of years from now depends
not so much on the financial
recompense which goes into

own unclaimed wrist. In
twenty years the time now

In that process we glimpse

To Speed Up Transit

Traffic Director Keneipp has given
proper recognition to the Importance of
speeding up mass transportation-in
the interest not only of bus riders but of
traffic generally. All commemorative
transit customers and those who drive
their own cars-will hope that the forth
coming series of conferences at the
Traffic Department will produce tangible
results.
Mr.. Keneipp wrote Transit President
Chalk that with more and more workers
and shoppers using private automobiles
for transportation to and from the con-
geSted downtown Streets" the conges-
ton in the central area is growing worse
than ever. He proposed that transit
officials and the public attend confer
ence November 26 to discuss ways and
means Of expediting the movement of
buses and automobiles. He said that the
purpose will be to review what has been
done to date Especial lanes for buses, re-
duced bus stops, etc. and to "be sure
that we have not overlooked any good
bets for the improvement of mass trans
1t service"
The problem is not likely to be
solved at one conference or several, of
course, but any Improvement would be
welcome. In the absence of full-fledged
rapid transit system, featuring subways
and express routes such as are available
in some of the larger cities, no effort
should be spared to make transit riding
more attractive by accelerating the
movement of streetcars and buses.
