In my talks with the dis

poets to become the next
Premier. he expressed the
opinion that American politi-
cal men actually are more
unstable than the French.
For instance. he pointed out
that when the French de-
cided that so long as the
Muscovites were not likely
to commit an outright ag-
gression against Europe, the
allies had better come to
terms with the Russians and
establish an economic CO.
existence. France was not
only loudly accused by
America Of neutralism but Of
being prepared to abandon
the NATO. too. Yet it is the
United States that at pres
ent makes the most strenuous
efforts to reach a disarma-
ment agreement with the
USSR despite its knowledge
that the Russians have never
kept a treaty for a longer
time than 1t suited their con-
venience.
There is little difference,
the Frenchman claimed, be-
tween French neutralism of
two or three years ago and
the present efforts Of the
United States to give up the

The Frenchman continued:
Regardless Of what changes
may have occurred in the
field Of military strategy be-
cause Of new weapons. in the
field Of International policies
the world is still at the stage
of power politics. possibly
more than ever in the past.
We are seriously wondering
what is IN the minds of the
men in the White House. the
State Department and Con-
gress when it appears to us
that you want to weaken your
principal allies in Western
Europe because of the shib-
boleth Of 'colonialism.'
Britain seems reconciled
to her new position as a
second-class power. But she
does have behind her the
support Of her former domin-
ions, now completely sover-
eign countries but with
strong racial and cultural
attachments to the mother
country, France can hardly
compare herself with her
neighbor across the Channel.
If we lose Algeria and the
vast resources in the Sahara
and Equatorial Africa hinter-
lands. we can hardly expect
to remain a nation with even
the economic and military
potential Of Spain. And,
rightly or wrongly, the bulk
Of the French people point
the finger at your political
men as the principal cause Of
our possible disappearance
as a world power.
You criticized us merci-
lessly for our neutralism at q
time when the French peo-
pie were willing to accept the
USSR at its face value. Now
you describe our reborn ma
tionalism as colonialism and
believe that your handouts in
foreign aid will assure our
devotion. 1t does no more
good than giving jewelry to
