But NATO cannot in turn
give France nuclear informa-

something which depends on
a vote by the Congress Of the
United States, which must
amend the present law con-
corning the sharing of nu-
clear information. It also
depends on the practical use
that win be made Of such
data.
Obviously 1t costs q great

LONDON. - The dispute
over how much encourage
iment should be given to
France 10 become q nuclear
power and whether American
Jet bombers shall be trans
ferred to bases outside
France unless permission is
given to stockpile atomic
bombs in that country is
likely to be ironed out salts
factorily. The reason is that
there Is much merit on both
sides. and the only real
difiiculty is that President de
Gaulle has not yet come to
grips with some financial
facts that lie at the bottom
of the controversy.
France. to be sure. has
every right to become a nu-
clear power. as President de
Gaulle wishes. But so has the
United States q right to
consider whether and to
what extent she will share
her nuclear information
with other powers. Similarly,
France has the right to say
what military units shall be
stationed on her soil, espe-
cially those which would be
used In an atomic war. Great
Britain has never surrendered
this right, and in the last
analysis reserves the privilege
of vetoing the use Of bombs
that are stockpiled on her
territory. The assumption is
that, in an emergency, per-
mission will be forthcoming
promptly-but the fact re-
mains that such permission
has to be obtained from
a parliamentary government
and not from a British
army commander stationed
at NATO headquarters.
Gen. de Gaulle is a man in
whom the passions Of an
intense nationalism are as
deeply ingrained today as
they were during World War
II when he headed the
French government in exile.
