Safety on the Water

President Kennedy's designation of
this week as National Safe Boating
Week is recognition of the growing
hazards posed by the phenomenal rise
in popularity of boating in recent years.
The sale of small craft and outboard
motors has increased at rate to please
the marine industry but, at the same
time, to congest lakes and waterways
and call for better traffic regulations
and enforcement
This year it is estimated that more
than 8 million small boats will carry
more than 40 million persons on water
excursions. The prospect is of concern
to the Coast Guard and its auxiliary
units, the Red Cross, power squadrons
and other organizations and groups
interested in water safety. They will
help to focus public attention on safer
boating during the proclaimed week.
The effort is we'll worth while and may
save lives during the oncoming boating
season.

De GouIIe and AIqerio

PRESIDENT Charles de Gaulle has
acted with charteriStic deciSiveneSs in
ordering that one of Frances army
divisions now in Algeria be brought
back home Immediately He has indi-
Gated, moreover, that another of these
divisions probably will be withdrawn
in the very near future, and this
despite the fresh outbreak of riotouS
demonstrations by rebel-supporting
Moslem elements.
The demonstrations have been
staged as a form of protest against
President de Gaulle'S conditional pro-
poSal to partition Algeria, with the
French minority and their numerous
MoSlem supporters being given the
rich coastal area, with it's big cities.
He has warned, in effect, that he
will press for such action unless the
leaders Of the Algerian rebels nego-
tiate seriously for rational settlement
designed to enable the country to live
in a proSpering peace. There is rea-
son to believe, however, that he has
hopes, solidly based, of being able to
persuade those leaders to be more
sensible and realistic than they have
been thus far.
Cautious optimism along this line
seems justified by the fact that the
negotiations, which came to a halt a
fortnight ago, are to be resumed this
week, with the French scheduled to
meet representatives of the rebel "pro-
visional government" at the chateau
of Lugrin on Lake Geneva. The issues
to be iScussed-including the status
of the oil-rich Sahara and Algeria'S
future relationship with France-are
difficult and complex. But General
de Gaulle appears to be confident,
assuming good faith all around and
a genuine desire for a decent peace,
that partition will not be necessary
and that mutually satisfactory set
tlen1ent can be worked out.
In any event, after some six years
Of bloody strife, the French President
has declared that military operations
are now virtually finished" in Algeria.
Presumably, this is why he has decided
to withdraw large elements Of the
French army. 1t may be, of course,
that he is being too optimistic. Never
theleSs it is good to know (and con-
ceivably this is the real purpose of the
Shift) that significant part Of Frances
armed power is being redeployed in a
way that promises to be helpful to the
West in coping with the Soviet-manu-
factured Berlin crisis, which General
de Gaulle himself has described as
being potentially very grave.
