PARIS.-France enters 1861 still
deeply troubled and disturbed by
the greatest single problem facing
its otherwise bright picture: The
large and bloody question mark
that is Algeria and its 6-year-old
rebellion.
Until President de Gaulle solves
this problem the nation will con-
tmue to hover on the brink Of un-
definable disaster.
There seems little doubt France
will vote favorably on De Gaulle's
referendum on his program Of
self determination for Algeria's
8 million Moslems.
1t goes before the people January
3. How big the vote turnout may
be is problematical. but De Gaulle
feels a 65 per cent affirmative vote
would represent a mandate.
Until the savage and bloody
events Of December. when Euro
pean settler and Moslem alike rose
in Algeria during De Gaulle's visit,
1t appeared the Moslem majority
would vote "yes." There is doubt
now that he may get the kind of
vote he would like from Algeria
itself. Certainly the diehard Euro
peans will oppose him at the polls.
Coupled with this is the impon-
derable posed by Moslem rioting
in December-not for autonomy
but for clear independence. The
rebel National Liberation Front
tFLM has already launched
campaign against the referendum.
What they may accomplish by
pursuasion and terror cannot be
foretold.
Otherwise, France goes into the
new year solid in economic posi-
ton, stable in government.
The standard Of living is up,
there Is virtually no open labor
