Almost every informed

the cynical disregard for hu-

that they would survive the

most powerful nation on
earth.
But imperialist commu-

global war, will continue nib

Red nibbling will be re-

the Communists to be willing
to commit to counter any

Khrushchev differs from

UNITED NATIONS. NY

UNITED NATIONS NY
In a time when the fast NOV
ing drama of history is filled
with cynicism Self-serving
hypocrisy and indecision,
Frances majestic Charles de
Gaulle thrilled the world
with a magnificent show of
courage, decision and steel
like integrity. His spirit was
like a good, clean wind blow
ing through the world. For a
brief time, at least, honor and
gallantry of the mind and
soul were a great shining ex-
ample toward which mankind
could look.
Here by the E a. st River.
where representatives of SO
nations watch. weigh and
evaluate every piece Of inter-
national news, the feeling is
that what the auStere and
noble old man has done in
France amounts to a Western
victory, or perhaps one should
say it offers the opportunity
for Western advance.

former friend of the General
spoke then of a victory in
perhaps six months. He looks
and talks something like a
school master, and he might
have been giving a quiet lee
ture in history. He, himself,
he said, would not be the first
premier. He thought tn at
when Gen. de Gaulle was
ouSted - and he seemed not
to have the slightest doubt he
would be - there should be
an interim appointment by
the army. Then, when the
messy affairs had been
cleared, Gen. Soustelle would
be named premier. His con-
fidence was not of the boast
full sort. 1t was born of quiet
conviction.
The six months are just
now ended. Mr.. Soustelle
and the French generals who
divorced themselves from
reality are finished. 1t is a
dangerous thing to live apart
from events and to ignore
the workings of change. The
most powerful force for
change today is social reform.
It is this which is at work in
Algeria, as it is in Africa,
Asia and Latin American.
1t is this fact which the
Communists have seen and
understood. They have been
quick to proclaim themselves
the supporters of such reform
wherever revolution seeks it.
This has been our difficulty.
We have not been able to as
Sociate the American dream
born of our own revolution

Yet, this is what we must do
