ROME. - The Panhandle
Gaulle meeting at Turin
marks the opening of the real
campaign for the federaliza-
ton Of Europe into a Europe
of the Fatherlands." accord
ing to informed French
sources.
So long as the Algerian
war continued, Gen. de
Gaulle confined his activities
mainly to discussions with
the Bonn government. Now,
those close to the French
President say, he will apply
all his energy and persuasive
powers to bringing about Gre
alton of the European Fed
Grafton which he regards as
the only practical answer to
the threat from the East.
Because of the opening
to the left" in the Italian
government. Italy is con-
sidered the weakest link in
Gen. de Gaulle's plans. This
explains why he was inter-
ested in meeting Premier
Fanfani before talking with
other European heads of
state. 1t is an open secret
that the Frenchman pays
only lip service to NATO.
Hence Italy's future attitude
toward that organization and
whether it will continue to
permit American missile
bases on its territory con-
Germs him only to a limited
degree. He is interested in
the Italian Premier's actual
stand on the planned politi-
cal federation of Europe.
Gen. de Gaulle doubts very
much, it is said here, that an
Italy with strong leftist
tendencies can play a con-
structive role in a Europe of
the Fatherlands whose main
objective is to frustrate the
SovietS.
There are some political
observers at home who be-
lieve that because of his at
titude on the NATO and on
nuclear armaments, he is
not friendly to the United
States. This is being strongly

denied. not only by informed
French observers. but also
by Americans who have had
the opportunity to sound out
the French President.
Gen. de Gaulle is convinced
that Europe's association
with the United States is of
paramount Importance to the
defense and survival of the
free world. But he has ad-
mitted frankly that our wav-
ering policies, our lack of a
strong line, not with words
but with actions. have caused
the main European countries
France and Germany-to
wonder about our ultimate
objectives.
Moreover, he has become
convinced that it has long
been possible for Europe to
defend herself instead of
hanging onto Americas apron
strings, if it was prepared for
the necessary effort and sac
rifice. The main obstacle has
been the lack of will rather
than the lack Of material and
men. Gen. de Gaulle believes
that if France can now in
ject that will into the Eu-
ropean body politic-through
the creation of the federation
the defense situation might
be dramatically altered.
Germany alone has the ca
pability of raising sufficient
conventional forces to replace
the American divisions be-
tween the Rhine and the
Elbe, as well as the two un-
der-manned British divisions.
But Germany continues to
have an "inferiority COM
plex." The Soviet propaganda
that "all Germans are Nazis"
or at best Huns (the epithet
applied to the German armies
in World War y is still ac-
cepted by many Americans
and British. Because of the
psychological impact, the
Germans are doing nothing
more than what was required
of them when they were ad-
mitted to the NATO at a
time when the Federal Re-
public was still weak.

Proxmire Hits
Defense Lobby

PRINCETON, N. j., April Z
(AP) Senator ProXmi mire e.,
Democrat of Wisconsin, said
today the Pentagon maintains
"one armed force lobbyist for
every member of Congress"
In a speech prepared for a
Princeton University world
affairs symposium, Senator
Proxmire said 1.-THE biggest gap
in Congress today is the lack of
any disposition to challenge
military spending, no matter
how vast or how patiently
unjustified."
ASsailing what he called the
anything for defense" attitude
of most members, the Wiscon-
sin Senator said it grows out
of a "devastatingly effective
lobby" directed by defense in
dustrieS toward both the legiS-
lative and executive branches

lobby Congressman daily in
what must be the most all
encompassing lobby operation
in history with more than 500
Pentagon lobbyists, euphoni-
ouSly called legislative liaison
men, attending members of
Congress-" he said.
There is now one armed
force lobbyist for every member
of Congress. Ironically, this
lobbying army dedicated to
spending the taxpayers money
is charged to the taxpayer.
Most devastating of all is
the widespread attitude of any
thing-g o e s-if-it's-for defense
that permeates editorial pages
and commentary throughout
America. 1t is this that makes
the questioning Of this huge
spending an act fraught with
political danger"
Increase Predicted
Senator Proxmire predicted
that Congress will increase the
administrators defense budget.
He said the "anything-goes-
for defense" attitude may be
giving the country a weaker
military posture as we'll as a
bigger defense budget.
THE heaviest lobbying pres
sure-and the most potent with
Congress-is to hold on to old
weapons, keep old assembly
lines rolling and maintain old
jobs" he said. In an age when
rapid-fire development and
change are the essence of mill
tary power, this could be
deadly"

Extremism Is Called Creator of War
And u. S. Power Magnet for Attack

drowned out, and frightened
out, the voices of concilia-
ton. Another lot of eXtrem-
lists produced the radical re-
construction.
The lesson is there in 1862.
But who will read it, with
the extremists shrieking in
violence?
1t was necessary to so to
war in 1917.
Not many today recall or
know of how long and with
what great and patient agony
Woodrow Wilson sought to
avoid war.
The Germans threw the
iron dice. They knew their
decision to sink any and all
ships of nations at war and
at peace would force the
United States to war. But
they did not believe We
could produce the ships to
carry the materials of war
to Europe. or create and
transport an army. They
were almost right. They
would have been but for
Woodrow Wilson, who knew
what had to be done. We
must train a nation for war"
he said, with great sadness,
as he marshaled the men who
could do the job.
There are two lessons.
One is that no great power
can avoid a world war once
it is begun. No matter how
deeply it wills to stay out,
it cannot. The very fact of
its power makes it impossible.
The Germans, in 1917, de-
cided they could sink enough
ships to nullify our power.

showed that the number Of
unemployed workers declined
10 1882, 900 last month from
4,543,000 in February and
$685. 900 a year earlier.
Better Than Normal
This drop was slightly better

force normally is expected to
increase by one million or more
