RRIJSSEIS g

In the diplomatic show
down brewing here, very
much more is at stake than
the question of Britain's en-
try into the European Com
mon Market.
From all the evidence de-
veloped since the French
launched their offensive jan
uary IA, Britain is q sec
ondary target. The real target
is the United States.
If Gen. de Gaulle gets his
way in Brussels-and there
is little doubt that he will
1T will amount to the be-
ginning Of a concerted
French effort to circumscribe
American influence in Eu-
rope.
1t will be a blow against
President Kennedy's grand
design" for the development
Of a powerful Atlantic COM
munity.
1t will be an essential and
perhaps decisive step toward
Gen. de Gaulle's grand de-
sign" for an independent
European world power un-
fettered by anglo Saxon"
influence.
That is de GaulIe's View
Slamming the door on
Britain must be viewed In
this light. because this is
how Gen. de Gaulle himself
views It.
For a long time Gen. de
Gaulle has seen the British
bid to join the Common
Market as a device for
Jamming an American foot
In the European door.
The phrase coined in
France is that Britain is the
Trojan horse of Europe
that her membership in the
group along with several
other outward looking" ma
tions would fundamentally
change the character Of the
European community.
Apart from the insulting
overtones. this analysis is
quite correct. The British
themselves along with tn e
Belgians. Dutch and to some
extent the Germans-have
made no secret of their hope
of broadening the European
concepts Of Gen. de Gaulle.
Most certainly, in the
councils of the community,
the British would have rep
resented the American view
of the indivisibility Of West
ern defense. Inevitably their
primary loyalty would re-
main with the Atlantic Al
lance rather than the ex-
elusive European coalition
envisaged by Gen. de Gaulle.
Agent of the U. S.
When Gen. de Gaulle
speaks of Britain as being
politically and psychologically
unprepared to "join Europe, "
this is what he has In mind.
1t has nothing whatever to
do with the price Of frozen
poultry.
1t is quite simply because
Britain is looked on as the
agent of the United States
that the present crisis has
been precipitated.
And 1t is precisely because
the vital interests of the
United States are involved
that the crisis is the most
serious Europe has faced
since the war.
Certainly Europe is being
confronted with an agonizing
choice in which the options
are all extremely painful. 1t
Is not just a matter of de-
Gliding between Gen. de
Gaulle and President Ken
nedy. In the immediate show
down here in Brussels t h e
French are unquestionably
in a position to enforce their
decision and keep the British
out.
After that the choice will

be between retaliating against
France and wrecking g the
Common Market or follow
ing, however reluctantly.
along the course which the
French President has laid
out.
Gen. de Gaulle is confident
OF victory because 1t is, as
he is fond of saying, "in the
nature of things" whic h
means in this case a very
precise military calculation
Of the risks involved.
In the case of the United
States, the nature of things
includes the reaction of
wounde e d sensibilities that
normally follows a quick kick
in the solar plexus.
Having argued that the
United States cannot be re-
lied on to defend Europe,
the General can now sit back
and listen contentedly to the
chorus of angry voices in
Washington demanding that
Mr.. Kennedy pull out the
troops"
No doubt Gen. de Gaulle
does not expect the troops to
leave for some time. But
every hint from the United
States that 1t is In a mood
to wash its hands of Europe
plays directly into the hands
Of the French.
Germans Are the Key
The Germans, as 1t is Of
ten pointed out, are the key
to the whole affair. If they
march with Gen. de Gaulle,
others will march too. If
they don't, Gen. de Gaulle's
dreams Of a new Europe will
quickly crumble. 1t is in
Bonn that most of the arm
twisting is going on now and
will continue over the months
to come.
The outcome Is anything
but a foregone conclusion.
Though a majority of the
present West German gov
ernment is supposed to be
pro-British, pro American
and hig hly distrustful Of
Gen. de Gaulle, there are
powerful forces at work on
the French side.
Here again the General
has calculated the risks care
fully with an eye to the next
German government.
The new Franco German
treaty of cooperation is far
more than a symbolic bury
ing Of the hatchet between
the two countries. It is also
potentially an instrument
providing for the closest col
laboration between France
and Germany in the political
and military fields. What
ever dissension there may be
in the German ranks there is
little chance that this treaty
will be repudiated.
Negotiate With Russians
Beyond this there is a far
more potent lever that the
French can bring to bear on
any German government.
The Europe which Gen. de
Gaulle proposes would be in
a position to negotiate with
the Russians on the issue of
German unification with far
more chance of success than
If Germany is still tied firm
ly within an Atlantic and
NATO framework including
the United States.
Finally and most charac-
teristically, Gen. de Gaulle
is counting on himself to
keep the Germans in line. He
was deeply impressed by the
outburst of public feeling
during his visit to Germany
last year.
1t has been said before
that the Germans respond to
a fuehrer. And If Europe has

EuroPe's Traffic Woes
Something Like Ours

American-style traffic prob.
lens are beginning to plague
motorists in Europe.
European traffic problems in
major metropolitan areas are
hot unlike our own" according
to George F. Kachlein, jr., pres

Mr.. Kachlein made his re-
marks after a nine-week study
tour of Europe.
Despite the problems, he said,
motoring remains an excellent
means of touring the Continent
and more than $4,000 Ameri-
cans are expected to travel by
this method in Europe next
year.
"But Americans should not
expect to drive 300 or 400 miles
a day, or see a gas station on
every corner, if they really
want to see the countryside" he
added. "AAA considers about
lbs miles a day to be a good av-
erage, especially when you take
into account the many Euro
peans who will be on the road
with you.
"They are good drivers, but
tend to drive faster than is per-
mitted on American highways.
If you aren't in a hurry, it isn't
advisable to try to keep up with
them"

Winter Vacation Breaks
Could Cheer the FederaIs
BY CHARLES YARBROUGH
star Travel Editor

It Is a reasonable assumption
that the United States Govern
ment would like to see all its
budgets balanced - people as
well as pennies.
That is to say it might like to
see more people take their
vacations in winter in order to
balance out the year and leave
more people at home during the
summer to mind the ficSals.
If such be the case, the
League Of Federal Recreation
Associations has stepped in with
new energy and a new course
that should build up a trend.
The league, composed of 81
recreation associations among
Government departments, has,
since 1857, been offering vaca-
ton packages. Some Of them,
perhaps, have been a little too
ambitious for the average budg-
ct vacation.
Pointing toward what might
well be a richer market but at
economy prices, League PreSi-
dent John A. Kmec, of Inter-
ior, and Gordon Brown, of the
Civil Service Commission, chair
man Of the Travel Tour Com
mittee, last week announced an
attractive winter tour schedule.
Last year, the league sent
two trips to Europe, two to Ha-
waii, two to Mexico and another
to Nassau and Miami. Total
takers: About $50.
