PARIS.


With President Charles de
Gaulle's return from WASH
tngton, it is becoming more
certain that a major turn Of
French relations with the
United States is in the works.
One must hurTiedly add
that there is no real con-
crete evidence Of this. The
generals plans and projects
remain as much as ever
locked in his own head. His
chief ministers have only
slightly better indications Of
his true intentions than any,
one else who tries to read
the peculiar logic Of Charles
de Gaulle.
The reading at this point,
however, is becoming clearer.
It seems that a change
which was already under way
before the assassination Of
President Kennedy is now
taking on new shape and en-
phasis. 1t has important and
hopeful implications for the
future Of the Western alli-
ance.
The change is basically
one Of tone rather than con-
tent. In the opinion Of many
observers in Europe, it has
been the basically anti
American tone Of Gaullist
policy rather than the spe-
cific aims of French policy
that has been the real fly in
the Atlantic ointment in the
past months.
1t was, for example, the
openly-stated conviction that
Europe could not permanent
ly entrust its security to
American nuclear protection
that aroused irritations
across the Atlantic and also
in parts of Europe itself.
Free Of Dependence
It was also thought that
Europe, in order to realize its
own potential strength and
independence, must first free
itself of dependence on the
United SYSTEMATICALLY and
economically and eventually
morally and politically as
well.
These ideas were advanced
primarily as a justification
of specific things that
France proposed to do. 1t ex-
planned the need for creating
a French nuclear force. 1t
justified French efforts for
consolidation Of the Common
Market. 1t inspired a demand
for new institutions to de-
velop a co-ordinated Euro
pean policy-as distinct from
an Atlantic policy-on the
major world problems.
During the last year. many
people have become alarmed
by the implications Of French
policy justified along these
lines. 1t has led a number
of them - including such
prestigious figures as Sena-
tor Fulbright and former
Secretary Of State Acheson
to denounce the French pres
ident roundly as a menace to
the continued existence Of
the Atlantic Alliance. 1t has
caused obvious friction at all
working levels between the
French and American gov
ernments.
There have been recent in
dications that various fac
tors were working toward a
change in this picture.
In the first place the
French nuclear force - the
central subject Of conten-
tion-iS now, at least in the
French view, an established
fact. Now that the force is
in being, there is no longer
the same need to justify it.
The emphasis from here on
can be on coordination Of
this force with the broader
Western defense plans rather
than the narrower national
istic explanation of the sig
nificance of the French eff
fort.

Shift in French Relations Seen
FoFsigH Correspondent q he Star

This nationahstic Signifi-
canoe has always been great
" exaggerated In the French
view by critics Of French pols
icy. The force from the Be.
ginning has been conceived
simply as an element Of the
overall Western deterrent.
It could, Of course. never be
used to start an aggressive
nuclear war. It makes sense
only as an instrument Of III
innate defense after all other
means have failed. It Is, ct
best, merely one additional
element Of risk in the calcu-
lations Of q potential at
tacker. De
The emphasis Of this line
of reasoning almost certainly
provided the motive behind
Gen. de Gaulle's previously
scheduled trip to the United
States next year. It would
in any circumstances have
provided the carefully pre-
pared springboard for q kind
of emotional reconciliation.
the necessity for which both
Washington and Paris have
seem ed increasingly con-
WINGED. ia
cr.
Events Add Urgency
Since these plans were de-
veloped, however, two events
have given them added ur-
gency.
The first went almost I'M
noticed in the course Of the
last ,shattering week end. It
was the visit to Paris Of the
new German chancellor, Lud-
wig Erhard, and q statement
of German policy which was
unquestionably one Of the
most important German
statements since the end Of
the war.
It is fashionable these
days to look back wistfully
to the Germany of Konrad
Adenauer and bemoan the
loss Of stature of Germany
in world councils. But If the
visit of Mr.. Erhard to Paris
was any indication the exact
opposite is likely to be the
case. ~
Where DR.. Adenauer In
variably avoided public dec
larations, combining himself
to polite banalities or
speeches in the Bundestag,
Germany now seems to have
found an eloquent and force
full spokesman.
And more than Germany.
For the first time Europe has
found a spokesman Of real
weight who is not Charles
de Gaulle. Mr.. Erhard's con-
cept of Europe, outward
looking, unexcluSive, unjeal-
GUS of the sovereignty built
in cooperation and harmony
with the United States, rep
resents a challenge to the
Gaullist concepts which the
General can ignore only at
his peril. ~
There is no indication that
Gen. de Gaulle will ignore 1t.
In its essence. Mr.. Erhard's
vision is not Incompatible
with Gaullism once Gaullism
purges itself Of its anti
American overtones. II the
new chancellor's visit here
serves to hasten the process.
he will be off to a very prom
Using start. -
But the event that is sure
to hasten and reinforce a
switch in French outlook has
been the assassination of
President Kennedy. Gen. de
Gaulle's instant response to
the calamity, his journey to
Washington and the subSe-
quent announcement of his
visit next year, are entirely
in character. But they also
seem attuned to an instinct
which tells him that the time
has come to set Franco
American relations and those
of the Atlantic alliance on a
safer, smoother path.

1t is not clear from these quota

One also remembers that when Cole
man left office nearly four years ago
Mississippi had begun to attain some
national prestige. People over the ma

u state and its progress. Our "back-
ward image was fading.
At the NINA panel Clarksdale At
torney Charles Sullivan observed many
Southerners speak out against federal
domination while failing to accept the
responsibility that goes with states
rights"
This reminds us how heavily Mis-
sissippi leans upon the arm of the
Federal government economically, a
fact only recently dramatized by the
q. S. Civil Rights Commission.
We receive more than $3.50 million
in federal funds while at the same
time we send to Washington only $270
million in taxes. Our own state bud
get depends to a great extent on fed
eral funds, too, accounting for 1884
per cent of state expenditures.
Sober-minded citizens would do
well to seriously appraise our relations
with the U. S. government and give
some thought to where we would be
without it, not alone in economics but
in the protection and safeguarding of
u liberty and lives.
God bless America - and give us
grace and sense enough to appreciate
and keep it!
