Fall Of French Gov't|s

Being Taken Seriously

. By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer The fall of a French govern-

ment is a tired political joke.

This time it's being taken se-

rlously. '

The resignation of Felix Gail- lard as head of the 24th govern- ment since liberation poses a double da.nger—of complete dis- order at home and of undisguised Western disunity over North Af- rlca.

Responsible observers in Lon- don and Paris, saddened by what they regard as a “senseless” crisis, consider that the domestic situation is potentially grave, The latest demonstration of parlia- mentary decay, coupled with signs of public restiveness, may drive France toward an extreme solution, such as communism, fsacism or some form of milita authoritarinaism.

FAVOR STRONG MAN

‘ As President Rene Coty goes

through the familiar charade of,

interviewing potential prime min- isters, the name of General

Charles de Gaulle is again men-

tioned. Many ordinary French

people, tired of the old faces,

would like to see a strong man in power to “clean up the mess.” But experienced students of the French scene feel that de Gaulle, at 68. has lost much of his pol- itical dynamism.

The vote that toppled Gaillard leaves‘ France more isolated than ever.

“We are alone,” mourns a. headline in Le Monde, an inde- pendent Paris newspaper.

An-other French paper, Le Figaro, warns that there is no majority for a policy of “x1no- phobia and extreme national- ism.” Le Figaro usually favors the right wing, which is being blamed for bringing down the government.

AWKWARDI MOMENT

T-he hostile votes came mainly from the Communists, who have a vested interest in mischief, and the right-wing Conservative Inde- ,pendents led by ex-premier An- tone Pinay.

Pinay is thought to have been angered by Gaillard’s first speech in Tuesday's assembly de- bate and to have made only a

ruly followers. Pinay, one of the more moderate men of the right, is likely to be a key figure in discussions on th-e new regime.

The crisis could hardly come at a more awkward moment. NATO is in session in Paris, Eu- ropean trade negotiations are in stalemate and trouble looms on the industrial front.

WALKING GHOST

And the vote solves nothing. Right-wing instransigence merely makes the North African prob- lem more intractable. The French case in Algeria will be harder to justify and President Habib Bourguiba may have to jettison his pro-Western policies.

As Allied diplomats see it, the upheaval is largely the result of the determination of a section of French politicians, goaded by a sense of national humiliation or toher motives, to cling to an all- or-nothing policy in Algeria.

“Algeria today is the walking ghost of the past which the French have not laid.“ the Brit- ish weekly, The Economist, wrote last January. Most ob-

Thur, April 17, 1958 The Guardianflifage 5

The members of the Montaigne were guests last night of the manage- ment of the Bison Restaurant when they were entertained at a fourth birthday dinner, complete with a beautifully decorated three tier birthday cake. When the Jun- ior Board received their charter four years ago in the Rainbow Room of “The Bison". the pro- prietress, Mrs. Clay invited the members to make it their home.

Some of the projects started by the Junior Board are: garbage collection in the town; the well known road side table site at Bell’s Hill; the Teen-Age Safe Driving Road-E-O and last bu-t not least the Garden of the Gulf Mu- seum. This year the board will carry on these projects as well as the erection of a new sign at Cherry Valley corner, having re- ceived a donation of up to $300.00 from the town of Montague for this purpose. —
