Even Ho Chi Minh f'nmmimisi leader who seized the nationalist movement in Indochina, owes much of his education to France. Unce native leaders looked noon the French as miracle workers.

Indo china is sliDDine awav in Ihe East. A new Indochina-like prob lem, this one in North Africa, is brewing. In today's world of uu-in nnm. munications, propaganda, subver sion and rising nationalism, the methods of half a eenfnrv nrm when France was at the height of ner power, do not suffice. force no longer frightens us," North African nationalist told me. "The French mass their troops and play the 'Marseillaise' to impress us with their n! their power, but we are no longer mpressca. THE MISFORTUNE The misfortune of Fi anro is this: it disnlavs less nnrl Wc ability to cope with the complex problem of defendinc its iniDnrt- ant position in today's world. The misfortune of the nennto nl the French Union who asniro in national independence is this: they are subject to being used by outside forces. No matter how just their aspirations sound to sympathetic cars in the West, their future is bound up with the struggle of Western civilization for survival. Political instnhilitv in areas important to defense is an expensive luxury from the West's point of view.

Hill TV Schedules all these have served to delay Western defense plans so much that the European Defense Com munity may never come to pass with the unity in which it was conceived. MOSCOW SKILLFUL Moscow plays with French poli tics skillfully. In Geneva, Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov made a tough, unbending speech, and the French government fell, to be succeeded by another likely more willing to appease its way out of difficulties. Many French politicians, ears attuned to grass-roots weariness from eight years of warfare in Southeast Asia, announced them selves willing to write off Indo china. "Let's make the best of it" became the slogan. How did it all conic to pass? France consolidated her em pire at the height of her power and glory. After her defeat by Prussia in 1870, France was de termined to show the world she would be a world power. She pin ned down her authority in the Far East. She turned to North Africa and made Tunisia a pro tectorate. She moved into Moroc co and by 1912 established her authority. The show was impressive. France put an end to tribal war fare, built roads, harbors, indus tries, great white cities. She brought health and hygiene so that local populations now are more than doubled. She even brought education, though be latedly and to a relative lew. Na tive leaders looked up to the French as wonder workers, mir acle men who could make a wil derness flourish and even make' native leaders richer. FRANCE'S DOWNFALL French prestige remained little damaged in the eyes of such peo ple until France lay prostrate at Hitler's feet. The Allies' slogan of "self-determination," an ex pression of conscience amid a war for survival, found attentive ears in colonial areas. There was little discussion then whether such areas were ready for self rule. The postwar period brought further splintering of French po litical factions, rising Communist power in metropolitan France, in decision in Paris, coincident with the growing tide of nationalism. In the East, the sweep of Red power permitted communism to capture the nationalist move ment. In North Africa,1 the rise of the Arab League gave the once tiny nationalist force the idea that hundreds of millions of Arabs backed its aspirations. Concessions might have satis fied nationalist demands par ticularly the demands of moder ates who admitted they would need French help for a long time to come. But few political conces sions were forthcoming, and the number of moderates grew less. CRISIS TO CRISIS Today France moves from crisis to crisis. The French found that weapons, no matter how modern, and soldiers, no matter how numerous, were not enough. It was impossible to bomb an ideology. In Indochina, the French re treated into their Maginot Line idea, defending what they thought they could and fighting against a steady at'rition of harassment. When the enemy decided to come into the open and fight, it was on his terms. France lost a great battle at Dicn Bicn Phu. The tide was running against her. Politi cally, she had nothing to fill the vacuum. The only native organi zation was Communist-controlled. France had permitted no effective political organization to counter it. Today a large section of French opinion hopes to salvage the rest of the union. Businessmen quietly withdraw from Indochina, first hopefully setting themselves up in North Africa, and then, seeing there too the seeds of trouble, shifting them to more solidly held sections of the empire in west Africa. Once again a pattern takes shape. In Tunisia a "liberation army" already is in being. One cannot say for sure how national ist it is, just how much foreign influence is in it. But it requires only a small group of disciplined opportunists to change a nation alist movement into a Communist one. The world learned that in Indochina.
