Political turmoil swirls about
these peasants at nulnnsis ,,r h
French empire, but it means
nothing to them. They are illit

them. They want to be left in

their forefathers did for ages be

They are in the vast majority.
In contrast are educated men

Africa. It is ironic that France
educated them.
Even Ho Chi Minh f'nmmimisi

movement in Indochina, owes
much of his education to France.

the French as miracle workers.

brewing.

North African nationalist told

to impress us with their n!

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.

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.
