Market Alternatives
LONDON Wl Although
spurned by France in its bid for
Common Market membership,
Britain can fall back on alterna
tives which many have favored
over Common Market member
ship. Chief among them are harder
work at home, bargaining with
individual Common Market
members, and closer trading
ties with the United States, the
Commonwealth, the nations of
the European Free Trade Assn.
and Latin America.
For about four years the Brit
ish turned down pleas from Eu
rope to join the Common Mar
ket. Jealous of their sovereign
ty and concerned over their
Commonwealth ties, the British
preferred to create a rival trade
bloc. '
Trade experts said Britain has
one path open now: A fierce
fight to win bigger markets
overseas and to spur industrial
growth at home through more
efficiency in industry and hard
er work all around.

PARIS The future of the
Western Alliance may hinge on
the question of who is tougher
youthful President Kennedy
or the aging but durable
enigma of Europe, president
Charles de Gaulle.
The world likely will be wit
nessing two cold wars within
the big one in the East be
tween the Soviet Union and Red
China, in the West between the
United States and De Gaulle's
France.
Cheering in Kremlin
Britain's lost battle to join
the rEuropean Common Market
will have repercussions around
the world. Obviously it is a
severe though not necessarily
fatal blow to the Western
unity for which statesmen la
bored patiently over the past
dozen years.
There will be cheering in the
Kremlin and probably a Soviet
attempt to take quick advantage
of the breach in the Western
front. The Soviet response may
take the form of an aggressive
new peace offensive, with seem
ingly genuine gestures on ran
kling problems, to make it ap
pear that Europe can do busi
ness safely with the Commu
nists. De Gaulle has made clear that
he believes Europe should be a
force standing between the
United States and the Soviet
Union, independently wielding
its own nuclear weaponry, even
though he has no nuclear weap
ons to wield yet.
Poor Partner in NATO
He has made France into a
poor partner in NATO hardly
a partner at all. Since France is
an important piece of European
real estate, De Gaulle's policies
already have weakened the At
lantic Alliance.
De Gaulle also has declared
Britain unfit to be considered a
part of Europe. He champions
"continentalism," a continent
looking inward, paternally guid- hearty. For another three years,

detriment of Europe.

U.S. Awaiting Next Move by France
WASHINGTON The crucial
question being debated in Wash
ington today is whether French
President Charles de Gaulle
will follow his Common Market
defeat of Great Britain with a
campaign to break Western Eu
rope's close ties with the United
States.
De Gaulle's veto Tuesday of
Britain's bid for membership
in the market is regarded here
as a severe setback to the U.S.
campaign for increasing unity
within the North Atlantic alli
ance. A De Gaulle drive to split Eu
rope apart from the United
States or as one authority put
it "to get the United States out
of Europe" could be little
sort of disastrous.
The question of what De
Gaulle will do next is one of
several troubling U.S. leaders in
the aftermath of the Brussels
showdown.
The official policy line taken
by administration informants is
that the United States intends
to go ahead with a broad pro
gram for reducing trade bar
riers, including tariff negotia
tions with the six-nation Com
mon Market. The administration
also intends to carry forward
plans for formation of a North
Atlantic Treaty Organization nu
clear striking force built around
the Polaris submarine missile
But officials said Wednesday
that until the dust settles it is
difficult for them to see exactly
the best way to proceed.
Administration officials rule
out for the time being at least,
any sort of U.S. retaliatory a
tion against France.
Another question is what will
British Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan do? It will be up to

School Election
PORTLAND Wl Directors of

tax election April 26.
They haven't yet decided how
much the voters will be asked
to approve. That will depend on
a budget proposal from Supt.

The directors will decide at

Italy, West Germany, Bel
gium, the Netherlands and Lux
embourg also must sort out
their policies.
Should they decide under
French pressure to go along
with De Gaulle's so-called third
force policy in Europe, the po
sition of the United States on
the continent would become dif
ficult. However, the Kennedy ad
ministration doesn't expect this
to happen in view of the stand
taken by the five so far.
There is uncertainty also over
the future policies of the Brit
ish Commonwealth countries,
such as Australia, Canada, and
India. For many years, they all
had special economic relations
with Britain based on a prefer
ential tariff system.
So long as it appeared that
Britain was going into the
Common Market they were
faced with the eventual loss of
this special trade treatment and
with the problem of readjusting
all their economic relationships
including trade ties with the
United States. Now the Com
monwealth countries will have
to change their plans again.

councilman a man who first
went to work for the city 34
years ago scrubbing floors in
the Department of Water and
Power.
Gilbert W. Lindsay, appoint
ed this week to fill an unex
pired term, said: "Only in

therefore, the United States
must deal with situations cre
ated by his policy.
He has struck a hard blow at
the concept of European unity
and Atlantic partnership which
is the core of President Ken
nedy's world policy. In Europe,
diplomats ask: can De Gaulle
get away with it?
De Gaulle's popularity in
France seems unchallenged,
even though one hears misgiv
ings about his frequent referen
ces to a possible understanding
in the future with Soviet com
munism. The French economy
is booming. French business is
happy probably all the happier
now that it does not have to face
British competition within the
Common Market.
But France has angered influ
ential forces among her neigh
bors. De Gaulle's concept of a
Europe dominated by a French
German alliance can be dashed
quickly as a result of what hap
pened in Brussels.
Pact May Be Scuttled
The West Germans want Brit
ain in the Common Market, sup
port the idea of European unity,
and above all want the protec
tion of U.S. nuclear might
against Soviet communism.
The treaty of cooperation
signed by De Gaulle and Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer may
never be ratified now, even
though many West Germans
might want devoutly to put a
final seal on the reconciliation
between Europe's two tradition
al enemies. Reconciliation with
in the context of European
union is one thing, says many a
German, and in isolation from
the rest of Europe would be
quite another.
De Gaulle, despite heavy pres
sure from many directions,
stood like a rock against Britain
and the United States in the
Brussels quarrel.
But the Western Alliance's
cold war has only begun.
