PAGE FOUR HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON MONDAY. AUGUST 25. French Author Outlines Inspirational Aims Of De Gaulle's Government By KINT.SBIRY SMITH United Tress International PARIS (LTD Creation of a new spirit of pride and achieve ment in French political lite was described by Andre Malraux to day as the major objective of Premier Charles do Gaulle's gov ernment. The famous French author, who, as "minister-delegate," is the intellectual leader of the Gaul list movement, outlined the inspi rational aims of the regime in an informal talk with this corre spondent. He expressed confidence that the inspirational leadership which General de Gaulle is now giving to the French people will bring about political stability in France. Unlike some other members of De Gaulle's government, such as information Minister Jacques Sou stelle. Malraux does not believe it will be necessary to create a new political party to implement the policies of General de Gaulle. He thinks the new spirit which the war-time leader of the Free French movement is instilling in the people will result in a refor mation of the existing parties.

"Not more than 350,uO0 people are involved in party politics in France. Counting parly workers and militant party members on all levels, that is less than one per cent of the population. "The French people are disgust ed with politics, with the 'game,' as it has been ployed in recent years. They are disillusioned with existing parties and Ihey would be just as skeptical towards any new party that claimed it was going to replace the others. "We have a different solution in mind. That is to channel the po tential enthusiasm of the French people for public affairs which is great in spite of their contempt for the post-war actions of exist ing political parties towards the accomplishment of concrete (asks in the national welfare." Malraux cited as the type of public interest project he has in mind tho creation of charitable foundalions similar to the Ameri can Ford and Rockefeller founda lions, which would enable private individuals and business firms to set aside funds under a tax-dcdile table arrangement. These funds would be used to finance scientif ic, cultural and social develop ments. "I have," he said, "always ad mired the accomplishments of the American loundations. and I re gard their role in the France of tomorrow as essential. "Under the very broad powers already voted General de Gaulle's government by the legislative bodies, we have the authority to introduce the necessary measures lo tacililatc the creation of smv ilar foundations, and we are pre paring to oo so. Malraux said that General de Gaulle hopes to use provisions of the proposed new constitution, on which the country will vote Sep tember 21!. to modernize the exist ing archaic governmental ma chine. "We must," he added, "intrn- duce a new spirit of cfliciency in the rrench governmental admin- 1st rat ion. Modernization of the governmental machine will, in it self, serve lo instill in the people respect for their government, something that has been sadly lacking." Malraux believes the French people must be inspired to feel a sense of national destiny. When the French are devoid of a strong passion for a great cause, they tend to become cyni cal, to lose interest in public af- lairs, and lo uppear at their worst. "You have heard (hat Hie French dislike America. In a sense that is true, but it is also true that the French Communists dislike Russia, and last but not least, the French also dislike each other. As soon as they develop genuine enthusiasm for a worth while common goal, all this is for gotten and the people become united in a fraternal spirit of goodwill. That is the spirit we are trying now to inspire." Hero of Ihc non-Communist French intellectual youth through his literary works. Malraux hopes to rally the youth of the nation behind the Gnullist movement and thus to encourage them to take a greater interest m trench public affairs. However, he wishes to avoid any regimented organiza tions that would appear similar to the totalitarian youth movements Questioned as lo how ho expect ed the transformation of existing political parties would be achieved lo reflect the new "spirit" of De Gaulle without the formation ot a new party, Malraux. sometimes referred to as the mystic "dream- of the Gaulhst movement, re plied.

You have it under a different name in the United States. There are dillerent tactions within your two great parties, the members of which are in disagreement on many problems.
