Less than three weeks before
the scheduled opening of the
four-power foreign ministers
conference, France is amid a
full-blown crisis that can knock
Western strategy into a cocked;
hat.
Wihat is happening to France
seems not so much the uprising
of nationalism in her empire,
but civil strife involving the
French diehard colonialists in
North Africa and their support
ers in metropolitan France with
those Frenchmen who sought
and still are seeking desperate
ly for ways to end the strife
short of disaster.
'Much French business and
much of France's very economy
depends ppon the North Am
erican procteotorates affid A1-;
geriia, which Paris says is part
of metropolitan France.
Therefore there is stubborn
and powerful support in Paris
for the firm-hand colonials.
But there are many French in
side and outside North Africa
who favor even more far reach
ing reforms than those propos
ed by the Faure government.
Among these French are those
wiho see only two alternatives
— significant home rule con
cessions or total loss of North,
Africa.
Separation of North Africa
from the French Union would
be a major disaster for France
It could lead to chaos inside
metropolitan France herself
Yet in the midst of the bitter
quarreling over what is needed
to pacify North Africa, time is
rapidly running out and Fra
nce’s authority continues to
slip in the pattern established
in Indochina. ® ;
Thie effects already are being
felt elsewhere in the West.
France’s troubles in Algeria
are gradually weakening links
that hold the chain of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organ

Jization together. When the Uni

discuss the Algerian question,]
France walked out. And there |
1 wias French bitterness against
'Greece, one of her NATO part
|ners. and other pro-Western
! nations for their role in the as
sembly vote.
The nations which voted a
gainst discussing Algeria be
came the target of bitterness
from the Arab world and that
section of the world which con
siders itself to have been abus
ed by colonialism. On both
sides of the issue, therefore,
the Soviet "Union has scored
victories for world communism
And now, virtually on the
eve of the Geneva foreign min
isters conference, France faces
a crisis and all the uncertainty
and insecurity that go with it.
Sudh a development must cer
tainly weaken the Western
front at a critical time, in the
face of the most determined
and sustained diplomatic offen
saves the communists have ever
attempted.
The L’ommiiorm radio tor ex
ample, is hailihlg the develop
ment in North Africa *and the
United Nations as “the defeat
of imperialism” and the begin
ning ctf a solid alignment of
the Asian and African world
on the side of the communist
bloc. That is too close to the
truth for the West to shrug it
off.

POLIO VACCINE WILL BE ’
HANDLED BY TERRITORY
JUNEAU: Under a proposed
Alaska polio vaccination plan
now being considered by the
U. S. Public Health Service,
the Alaska department of
health will purchase all polio
vaccine for the territory with
special funds made available
by congress. The announce
ment was made this week by
Dr. Charles R. Hayiman, pre
ventive medical services chief.
He said that since some vac
cine is already on hand the
plan is now being put into ef
fect in a few communities, as
formal approval from the US
PBS is anticipated. Vaccine
has ^already been supplied to
Ketchikan, including Annette
island and Hollis, and will
! shortly be sent to Petersburg,
Sitka. Wrangell, Juneau, Ha
ines, Sikagway, Amgoon, Yaku
tat and for patients and stud
ents at Mt. Edgecuimibe.
Outlining the plan Dr. Hay
! man said that in the unban
areas the Salk vaccine may be
| given only to children 5 thru
9 years of age, excluding those
school children who have re
ceived injections through the
National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis, and to preg
nant women.
After the territory has /been
covered with an initial sup
ply, elaoh community will be
given material for the second
injections. All vaccine will be
supplied without charge by the
Alaska Health department.
Those eligible for the vaccine
may receive it either through
their local health center where
no charge will be made fior its
administration, or through
their private physician who
may mlake a charge to cover
cost of administration. The
Polio Advisory committee rec
I omm ended that the service
charge should not exceed $2.50
per injection.
