Word from France that she
will wait U. N. assanobly action
on African problems before de
ciding wftiat ito do about her
general relationship with the
organization slightly clarifies
her original position.
It means she will not take
part in most of this year’s as
sembly work.
Foreign minister Pinay said
when 'his delegation walked out
of the assembly that its return
as well as France’s over-all
membership in the organiza
tion had 'become matters un
der consideration. Now he inda
cated that consideration will
not toe complete until after the
assembly acts on the anti- col
onial resolutions which were
put on the agenda under French
protest and caused the walkout
Unless there is a shift of sen
timent among the delegations,
that means France will be out
of the major discussions now
(booked, which include the pre
sent atoms-tfor-peace debate,
expected to take another week,
and disarmament.
There was a movement after
France’s walkout to save some
face for her by moving up the
colonial debate to follow that
on altoims. Some delegates thou
ght a routine disposition of the
African questions might be
achieved so France could come
back.
Tne movement man t get very
far. Hie came Asian-Airican
nation* which are the prime
mover* against France have ach
ieved * certain portion of their
objective on that point, and
are anxious to get the disarm
ament discussions going. They
are expected to get their way.
So France is absent from the
work! forum at a time when
the •bakiness of her govern-!
mental *y»tetn has been newly t
advertised by the African trou
Me. The debate over her inher
ent strength or lack of strength
as a great nation has been re
sumed, with 'Frenchmen them-1
selves actively participating. |
Her own president is saying
that a better balance must foe
established between the erceu
five branch and the presently
overriding powers of the nation
al assembly.
Bu-t the crux of the matter
lies not in a strong French gov
eminent, nor in the time needed j
for strengthening North Aifrica (
politically, and France eeonom;
jcally, for separation. The crux I
lies in the spirit of the approach
Until now, France has been
seeking piecemeal compromises
to prolong her power, under
bitter 'political pressure from
the French colonists and busi
ness interests across the Medit
erranean.
Real solutions can come only
when the true mutuality of in
terest can ibe made the chief
consideration. Then France
will have a chance to do what
the British have done in India.

ELKS LAUNCH PROGRAM ,
AGAINST CEREBRAL
PALSY IN ALASKA
First of the longiplanned
mobile and portable units for
the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks program of home
treatment of cerebral palsy has
been ordered, Orville Paxton,
district deputy grand exalted
ruler of Alaska, east, has an
nounced.
Bob Lewis, of Anchorage, is
chairman of the territorial
wide Elks cerebral palsy com
mission. The program, more
than a year under discussion,
was given approval at the an
nual territorial convention of
the lodges in (Seward recently.
The significance of the deci
sion to go ahead after the Elks
palsy fund had reached $60,000
well be far reaching — it will
inaugurate a successful techni
que for treating cerebral palsy
in Alaska, a technique which
has been adopted by Elks lod
ges of 17 states and has proven
most satisfactory.
Basis of this program is to
brinlg treatment for cerebral
palsy into homes, where under
approved and competent thera
pists, the comparatively simple
yet effective programs Of aid
are carried on.
The state of California is
served by 11 of the Elks mobile
units. Washington has five,
plans more. Seventeen states in
all have these home treatment
programs supplied by Elks lod
ges.
Mr. Lewis said the known
case load in Alaska was at
least 150. He expects the mob
ile therapists will discover
many more in families who
were reluctant to bring the suf
fers to treatment centers.
The cost cif purchasing and
operating the first mobile unit
including the salary of a thera
pist, will be about! $18,000 a
year. In addition will be the
cost and operation of two port
able units.. As rapidly as the
fund grows, additional units
art to be added and therapists
employed. It is the aim of the
Territorial Elks cerebral palsy
comupission to raise another
$50,000 during the coming year
The Elks commission will
work closely with the territor
ial health department and oth
er qualified agencies and all
cases will be certified for treat
ment by these official groups.
Charles Kidd has been nam
ed chairman of the Sitka Elks
cerebral palsy committee.
