MEANING PROVES DIFFERENT De Gaulle Chose Such Words Before... | By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst General de Gaulle does not always mean what his audience thinks he means when he says: "France sees you, France lis- tens to you, France loves you," or "France understands you." These were the words he used when he addressed the rebel- lious French settlers in Algeria soon after he took over the French government in 1958. It was their rebellion that brought him to power and they thought he was promising to support their cause and resist the na- tive di ds for ind d looting Negro youths rampage through Pontiac, Mich., a city! Instead he moved with decisive- ness to end French rule over Algeria, turning the settlers into refugees. eral de Gaulle also dismantled the French empire, he has used the same phrase but addressed it to the Negroes. And indeed, France has poured considerable sums of money into her former African colonies, more per capi- ta than any other developed na- tion gives. The aid is undoubted- ly beneficial to the African na- tions but it is given with scru- pulous attention to French self- interest. African. nations that have strayed outside the limits of de Gaulle's grand design have been cut off without a penny, In | some cases, stance, stark choice between loose as- In Black Africa, where Geng sociation with the French com- munity and complete divorce. When the Guineans opted for the divorce, the French with- drew pfactically overnight, tak- ing even the telephone receiv- ers along with them, and above all taking away the school teachers who were the back- bone of the Guinean education system. And yet, de Gaulle is the most determined champion of French cultural influence which is exercised best through teachers.
