...determine that destiny. Personally, I think future solutions will be based, because that is in the nature of things, upon the courageous personality of Algeria and upon its close association with Metropolitan France. I believe also that this ensemble, completed by the Sahara, will link itself for the common good with the free states of Morocco and Tunisia. Sufficient unto the day is the burdensome evil thereof.
