Within Europe itself, NATO's policymakers confront a historic new fact that would have seemed incredible at NATO's birth in 1949. Only 15 years after Hitler's death, a new German army has taken its place as the pivot of Western defense in Europe. With half a million French troops tied down in Algeria, the Germans are already the strongest European force on the Continent.

Elementary life situations confront even the child with the opportunity to reason out the good to be done and the evil avoided. For instance, says Father Murray, citing an example from St. Thomas, "To know the meaning of 'parent' and of 'disrespect' is to know a primary principle of the natural law, that disrespect to parents is evil, intrinsically and antecedent to any human prohibition."

With the nation behind him, De Gaulle can then confront the disgruntled army and the rebellious European settlers of Algeria with a "provisional"-and primarily Moslem-Algerian executive, legislature and judiciary. Stage 3, for which no precise plan exists, would find the new "Algerian Algeria" deciding whether to retain ties with France or go its separate...
