...Dilemma. The U.S. must face up to the question of whether the Thieu government is becoming a roadblock to peace. The first part of the problem concerns the Communists: Will they deal with Thieu? They vow that there will never be peace so long as Thieu sits in the presidential palace. This position might change in the course of negotiations, but at present it does not seem likely. When the Communists talk of a coalition, they are not thinking of a coalition with Thieu, because to join one would be to recognize his legitimacy. The second part of the problem...
...conducted campaigns that promised something for everyone. Poher, the folksy Frenchman who in the short space of six weeks had come from the obscurity of the Senate to make a bid for Charles de Gaulle's vacated job, presented a 12-point program that amounted to a New Deal for France complete with the ringing promise to make telephones available to every home.* Pompidou promised only slightly less, and added the guarantee that his promises would be kept, thanks to the fact that only he commands the Gaullist majority in the National Assembly.

Last week Chrysler Corp. got a toehold by making a "general agreement" with Mitsubishi, Japan's second largest industrial corporation, to set up a joint company in which Chrysler would have a 35% share. The government in Tokyo will have to approve the deal, and is not likely to be quick about it. The two firms hope to collaborate on some research, then move on to marketing each other's cars in Japan and the U.S. Later, they might join in assembling Chrysler cars in Japan. Ford also started negotiating in earnest last week with Japan...
