...Algerian war, but De Vosjoli suspected that "other, possibly sinister, forces were the real reason for the inaction." He leaves open to speculation whether it was inside work by Soviet agents, suspicion that the CIA was using the affair to smoke-screen its own activity in France, or mere Gaullist pique...
Chief beneficiary of the new bloom is likely to be France, which ships more than 20% of its exports to West Germany. After matching its leading customer in economic cutbacks, France found itself with unemployment at a record Gaullist high of 450,000. To offset this, the government plans to inject $600 million into the economy during the year, while continuing to boost exports. Now that West Germany is back on its feet, the export business promises to brighten the French employment picture as the country's economy moves closer to the 5% growth rate it has been reaching...

The government indicted the anti-Gaullist weekly Minute on charges of "offending" De Gaulle in an article that described, in scientific terms and without mentioning names, the symptoms of paranoia...

Hardly famous for their international cooperation, the French acted chiefly in response to internal pressures-but that will not diminish the result.

...super powers, the U.S. and Russia: "to take his prizes while the big antagonists are deadlocked-witness the oil deals France is busy making in the Middle East." The French President makes no secret of the fact that he considers the U.S. his best target. In fact, Gaullist logic makes the U.S. out to be the necessary target for France in the interest of world harmony "by contending that American power is dominant in the world, most secure in its seat, and most threatening to small nations...
