...declaration will lose hundreds of thousands of voters for the French Communists. But the smaller the party gets, the more dangerous it will become. The immediate results will be an intensification of active opposition and the hastening to office of a strong anti-Communist Government of which the likeliest leader is De Gaulle. Now the Communist party in France moves definitely into final opposition-until it can assume sole power. The strength of an anti-Communist government here depends on the vigor and speed with which declared U.S. policies are applied in Western Europe...
