Last week Socialist Premier Guy Mollet, attacked from all sides for failure of peace and absence of victory in Algeria, yielded to the uneasy conscience of metropolitan France by appointing a grandiosely designated Committee to Safeguard Individual Rights and Liberties. A week earlier another committee, appointed by the Radical Socialist Party for a similar purpose, had thought better of going to Algeria when Minister Resident Robert Lacoste warned that he would be forced to employ thousands of police to protect them from the French colons...

...Quai d'Orsay dutifully denounced the book as "the highest fantasy." French officials denied only one specific-that Ben-Gurion had flown to France for a private pre-ihvasion talk with Mollet. Among the assertions not denied: that the day Israel invaded Egypt three French destroyers protectively patrolled Israel's coast, three squadrons of French fighters and fighter-bombers were at Lydda Airdrome, and a French-not an Israeli-destroyer, the Kersaint, played a leading role in the shelling and capture of the Egyptian warship Ibrahim Awal off Haifa...
