...F.L.N. side, the spokesman was Dr. Chawki Mostefai, 42, the general delegate of the F.L.N. to the Algerian Provisional Executive, which will superintend the July 1 referendum on the country's independence. Dr. Mostefai also found himself continually sandbagged by more relentless Moslem colleagues. When the accord was published, promising 1) amnesty for S.A.O. killers, and 2) enlistment of Europeans in the Force Locale, the new Algerian police, there was vigorous dissent from F.L.N. headquarters in Tunis. Vice Premier Mohammed ben Bella was against any deal with the S.A.O. Premier Benyoussef Benkhedda&3151;engaged in a private power struggle...
...regime has by no means committed itself to either side. There may even be an opportunity for Western influence here. North Vietnamese officials have hinted that the country might accept aid from the U.S. "with no strings attached."

On that basis, it was understandable: the 19th century was, in retrospect, not such a bad century, and even gunboat diplomacy had its virtues. What made the whole enterprise so offensive was India's past relentless posture of ethical superiority and its present hypocritical attempts to justify the invasion on moral grounds. India, argued Krishna Menon, was really defending itself because "colonialism is permanent aggression.'' Forgetting his manufactured threat of a potent Portuguese defending army, Nehru said: "The justification of this action is that...
