Four years ago, when Communist China poured shout and shell on the Nationalist-held offshore islands of Quemoy and Matsu, President Eisenhower came to a decision never publicly announced: U.S. force would be used to help fight off invasion of Quemoy and Matsu by Red China. Last week, with shout and shell raining again (see FOREIGN NEWS), the U.S. saw Quemoy and Matsu as being of even greater importance than in 1954.

This exultant shout marked the emotional peak of De Gaulle's 13,000-mile, ten-day campaign trip to persuade the 40 million inhabitants of France's African empire to vote for his new constitution-and thereby accept membership in a new "community of free states" led by France.

Beirut papers appeared with great blank spaces and offending dispatches were scissored out of foreign newspapers. When U.S. Ambassador Robert McClintock pointedly observed that it would be nice to read an uncensored copy of the New York Times, Lebanon's President Chamoun politely offered to let McClintock have his copy when he had finished with...
