De Gaulle Called 'Monster' By AUFS Representative
A representative of the American Universities Field Staff yesterday called French President Charles de Gaulle a "monster" and questioned the longevity and future usefulness of the present French government.
"DE GAULLE WAS the man to solve the Algerian problem," he said. "But the sooner De Gaulle leaves after the Algerian problem is over the better, because he is standing in the way of such things as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the United Nations, nuclear testing, and the entire political feeling now in Europe.
Charles F. Gallagher, AUFS representative in Northern Africa, discussed the present situation in Algeria at the Faculty Forum.
"He (De Gaulle) is a monster," Mr. Gallagher said, "and as far as I'm concerned must go.
"There is no future for Europe with a man like De Gaulle around," Mr. Gallagher added.
He said he doubted that the present French government, the Fifth Republic, will continue in power. Mr. Gallagher said it was only in power to solve the Alzerian problem.
"Once De Gaulle leaves I doubt the present French government institutions would fit any other man," Mr. Gallagher said.
HE SAID THERE is a new danger,
a new kind of fascism in France.
Mr. Gallagher suggested three possible results of the agreement.
This might come about, he said,
with the possible return of many
French now in Algeria as a result
of the cease fire last Monday.
He said the settlement might be made to stick despite the many problems. He added that there is "about a 25 per cent chance of the establishment of a de facto government in Algeria with the possible withdrawal of the French troops to make the settlement effective.
"This would be a harsh, revolutionary secular state which will have drastic economic problems which must be solved quickly," he said.
THE THIRD PROBABILITY is that approximately 400,000 Europeans will leave Algeria, But, Mr. Gallagher said, "co-existence would be difficult because of the past bloodshed."
The speaker stressed that he is not sure what is going to happen and that it is hard to tell now.
Another probability necessitates the postulating of the existence of an Algerian state to operate the country.
"There is no reason for Algeria to be friendly with the West and I don't expect it to be," he said. "But Algeria is not overly friendly with the East either.
"The only country I've heard them
(Algerian leaders) express admiration for is Yuzolsavia," he said.
Mr. Gallagher was asked what he thought the United States' position will be.
An education official in the U.S. State Department will speak on ideological conflict in the Middle East at 4 p.m. Monday in 205 Flint Hall.
"THE U.S. WILL inevitably help Algeria but I don't think it should try to do anything for almost five years, until the problem is further along in its settlement and organization," he said.
Mr. Gallagher has been studying Arab society since 1951 and has visited the area for extended stays. He will appear in several classes before leaving next Wednesday.
State Dept. Official To Discuss Mid-East
The official is Philip W. Ireland, who is the brother of H. A. Ireland, professor of geology at KU. He is chief of a State Department unit which is concerned with Fulbright, Smith-Mundt and other foreign exchange programs.
Mr. Ireland's talk is sponsored by the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information and the political science department.
