De Gaulle Pushes 'Independence' from Washington
PARIS—(UPI)—President Charles de Gaulle's tumultuous welcome in Mexico last week will make him more obstinate to deal with than ever.
It will confirm again his rooted conviction that a policy of "independence" from Washington pays off.
Not that De Gaulle himself ever doubted the Mexican state visit would be still another glittering personal triumph for him.
But it was something of an experiment—a sort of dry run for other trips later.
Among these are a planned four-to-six week's grand tour of the rest of Latin America in October and November, and possible trips in 1965 to Africa, Russia, Pakistan, India and the Far East.
Everything points now to the fall tour of Latin America blossoming into a grand triumphal progress that will boost the general's own standing—not to mention French
prestige—throughout the non-committed world.
So, though De Gaulle took care to avoid giving "anti-American" overtones to his Mexican visit and will do the same for his fall tour of Latin America, the implication is clear for all to see.
It is that he has something to offer the non-committed nations, including those in the United States' own backyard—a policy of "independence" from Washington while still getting economic and technical
aid.
The Mexicans evidently liked what they heard from De Gaulle. Presumably other Latin Americans will, too.
So De Gaulle can be expected over the next two years—much longer if he runs for a second term in 1965—to pursue with fresh gusto the "independent" line which has proved an increasing cause of headaches to Washington since he came to power.
