De Gaulle Succeeds In Twin Asian Goals
By Phil Newsom
By Phil Newsom UPI Foreign News Analyst
UPI Foreign News Analysis. The air of jubilation and confidence emanating from President Charles de Gaulle's Elysse Palace was taking on an almost physical force.
Within the six-nation European Common Market he successfully had beaten down West German objections and forced agreement on a farm policy which promised to benefit French farmers and relieve the pressure of agricultural surpluses.
The breaks were going his way, and his cup was running over.
BREAKING Ahead lay the rosy vista of De Gaulle visits to Mexico next month and later visits to Argentina, Brazil. Ecuador and Colombia in the fall.
AS FOR THE world and France's place in it, especially as it concerned the United States, he had moved back into a place of prominence in Asia without the firing of a shot or the use of a soldier by the simple expedient of granting diplomatic recognition to Red China.
matic recognition The Nationalist Chinese government of Chiang Kai-shek then removed a situation which might have caused some embarrassment by breaking relations with France.
A POSSIBLE portent of things to come was a suggestion from Panama, deeply embroiled in a quarrel with the United States, that Panama might also welcome attention from De Gaulle in the form of French economic assistance.
De Gaulle's operating base was France's great prosperity and the suggestion that French aid, previously channeled almost exclusively to former French possessions, might now also be extended elsewhere.
We also be concerned.
In Asia, for example, he pursued twin goals. One was De Gaulle's avowed intent to restore the glory of France. The other, somewhat lower on the idealistic scale, was to open up Asian markets to French industrial goods faced with increasing competition and problems of over-production.
RED CHINA had little that France could use and less money. But she could sell to the under-developed nations of the French African Community and thereby earn the francs which could be spent in France on industrial products.
In Southeast Asia, the twin goals became one.
Despite the shock with which the United States greeted De Galle's decision to recognize Red China, it was part of a plan long in the making and one which began to take form last August when De Galle called for a neutral and unified Viet Nam. The idea quickly gained adherents.
North Viet Nam, under severe economic strain and desperately in need of rice from the south, reated enthusiastically. Cambodia, when it decided to reject U.S. aid, turned to France and received a warm reception.
"WE ARE convinced that only France can build a bridge between East and West," declared Cambodia's Prince Sihanouk, who has proposed a union between Cambodia and a unified Viet Nam.
unified Viet Nam In Laos, French representatives have been equally active, promoting a state visit of the King to Paris and a long-term program of economic aid.
aid.
De Gaulle, premising his ideas on a belief the United States eventually must withdraw militarily from Southeast Asia, describes Red China as a force in being. So, undoubtedly, is De Gaulle.
