Some light on the real motives and aims of the de Gaulle regime was offered February 26 by Secretary of State Jean de Brogiie. "We are carrying out & policy in Algeria and not a squabble over price," he told a’ press conference. "If this cooperation, founded on a free economy, equality and the liberty of the two partners, succeeds in all its scope, it will give cause for reflection among countries looking toward France for economic and social advancement. But if it fails, these countries can turn | towards other horizons to accelerate their advancement. This shows with what vigilance and what prudence our policy must be guided in this respect." — - - ay
With cold-blooded cynicism, this calculating practitioner of imperialist politics answered spécifically about the government's attitude toward Algeria's agrarian reform, an attitude which has no doubt struck many an unthinking landlord and capitalist as strangely out of character. In aiding Algeria, said de Gaulle's spokesman, France has been seeking to prevent the dangers of a revolution. | ei 3 a -
"There is a phenomenon of' restriction and contraction of needs against which Algeria must struggle if the country is to become © the market which it used to represent for French economy- Our policy in Algeria is a long-range one. It is a-work of patience — and of good faith which cannot immediately reveal the importance of its results." = ee Sete
