French cheered by Big Three action
PARIS, France (UP) – The Big Three’s announcement that France will participate in the new five-power Foreign Ministers’ council was considered in Paris today as a triumph for Gen. Charles de Gaulle.
It was considered a concession to Gen. de Gaulle’s demands for France’s recognition on an equal basis with the other major powers in future world reorganization plans.
To the French, this announcement was regarded as the Big Three’s most important decision.
It was believed to have brought France one step nearer her goal of complete rehabilitation as one of the world’s leading powers.
However, French sources indicated that French enthusiasm would have been greater if France, herself, had been invited to participate in the discussions.
The second feature in the communiqué most welcomed by Paris was the passage which virtually outlawed the Franco government in Spain. Although French-Spanish relations have improved somewhat since Pierre Laval’s expulsion from Spain, French opinion still remains hostile to Madrid.
Many French observers believe that the Big Three’s slap at Generalissimo Franco was strong enough to cause his early overthrow.
The Big Three’s blueprint for Germany was approved generally, although it was considered as perhaps too lenient.
The reparations section of the communiqué created the most uneasiness. France has not yet been invited to join the Reparations Commission. There was a growing fear in official French quarters that in the final carving up of the spoils, France won’t get her full share.
