Supposecl Victory Of French_ Colonial Dieharcls ls Costly

, By ALAN’ HARVEY’ Cnaadian Press Staff Wrlt,er;\ The latest French military ac-

tion in North Africa will be

"widely regarded as another vic-

tory for colonial diehards in Al- giers over a weak-central gov- ernment in Paris. _

If so, it may be an expensive victory. The bombing of the Trun- lsian border village of Sakiet Sidi Yorusef, with a casualty roll of some 75 killed and 80 wounded, may be sufficiently dramatic and have wide enough international implications to act siramply upon French public opinion, hitherto surprisingly apathetic.

Suspicious will be entertained that once again the colonial ad- ministration in Algeris has acted without full authority from Paris, and" there will be little sympathy in other than partisan quarters for the ’ French claim that the Algerian war would be over if the rebels could not oounton Tun-

- isian suppont.

POLITICAL KEY , Among outside commentators, a magority view seems to be that the rebels-move about =fireely in Tunisia simply because the Tuni- sian armed forces are too weak to do anything about them. At the same time, Tunisian opinion is overwihelmiuigly Iympatlietic to the insurgents. The Algerian war tainted irn

November, 1954. Since then, it has been the key to French pol- itics. It caused the downfall» of

-the only dynamic post-war gov-

emment France has had, with the defeat in February, 1955, of the left-centre coalition headed by Pierre Mendes-Fra.nce.

A year later—Feb. 6, 1956 a de- cisive point was reached in the

/history of French North Africa.

Guy Mollet, the Socialist prime minister, landed in Algierson a visit and was promptly pelted

with rocksgand rotten tomatoes,

hurled by a crowd of 10,000 an- gry settlers. POLICY OF FORCE

Mollet, greatly impressed, dis- missed the moderate General Georges Catroux,~only just‘ ap-

pointed minister-resident in Al-

geria, and replaced. him with Robert Lacoste, a Socialist be- liever in a policy of force--la main forte to—“pacify” 'a col- ony that many Frenchmen have long counted part of France.

Mendes-France, chief opponent, of repressive tactics, and the man who had ended the fighting in Tunisia, was branded in some quarters as a traitor, a defeatist and a liquidatoir of French colon- ial greatness. ’

The turn taken by. French pol- icy Feb. 6, 1956, coincided with a new mood in public opinion. A

LOST GRANDUER

The new belligerence was bred of frustration and’ exasperation, of a feeling that France had been “kicked aroun 9.’ long enough and that Algeria -was the last dicth. Protests came from French in- tellectuals but their crisis of con- science made a tiny sound amid the’ medly of voices committed to’ retrieving Fraucefs lost “gran- duer.” '

In the las-t few months, publi- cation of books critical of the Al- gerian war by such writers as P. J. Simon, Alexander Werth and Jean-Jacques Servan-Schrei- ‘bet, coupled with hostile com- ments by La Croix, a publica- tion —of the French Roman Cath- olic Church, may have induced a gradual change in sentiment.

The weekend military action in Tunisia is certain to produce a greater shock in France than comparable action a year ago.

Expect Lower Interest Rates

the prime bank rate—or the rate which banks charge for the best commercial loans.

Other rates could be expected

to adjust themselves accordingly. In November the prime rate dropped from 5% per cent to 5% per cent. The downward changes are a reflection of the general reduc- tion in interest rates which have been taking place.

Long Term Gas Prices Seen As Going Higher

CALGARY (CP)The— Borden

commission on energy was told

Monday industries will avoid Al- -ber-ta unless natural gas is avail- able at low rates.

The seven-man body was ad- vised however, that gas rates «alone are not a deciding figurein industrial location. While rates are likely to increase under com- petition for supplies, decisions to locate in the province will not be based primarily on the cost of gas as a fuel.

A survey by a Califiorrnia re- search institute predicted that while present energy require- ments«in the province are mainly gas, alternative resources such as coal and fuel oil “will play a more important role’’ in supplying fu- ture industrial consiimers.

The survey was part of a joint brief presented to the commis- sion by.Alberta’s two major gas utilities, Northwestern“ Utilities Limited of Edmonton and Cana- dian Western Natural Gas Com- pany Limited of Calgary.

Critic Retires

HOLLYWOOD (AP) ~ Forty- five years is a long time to be reporting and reviewing the movies. But as Edwin Schailert brings his lengthy stint to a close «this week, he still has the en- thusiasm of a cub reporter.

“Does the movie business have a future?” says the retiring drama editor of the Los Angeles Times and dean of -the Holly- wood press corps. “I’m sure of it. The picture business has had troubles before and managed to survive them. They’ll still be making miovies--for one medium or another—inany more years.”

Ed Schailert and his vivacious partner in life and covering Hol- lywood, Elza, have been on that beat since anyone can remem- ber. Ed’s career ranges from the inimitable Mae Busch (“an exciting person, always good for an interview”) to the ir'rep:res- sible Jayne Mansfield (“an in- teresting personality”). STARTED IN. 1913

A largeman with a kindly air unusual in a critic, Ed began

the embryo film business around 1913. He started writing a movie column in the days when such was a novelty in newspapers. I asked him what covering studios was like in those days.

“I could do it by streetcar,” he replied. “The town was a lot smaller then, and there was an intimate, friendly atmosphere -that is lacking today. You were on personal terms with all the stars, and it was unheard of for a publicity man to be present at an interview.” (The ever- pnesent flack is standard equip- ment today.) . Ed has known all the big

distributing may increase prices within 20 years and industries‘ will find gas less attractive.

D. K.‘ Yorath, president of the two companies, told the royal commission there is a growing

concern that rising field prices

and costs may lose Ira-tura_l gas its position as the lowest cost fuel -for industry in the province. In most locations, gas now under- sells caol and other fuels.

Chou coupled the bid with a sharp attack against the United States for its “two-Chinas’.’ pol- icy and its “rigid and hostile _at-I titude” on all problems involving Chinese-American relations.

Chou was interrupted re- paetedly by the applause of the },200 delegates to China’s parlia- ment—the National Peop1e_’s C_on- gress—as he delivered his first major speech on international af- fairs in almost a year.

The Chinese leader threw his support behind Russian proposals for a summit conference and ac- cused the United States of “creat- ,_, ing all sorts of excuses to ob- struct East-West negotiations.”
