France Would Be Better
Off Without De Gaulle
In all of my 37 years in the newspaper profession, I have
never come across a more stupid act that Gen. Charles de
Gaulle of France attacking the United States dollar. At-
he knows nothing about economics. He knows nothing to
speak of about the gold standard. Least of all the American
dollar.
All he is today is a meddling old man, and the free
world would be better off if he were to cast his lot with
the angels.
De Gaulle is upsetting Canada by meddling with the pop
ulation of French descent, urging on them independence
which would not be to their best interests in this situation.
France will be a lot better off when De Gaulle is only
a nightmarish memory.
If the United States put a ban on tourist travel to France,
it might serve to shock the Parisians into a world of reality.
France couldn’t afford the loss. But France could afford the
loss of Charles de Gaulle.
County,
Red Cross
Agree
Mr. Emmett Lee, Clayton
County Red Cross Advisory
Chairman and Mr. Clayton
Christopher, Civil Defense
Director for the county, this
week signed an agreement
for their respective organi
zations outlining responsi
bilities for ARC-CD efforts
in disaster operations. The
purpose of the guide is to
make possible more effective
cooperation between the two
groups and to prevent mis
understanding, confusion or
duplication of efforts during
an operation.
According to Grady Lind
sey. Clayton Disaster Chair
man, Red Cross is responsi
ble for extending assistance
to individuals and families
in need as a result of nat
ural disasters and for pro
viding immediate supplies
of food, clothing, shelter,
medical and nursing or hos
pital care for a mass opera
tion or for individuals as
needed. Food service will
also be extended to civil de
fense and other rescue
workers helping at the scene
of a disaster when normal
facilities are not available.
"Further assistance to aid
those without sufficient re
sources to reestablish them
selves may include food,
clothing and maintenance;
repair or rebuilding of own
er-occupied dwellings; the
provision of essential house
hold furnishings, of medical,
nursing and hospital care
and of occupational supplies
and equipment,” he added.
Those serving under Mr.
Lindsey on the Disaster
Committee include W. W.
Amis, Jonesboro; Ernest
if nr rat Jark TFm Jr
and
tacking U. S. business men who have
business interests in France, and at
tacking Great Britain's proposed en
try in the Common Market.
Who saved De Gaulle’s skin in the
First World War? Why, Britain and
the United States. He sought sanc
tuary—and it was granted—in Great
Britain. American armed forces saved
France in World War I, and surely
again in World War 11. Saved De
Gaulle once again as well. And Great
Britain helped.
But the main idea about De Gaulle
is that his career has been military;
