Newt AflytS end Service Union Trnst Building Washington D C that highly acton thn Smlthaonian Institution discussed thn possibility of o relationship between sun spots and wars It was carefully explained that sun spots which am really great explosions on the sun's surface affected thn weather on thn earth and frequently bad weather in turn affected the dispositions of human beings and might conceivably render national leaders loss amenable to reason and morn likely to get their countries into trouble At first glance that seems rather but thn tact that a clash of personalities can affect thn course of nations today almost as much as It did when people (ought at thn whim of a king has been brought out strikingly in relations There isn't much Question tl)at the common Interests of France and the United States would be better served If one Franklin Roosevelt could "get along" better with one Charles De Gaulle Of course It Is only fair to say that there are others who don't "get along" with the tall handsome and aristocratic French general It Is no secret Gen De Gaulle that one Josef' Stalin although he arranged a highly advantageous treaty with France including some even more advantageous private understanding with De Gaulle had no desire to invite him to Yalta Gaulle differBut the Roosevelt-Dences seem to be recurrent and Just when everybody thought ’after the latter's visit to Washington when he was understood to have given his colleagues In France the Impression that the visit was highly satisfactory to him came the answer "I regret" to Roosevelt’s "mpondez-irou- s s’il vous plais" and the meeting on the President's cruiser oil Algiers did not take place IFNU Sonin year ago tlflc organization Etiquette Potee Difficult Problem In diplomatic circles It has been carefully explained that De Gaulle could not accept an invitation from a peregrinating president to call upon him in French territory which It was explained was a sort of "come down and have a picnic with me in your backyard I’m too busy to call on you in your parlor" To which American diplomatic circles explained: It wasn't an invitation to De Gaulle to come to’Al giers which Is French territory but an invitation to call on the President aboard a U S warship which Is American territory was the reply but the chief of a great power Indeed an empire cannot be expected to be treated any better than the rulers of such minor domains as Arabia Egypt or Ethiopia though they be (Roosevelt enter tained the gentlemen earlier) There the discussion bogged down in mutual chagrin with all but two of the leading French newspapers (one conservative and one communist) insisting that De Gaulle was right and the apologists tor Roosevelt explaining that the President could not undertake what probably would have amounted to a visit of state and a triumphal tour of France when he had a war to win It was also recalled that one thing Mr Roosevelt prides himself en avoiding is making the mistakes Wilson did Wilson received a wild ovation In France and Italy the peace conference and suffered the results of a most painful reaction afterward ltow great a part Roosevelt’s failure to pay a visit to De Gaulle in Paris played in motivating the general’s refusal or if it were the chief cause how much was personal pique on the part of De Gaulle and how much a feeling that his nation had been slighted It is Impossible BARBS Indiana swapped a bora for 15 cartons of cigarettes Apparently he would rather bum up the carpet than the road A farmer In The German hav a new rocket that look like a stovepipe Well they hav thrown up everything la but th kitchen sink and the sponge— th Utter is overdue Commentator to say My own impression garnered from conversations with persons thoroughly familiar with the French attitude is that "difficulties’ were expected to arise in relations the moment it became clear that France was not invited to participate in the counsels of the Big Three It was not expected that the role her armies re able to play would make her eligible to Join the military councils at Yalta but the French were ardent- ly desirous of having a place at the general negotiations which made up the second part of the parleys General De Gaulle was in no mood when he received the President’s invitation to brook what he considered a further slight It was clear on the other hand that the President felt he had sound practical reasons for omitting any visit to Paris before the San Francisco meeting He also felt there were sound practical reasons for a conversation with De Gaulle He said there were a number of points that had to be cleared up which required French action before the United Nations meeting could be held Indeed imagine he felt that he was showing especial regard to France when he offered to review the accomplishments at Yalta personally for De Gaulle FDR Comment $ On Prlma Donnat That is supposed to account for the extemporaneous remarks he inserted In his report to congress about "prlma donnas" Those remarks which were universally Interpreted as applying to De Gaulle came as a distinct shock and Immediately afterward Senator Brewster publicly labeled them "Injudicious" I was following the text of the official release In tht house radio gallery as the President spoke and had noted the many departures which he tossed off as familiar asides and which helped to give his talk the Intimate note he desired But I was startled at what he said the text as it dealt with following an agreement with Yugoslavia He read the sentence "We hope that it is in the process of fulfillment" and then he looked up and with Just a touch of what verged on sarcasm in his voice remarked "But It la Jiot only that fut In some other places we have to remember there are a great number of prlma donnas in the world all who wish to be heard Before anything will bedone we may have va little delay while we listen to more prime donnas" That startled me as I said but! must say I did not at first think he could That mean De Gaulle seemed impossible Howover as others mentioned it I began to take it tor granted tor I knew that until the procedure of voting as agreed upon at Yalta was approved by France the agreement could not be announced There were other things upon which France had to be consulted In advance of the meeting as well The French ambassador who was seated in the diplomatic gallery no sign whatever that he showed was affected by the words and later he la said to have told a friend that it was hardly likely that the prlma donna reference could have been meant to apply to France since the President had completed hia comment on what disposition of French Interests had been made and had moved on to another topic Yugoslavia Thai of eourse is a good alibi And it is necessary that there be an alibi tor I am convinced that had there been even unofficial admission that the President was hitting at De Gaulle a really difficult situation would arise It Is known that although many people consider the general what the French caU "difficile" the French De Gaulle that and his do not call friends and admirers are warm in their loyalty and would instantly resent any unfavorable comment on his conduct No serious difficulties are expected to arise between the United States and France but some of their common troubles in the past show that there is much difference between foreign relations bolster them with protocol as you will and personal relations aftenall Agricultural Tools Rationing Called Off But War
