French Assembly Approves Restricted Home Rule for Algeria
Paris reports the French National Assembly approved two bills on confidence votes to grant partial home rule for Algeria after war and rejection of Moroccan Tunisian mediation offers. Bills keep Algeria within France with Paris controlling key policies while elections would include Europeans and Muslims with safeguards for French minority. Rebels, led by FLN, criticized Paris for imposing its own solution and rejecting independence. The premier Felix Gaillard defended France’s stance and refused to negotiate with FLN, while United Nations discussions allegedly sought Arab support to push a resolution. France maintains the war as an internal matter and rejects U.N. jurisdiction.
