Pleasant Iowa Friday evening december 26, 1958 by Cutter St Par Vee by mail $7.56 per jaw by George e. Sokolsky de Gaulle Quot la Esprit do France is not a fiction. This nation which rises out of its own flames to Shine again As the Sun of Europe is unique in its Quality not Only to survive which others have done but to show its greatest strength at its weakest moment. Five years ago France was a beaten nation beaten not Only by the external forces of War but by an inner fatigue so malignant As to be the despair of Europe a friends and the Hope of Europe s enemies. Not Only was a Quarter of the nation presumed to be in the hands of the enemy but so powerful were Moscow s servants in Paris Thoro. Dildos and their associates that they dragged toward them All the who thrive on a nation s misfortunes who devised a thousand Little tricks to put themselves in Power. So cheap ii a d become the premiership of franc that it was a bargain counter commodity. A a rut against All this sat and waited the personality of f Lane e. Charles de Gaulle he did not seek Power. He did not join in a Bingle political Compromise. He was a country gentleman one who lived far from the centers of greatness. He knew what France needed he also knew what France wanted and what was wanted was unworthy. Inflation excessive Leisure irresponsibility failure to produce dependence upon America for subsidies. Small things these frenchmen wanted while Mother France Lay sick More soul sick than body sick. But de Gaulle waited. To speak too soon would be to inflame the opportunities to appear too Early would raise the cry of Napoleon ism. Charles de Gaulle waited years and years he waited not to Rule France but to save France and to save Europe. O a a in the circumstances that faced France such a figure As Charles de Gaulle could Only be called when he was desperately needed the algerian crisis brought such a Day.

They gave their lives in a Long civil a for the preservation of France As Joan of arc had Given hers for the preservation of France. It is a strictly French concept. So in the end they culled upon de Gaulle and the vote was As close to unanimous As it is possible to get by any system of balloting Charles de Gaulle is no Napoleon Bonaparte who seized Power and held it by arms until he fell by arms he is no Boulanger who emerges to take Power and disappears he i not even a Louis Philippe who bargains Here and there to produce a kingdom.
