Technical Talks
By W. R. (Doc) HOUNSELL
Most of us hitherto, have
taken Americanism and “Anti-
Americanism’ ’ as harmless
jokes, world-wide and very
amusing. This would be fine
and dandy if all the other
countries in the world could
think the same; but this is not
very likely because some are
So weak and so poor, while
America is so rich and so
Strong.
(Britain and France are tra-
ditionally glaring at one anoth-
er from opposite sides of the
fence. France is highly critical
of everything America does in
Viet Nam, while Britain en-
dorses Uncle Sam’s policies
there. Because of her close
American friendship, Britain is
about to abandon all of her
nuclear national forces while
France is jealously guarding
and developing hers.
The irony 6f this situation is
that, outside df politics, the
British people are friendly with
the French people, and both
are very friendly with the
American people. Parisians
spend their holidays in Lon-
don and vice versa. A French
painter’s reputation, as an ex-
ample, is not made at home in
Paris any more, but far away
across the sea in New York.
But, alas; it is not what peo-
ple think that counts; only
what governments and dicta-
tors decide to do.
Then there are those ancient
events that Still rankle in the
European mind. France and
Britain were once the world’s
leading powers, with great co-
lonial empires and an unsur-
passed heritage of literature,
science and art. So they find
it hard to adjust to the fact
that today the really big pow-
ers are the United States, the
Soviet Union and China.
The French people, although
uneasy about America, are
very glad to benefit from the
great American market, not
only for cosmetics and cos-
tumes, but for their art Work,
writings, books, ballets and
acting. Paris was a sad place
j Indeed when President Kennedy
was assassinated. The people
had tears in their eyes as they
'passed by those sacred places
I Where so many Americans gave
1 up their lives for the salvation
'of France. The average French--
1 man looks upon America as
■ something very distant, very
1 strange and very big.
I Britain is so small and so
- smug that it is hard for Britons
to realize just how strange and
big America really is. In Eng-
' land they go to Woolworth’s
sdore, eat Heinz baked beans
land Kelloggs com flakes. They
‘ ride in Ford cars on Firestone
I tires and put an American tig-
' er in their tank. They watch
j American movies, read Ameri-
can books and magazines and
are quite concerned over Amer-
ican politics. They are literal-
ly surrounded by Americanism
and some are still weeping for Refugio Timely Remarks, Thurs., June 2, 1966—Page 3
Senator Goldwater. -
But the enmity between
France and Britain is of long
standing, and a century Of open
warfare is part df their history.
France still has memories of
Moscow, Waterloo, India, Af-
rica, Quebec, Louisiana arid
Indo-China, and we must not
be surprised at her spiteful at-
titude. Then because France
received no help from Amer-
ica in Indo-China she was de-
feated. We can expect no help
from France in Viet Nam,
either within or without the
U.N.
irate. Then he vetoed Britain
out of the European Common
Market, and thus destroyed the
only competition that might
have been large enough to
challenge the great power of
America. Yet he appears
friendly on the surface and
rides that new British hover-
craft which skims the waves
of the Straits of Dover, bring-
ing France and England geo-
graphically closer together.
'Nothing can now stop Amer-
icanism from spreading into
General de Gaulle is the big the hearts of the human race
monkey-wrench that wrecks the: everywhere. It is about time
delicate political machinery
designed for the peace of the
world. He withdrew France
from N.A.T.O. and made that
organization too weak to ope-
these hard-headed leaders lis-
tened to the citizens of their
respective countries. It is about
time they began renovating and
strengthening whatever na-
tional alliances we may have
left. In our war with commu-
nism let us remember that if
we have as much as one bil-
lion people on our ride, there
are at least two billion on the
other.
A great advantage of wood
over metal for many uses is
that wood does not reflect heat*
