Why De Gaulle Urges U.S. to Get Out of Europe! - Herman L Hoeh - July 1962

Herman L Hoeh

Resentment of U. S. policies mounts in Europe. French President de Gaulle startles world by news conference in which he foresees United Europe ultimately breaking loose from U.S. alliance. Here is the significance of latest French move - and what's going on under cover in Europe. President de Gaulle has startled the English-speaking world by a demand that the United States eventually withdraw from Europe. He demanded United Europe be led by a new Franco-German alliance. Britain, he implied, might have no pan in it! The new Europe, De Gaulle declared, would be built on the ancient historical connection between France and West Germany which goes back to the days of the Old Roman Empire. It would become an alliance sufficiently powerful to "come to terms with the Soviet Union." German Chancellor Adenauer was quietly pleased at the French proposal. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
