WHY DE GAUGLE BEHAVES AS I-~E DOES
Indeed, many U.S, capitalist spokesmen-.
edi~'wors, politicians in Congress, and others---are
getting quite a head of steam
over President de'Gaulle's policies . De
Gaulle, it '~.is said, is a man obsessed
with hatred of everything Anglo-Saxon,
Ccangxessman Pucinski is convinced that
"dn Gaulle is a sick man," "His attacks
cn ?;he United States, his attacks on Englat2d,
his attacks on Canada, his attacks
cn the efforts of England to become a
member of the Common Market, his anti-
°.'Lbri sic outbuurs s," r~ucinski added, "all
indicate that here is a man who has lost
all sense of perspective and all sense of
j ~.dgment . "
