Our Aprll issue of Foreign Affairs went astray and, local bookshops being of no help, it was only last week that we were able to borrow a copy. 2. In tm.t issue, as you will have noticed, there is an article entitled "Atlantic Relationships and Nuclear Problems - a French View" by de Rose. , 3. The principal theme of the article is the recpirement for two loci of strategic nu.c lear and of independent decision in the Western Alliance in order that the peculiar security problem of Europe may be met. That problem is held to be the possibility of Soviet miscalculation about the automaticity of the American strategic nuclear commitment to the defence of Europe which could ar.i. se as a l'lesult of the factors of geography and the variety of means by which Europe can be attacked by land. 4. Internal , Circulation /)-/ ,q Distribution to Posts r 3 The au thor is described as 11MEI!lber of the Boaro, Insti tut des Etudes Strategi.ques, Paris". For those \-ho have not alreaqy recognized him, however, we should point out that he was for a number of years Director of the Service des Pactes (roughly ecpivalent; to DL (1) ) and after that successor to .Ambassador Baudet as Civil Depuq to the Chef d'Etat Major General Defense Nationa.le (an organization which, until its abolition more than a year SfP, was the counterpart to our Chiefs of Staff Comnittee). He currently seems to be employed in scientific affairs, having been the Deputy Head of Delegation to the Science conference in Geneva and Head of tm Delegation to the Paris ani Lcndon European Space Teleconmunications conferences. 5. His article is W>rth stucying as a practical guide to the French governnent 1 s approach to the questions dealt with therein. It is we believe as auth.ori tati V'e an exegesis of General de Gaulle 1 s strategic thought as it ooncerns the Atlantic area that we are like4" to find in print and in retrospect may be taken as the foundation for the Pierrefitte ei'i'usion of May 28 Wl.ich caused such a stir in American and NATO circles.
