Guy Mollet, the French Premier, is a Socialist. Like his Foreign Minister, Christian Pineau, he has been disturbed lately by a tendency on the part of American policy and opinion to be critical of French colonial policy. But he has not encouraged people to take a more charitable view by causing the arrest of Claude Bourdet, editor of "L'Observateur." for having referred to the dirty war in Algiers. The spectacle of an independent and courageous editor being marched off to Fresnes prison after his home was raided and his office ransacked is not calculated to allay American misgivings about French colonial policy.
