Forum Cites 'De Gaullism'

The DeGaullist system of government is actually a "return to tradition," said Jacques Cabau, French research attache, in his speech on "France Under DeGaulle," last night at the Harvard International Seminar. The failure of Parliamentary Democracy in France endangered national unity and produced a need for a paternalistic, "guided democracy."

The feeling of frustrated nationalism after World War II accounted for the loss of interest in Parliament and now has forced a situation in which only the menace of violence can prevent executive action. De Gaulle's prestige and his threat to quit if the government is overthrown "holds things down."

Cabau, however, said that De Gaulle is not supreme in so far as he was enstated by the liberals in a coup d'etat and as he is a liberal in colonial affairs and economic problems. Cabau called the class struggle in France "harder" than in any other country and warned of the fascist menace that has spread from Algeria to France.

He thought that France and Algeria are united by reciprocal economic ties, an concluded by saying that France has stability, having gone through the worst of its necessary adjustments.

In the first part of the Seminar, Mohamed el Dessuky, principal of a boy's high school in Egypt, and Baruch Hadar, Israeli legal and economic advisor, spoke on Egyptian education and Israeli politics. Dessuky, commented that the growth of social consciousness in the nationalistic movements following the two world wars has resulted in new agencies for social progress and, since the overthrow of the monarchy in 1952, a new era in educational advancements.

Hadar then described the prevalent schools of thought with which Israel should integrate in order to combat the isolation set upon the country by the U.A.R
