Appoint ment to ensure that algerian Leader walks Tightrope by Macandrews Algiers special one of the surprising things about present Day Algeria for All the official government policy of emphasizing the importance of arabic and the moslem tradition is How european the country still remains. Travelling around both the heavily urbanized fringe of cities along the Northern coastline in which 95 per cent of the 14 Mil lion population live and Ihen deep Inlo the Interior i have been constantly struck by this contradictions Between the revolutionary face that Algeria presents to the outside world and what is to be seen in the country and of the people themselves. In Sharp contrast to its militant neighbor Libya where col. Murmur Quad Dali imposes a fierce pro arabic policy there is lil Lle sign of extreme nationalism in Algeria. Part of this is due to the French colonial tradition which has left a Strong Mark on algerian life and customs. Although arabic is the official language and is used in the lower forms of schools and in All government correspondence one finds in practice that in business and a talking government officials French is the common Lan Guage. Added to this is tic Gen Oral european Way of life found particularly in the cities. In a country thai is 98 p c r cent moslem one would expect to find Strong prohibitions on the of alcohol and on the place of women in Public life. Hut in present Day Al Geria neither of these prohibitions Are to be found to any Exlene. In fad women play a prominent place in business and in govern ment and in is Only deep in the vast desert Interior of country where Only about five per cent of tin country live that one finds the irad Lional restraints of moslem life. Another Fea tire is in Sharp contrast in the main body of the Arab world is Algeria s Strong internal political stability and progressive growth. Hun by a revolutionary Council under a president. Algeria had seen Only one coup d eat in ils 11 years of self Rule. That was the quiet ouster of the Flam Boyant Ahmid Ben Bella and his replacement As president by col. Houari Boumeli conc. Col. has managed to keep Algeria to a fairly Neutral policy that allowed help from both the West and the soviet bloc without becoming too reliant on either. Al Geria has had a fully nationalized Oil Industry since 1972 when the French hold Ings were appropriated. The country s concent a lion on heavy Industry in the first few years of in dependence Are beginning to pay off in rapidly in creasing exports and reve Nues. In Short Algeria is becoming a comparatively prosperous Courry. But Algeria s european Aura and its stable pro Purily has led to some sus p i c i o n of its among More militant Arab nations. For although col. Bou Jedienne is a firm sup Porter of the Arab United stand against Israel there is a growing feeling among his More Easterly Arab neighbors that he is not As fervently nationalistic As they would wish. It is believed that Egypt and its close ally Libya would like someone More militant As Algeria s Leader who would push harder for a stronger internal policy in Algeria and who would join them in their a Mont crusade for an Oil War with the West. So far col. has played his cards care fully. Recently he supported with Kuwait Libya and Iran the symbolic one hour cutting off of Oil supplies to the West. Bui As one algerian official re marked Libya can afford to do Snell things.
