France On Clash LONDON (AP) -- West Eur- |France's bloody clash with Tu- nisia over the Bizerte naval |base could gravely endanger the future French position in Af- rica. Some newspapers said a full- scale war would be disastrous to both France and Tunisia with only the Russians standing to benefit at the expense of the Western Allies. The United Arab Republic of- ficially extended its offer to pro- vide Tunisia with military aid-- an offer already made by the Algerian nationalist rebel + ve gime based in Tunisia. Iraq also announced its readi- ness to "give every aid" to re- pel what it denounced as '"'sav- age aggression" against the Tu- [nisian people. | Lebaaon's Premier Seab Sa- {lam expressed support for Tu- nisia and lashed out at France's "treacherous aggression." Britain's press was unanimous in pointing up the gravity of the situation and called for early negotiations to end further bloodshed. Many papers exe pressed bewilderment over Tu- nisian President Habib Bour- guiba's actions at this time. "He is now behaving as if the French were trying to recon- quer Tunis instead of defending a legal position which Tunis had actively challenged," sajd The Daily Telegraph. "What is not clear," said The Daily Herald "is why Bourguiba who has a reputation for cooler moderation, shomld 'have picked this moment fora showdown." "The answer probably lies in the need for Bourguiba to dem- onstrate forcibly to his own peo- ple and to other African states that he is not a French stooge, not an ally of the imperialists," the paper said. said the request for the meeting] ---- in Geneva next week was made | to Bruno Kreisky, Austrian for-| eign minister and chairman of] the EFTA ministerial council.
