trust the Ministers to institute the actions only
10 State interest, and you could not trust the
juries to return verdicts on the merits. Is not
that equivalent to saying that, granted the CON
ditions insisted on by French statesmen, the
problem is insoluble
But are those conditions correct ? We do
not know. Frenchmen Of experience insist
that they are, and there is nothing in the histo-
ry of France to show that they are wrong. The
only answer from experience may be incorrect:
A free French Press exists in Belgium and
Geneva, and neither Geneva nor Belgium
show any tendency to disappear.
