Gascon, who was born few kilometres from
the town of Folk, which he now represents in
the Chamber: but although a near neiShbOr of

the "R6publique Francaise," and made foreign
affairs his speciality. He has been in the French
Parliament for only twelve years. but he got into
office eight years ago. Despite the So-Called
Fashoda rebuff he has remained Minister of
Foreign Affairs in three ministries. and thus
keeps up the continuity Of policy al the Quai
