religious orders through the care Of their inter
ests IN the Far Orient, without forfeiting the
support and the confidence of the a1ti-clerical
element IN French political life. It is precisely
this that constitutes an element Of strength to
him at the present juncture. For. while The
one hand he enjoys the support of the Republi-
cans and the Radicals. he likewise is regarded
with favor by the Church and its adherents
added 10 which French trade and industry
which, after all, constitute the backbone of the
country. naturally think highly Of man who in
his term Governor General OF Indo-China
managed TO increase tenfold its commerce with
France. Nor must I omit TO add that he stands
well with the working classes which do not
forget that he has been one of themselves and
who are. genuinely proud of his success. IN
deed, on his return from the Far East, at the
close Of his term as Governor General. banquets
were organized in his honor by workmen's CO.
operative societies ana labor unions ali over
France.
In one of the speeches which he delivered on
an occasion Of this Knd he referred to those
magistrates of the ancient republics sent out by
the people to govern distant colonies who. hav-
ing accomplished their temporary mission re-
turned to solicit once more the votes of their
fellow citizens and to offer them the help Of their
ripe talents and experience. That offer he may
be said TO have made to the French people who
apparently glad 20 avail themselves. thereof, be-
gan by investing him with the chairmanship Of
the Budget Committee of the Chamber Of Dep
uties in which he virtually held the purse
strings Of France and was the power behind the
throne. Gambetta, II may be remembered. was
never so influential as when chairman of the
Budget Committee. Like Gambetta, NJ Doumer
has stepped from the chairmanship Of the
