LAND OF PERSONAL LIBERTY
Visiting American Much Impressed by
the Freedom Enjoyed by the
People Of France.

I believe that there is no country in
the world where there is greater indi.
vidual freedom than In France. Ev-
eryone apparently does just about as
he pleases. The gendarmes are not
watching for attractions and never
seem to interfere with anybody. Peo-
pie tumble their dogs into the public
fountains and enjoy the parks with a
freedom that would not for moment
be permitted in New York. Yet no
one does anything really harmful.
mentioned these things to the Ameri-
can consul, who said:
Yes. the French have great individ-
ual license, and are too proud Of It to
abuse 1t. Whatever they lack in DO
litical freedom they make up in per
sonal liberty. That is the chief article
Of their faith. The gendarme seldom
lays hands on citizen. Where some.
thing really serious happens there are
usual serious consequences; but II
does not often happen"
Then he told me Of runaway youth
whom he wished apprehended and
held for American advices. The au'
thorities said: I'VE will watch him
for you, We will keep you posted as to
his comings. his goings and his doings
but We cannot lay hands on him.
