He authorized the United Press today
to make this announcement.
BRAND said he would present him.

An accurate reflection OF Frances
spirit today wasagiven by Henry Che
ron.t a prominent senator. who pub
fishes In the Petit Parisien the analy-
sis Of Frances situation:

DDS instead OF doing what we should

must do-and that In to concentrate

The senator concludes with the dec.
lsration that France needs "few men.
but men OF less talk and more action
with a concentration Of governmental
authority like that OF which England
has just given us an example"
Must Concentrate Power.
1--WE must follow that example"
the article concludes. 1.-THE present
premier has not failed to display all
aualitteA necessary In facing the
heavy responsibilities OF the present
