ranks of the professions and by the
general confederation Of labor.
s. Decentralization and cooperation
in all government departments.
Such reform would go to the very
roots of the French constitution and,
by turning the President into an active
chief executive, practically bestow up
on him dictatorial powers for. his term
of seven years, and thereby remove
all parliamentary checks on those ac-
tivities which are now exercised by
the premier or president of the council.
In France, under the present consti-
tuition, the President is not in our
sense of the word a president; he is
sort o. elected fgurehead, serving
for seven years, while the powers and
duties involved in actually ruling be-
long mainly to the premier. An orna-
mental figure and little else, the
French President lives showily In a
palace, entertains visiting soverelgns.
Nor Is there a French constitution
in America. That is to say there is no
single document adopted in It's entirety
as the basic or organic law of the re-
public. The French constitution con-
sists of series of parliamentary en-
actments passed under the stress of
fact the French constitution contains
no professions Of principles, no dec
larations Of humanitarianism. The
French constitution Is as direct and
as Unconditional as a bank prospectus.
There is nothing In France that cor
indeed is there anything that CORE
spends with our party system. Par
ties there certainly are in the French
parliament, but they are numerous
and loosely knit. They are always IL
able to break up and to form new COM
parties in France means that the life
of the government is always in danger
through some sudden and new coali-
ton of the many unstable groups.
There may be three or four govern
ments In as many months, the Presi-
dent trying always to "send for" that
particular statesman whose chance Of
forming stable cabinet seems to be
the best.
President Millerand has appointed
as his first Premier Georges Leagues
and has given Premier Leagues a
ready-made cabinet. The reason for
the appointment is obvious. President
Millerand first offered the appointment
to four other men, any one of
whom would possibly have made
stronger. premier. But, any one
OF the other four would have
insisted on being premier in ac-
cordance with the established consti-
tutional practice Of the country. Ley
CUES accepts the cabinet provided by
Millerand and will carry out the or
ders OF MIllerand. With Leagues as
titular premier, Millerand will be both
President and premier in fact. 1t re-
mains to be seen how the parliament
will accept this situation.
Alexandra Millerand has so long
been one OF the foremost figures In
the political life of France. his entry
into parliament eating back to 1885 and
his cabinet experience to 1889, that II
is obviously impossible to even sketch
The Oakley herald. [volume] (Oakley, Idaho) 1908-1961, 1920-11-19


There was no election by the French
people. A caucus of senators and dep
titles nominated Millerand. Members
OF parliament went to the ancient
chateau at Versailles and chose Mil
lerand eleventh President of the re-
public. He received sos votes out of
total of 872. The complete vote was :
Alexandra Millerand, 695; Gustave De-
10y, Socialist deputy from Lille, De-
partment du Nord, 60; scattering, 20;
blank, 1OS.
Those members who cast their votes
for Deloy, the socialist, were the Uni
fed Socialists. Millerand had inflict-
ed upon the Socialists q long series of
disappointments, from the time he had
been the first Socialist to accept a
portfolio in a bourgeois ministry, away
back In 1899, until the other day, when
he had vehemently denounced their
long-nursed experiment in soviet Rus
Sia.
These Socialists professed to fear
the result of larger responsibilities
projected by Millerand." Anyway, d.
rect representation of all classes of
society and the vesting of executive
powers in the President of the republic
are the salient features in President
Mlllerand's plan to revise the French
constitution, which is evoking a storm
of controversy in France.
Politics. said NIilerand, In re-
cent speech, "are a danger to the ma
ton placed as they are, without check
or hindrance. Parliament today does
not represent the people of France.
but merely the great political inter-
ests. The President Of the republic
has no actual power, neither has the
senate.
To remedy this state Of affairs Mil
lerand proposes the wholesale re-
modelling Of the constitution. The prln-
cipal points of his proposals are.
j. The President of the republic to
became President in fact as well as
in name; to be accorded powers sim
liar to those held by the President Of
the United States.
2. A vice presidency to be created
with functions modelled after those of
the same Office In America.
3. The election OF the President and
vice president to be effected, instead
of by the senate, by national con-
vention, delegates to which shall come
from every department OF France,
from both houses of parliament, from

Neutrality-suspicious. to obtain per-

relations committee.
The decision was made after Secre-

presidents illness he had not been con-

divided along party lines, six HepuD-

PREPARATION.
Note Will Contain Strong Representa-

Further Resistance by the Ger
man Government.

Paris.--The supreme council spent
most of the session on December 4
in discussion of the attitude of Ger
many toward the signing Of the pro-
tOcol putting the peace treaty into
effect. Germany's representatives hay
ing declared they could not sign it in
its present form, including its provis-
ion for reparatiOn for the German war
ships sunk at Scapa Flow and with
other features objectionable to them
The form of note to Germany on
this question was considered by the
council, but no final decision was
taken. .,
1t is anticipated in this connection
that the reply to the German note re-
garding the Scapa Flow question will
contain strong representations as to
the Consequences of further resistance
by Germany.
The council decided to give the

many should not interpret as being
in her favor any delay that might be
encountered in rfrtifying the Versailles
treaty ut Washington, according to
newspapers.
