THE UPHEAVAl IN FRANCE

VOLCANIC action in French ministries
Y is traditionally almost rs inccssant 'as
in kilauea itself, and before the war was
deemed quite as harmless to outsiders as
the spectacular performances of that famed
crater. But political disturbances can no
longer be localized. That has been proved
in the United States. and is now ominously
demonstrated in n sister republic.
The dramatic resignation Of Arlstidc
BRAND IS doubtless to some extent due to
partisan intriCacics of which most Amcri
cans possess little more than n surface
knowledge. But domestic reactions from
the event are wholly secondary TO those Of
international consequence.
The European situation. through which
ElmmCrings of light could be ut last dis

certainty by the uphcaval. The prospects
of an Anglo French accord, preliminary 10
n more rational treatment of Continental
problems, are threatened; an unwClcomc
shadow has descended upon certain achieve
mcnts of the arms parlcy in Washington,
and even the bright promise of the economic
conference of civilization has been dimmcd.

never caught up with us. and when Amcri-
can art Is set down in history its dominant
quality in this period will be illustration.
This, think, is because in that branch
there IS play for expression of human char

Paint for It's Own Sake
"Aftcr our Centennial Exposition Amcri-
cans went 10 Europe and caught the plague
of paint for its own sake. The story was
tabOocd rs beneath the artists craft. Thus
our imaginative impulses were transferred to
illustration, because art Subsists upon
imagination and fancy and is bare without
them.
Thus we have also done we'll in land

The corporations brought regulation upon

notorious that Federal control has too often
reflected merely spirit of animosity and
suspicion. The hardship doesn't fall always
on the stockholders or the directors of the
corporations. 1t falls on the men in immc-
