 No parliament in republic would be real without an opposition, and the fact that Tardieu heads the party that keeps 1t eye on every move of the cab met does not mean that in these days of troublesome reconstruction he is in any sense less patriotic than his fel- low eountrymen,
 Tartlicu n Republican
 Tariieu Is a moderate republican He believes that the majority of the chamber has been conducted by the governments since 1920 in way which properly safeguards neither the external nor the internal policies of France, and that the bureaucratic of the old ante-war or ganization, which is out of sympathy with modern ideas of progress. Is too He believes that before the elections of next spring the gov ernment should come into office which will be less disposed to bargain with the radicals and put them in office, and which will openly proclaim itself moderate. He Is convinced that the time has come when France should be governed by q younger generation. not necessarily lawyers and orators, and that the school represented by Poincare, Barthou, Briand and Call | lauX has lost touch with present day Such men, in his opinion, have been too close to the mental cur rent Of fear of Germany. He believes there is a place in France for a | stronger and more efficient policy | both at home and abroad, because France Is the strongest nation in Eur 1pe and must go resolutely forward 70 the attainment of results which shall be the final test of her greatness. He thinks that the French occupa- ion of the Ruhr was insufficiently prepared and lacks adequate organi- .ation.
 French Should Know America
 The United States, which Tardieu ,nows so well, strikes him from this .ngle. He deems that an urgent need ,f the French people is that they hould know America and Americans better. Much has been said, as he ,uts it, about Americans not under tanding the French, but he is con ounded at the amazing ignorance or he French concerning the United ;tates. He would, therefore, nave nore news come directly from the Jnited States to France, and less trough London and English news apers He believes that every lead ng newspaper of France should have Is own special correspondent Tn Am rica, so that the people of France 1ay have placed before them a direct of American events .merican politics and American as irations. Conversely, he favors the establishment in Paris of a French ureau of information.
 Does Not Favor Propaganda
 He does not believe in propaganda q knows France has nothing to hide, ut he fears that the impression of something to conceal gets abroac scause of the difficulty foreigners ave in obtaining facts which interes' lem. He wants France to kick owe 1reaucratic methods in it's admins ative life just as it crushed ever ,stacle when it organized and, witt S allies, won the great war.
 Such are some of the ideas of ,unger France as represented D! ardieu. All France is watching him. yerybody seems convinced that until e Ruhr problem is settled in way vorable to France, every French | an will stand soidly behind Pom re, and the existing government of rance. But when this crisis is over unger leaders may be called to car
 on the work of building the great .ance of the future, and it is then at Tardieu's friends expect to see m in the front ranks.
