CAMP FIRE GIRLS.

tnrchbearers, but those who were al
ready torchbearers stood in their
places and repeated the "Torchbearer's
Desire" together.
Miss Hazel Decker, guardian of the
group at the training school, gave an
interesting birthday talk, stressing
the desire of Camp Fire to improve its
music this year.
Miss Louden asked those to stand
who had been in Camp Fire for two
birthdays. AS she increased the num-
Der of birthdays the girls sat down,
until at the eighth year only two
guardians were standing.
Nanny Moon" was sung by every
body with the motions, and while they
were all lying down they sang Lay
Me to Sleep in Sheltering Flame" and
three firemakers extinguished the
candles. While they were walking
out they sang "The Sun Is Sinking
in the West" until every one had left
the room
Miss Decker's group had ice cream
on sale to help swell their birthday
fund. The fund this year is to help
poor children who have musical
genius to get musical education.

PARIS, March 29.-The foreign and
internal policies of the new Poincare
government will be similar in their
essential lines to those of the old
cabinet s.. +.
This was the uneuuivocal assur-
ance given by the various ministers
at the close of the second cabinet
council OF the day, which adjourned
at 8 o'clock tonight.
Although no official announcement
10 that effect was made at the Ouai
DOrsay, it was learned that Premier
ISoincare informed his new colleagues
there would be no change in the
policy he has been following since
he assumed power in January 1929
reafhrming his will to maintain in
tact the Ruhr policy inaugurated
fifteen months ago. 1t was along
these lines that the premier asked
his new collaborators to grant him
their confidence.
The premier informed the cabinet
members that he would have the
ministerial declaration ready to sub
init to them at o'clock Sunday after
noon. the document to be approved
definitely in the council of ministers
which will assemble an hour later
under the craftsmanship of President
Millerand
The presidential decree nominat-
ing the new members of the govern
ment and outlining their respective
functions will appear in the Journal

"Polyandry is the practice. and

Miss Mildred Louden. chairman of

Girls marched into Il large room in

BY A. G.. GARDINER.

BY Radio to The Star.
LONDON, June 21.-The political
event this week end is the visit of
the new French premier to Prime
Minister Macdonald. Much conf
dence prevails that the visit opens a
new vista in Europe and the possi-
bility of resumption of cordial CO.
operation between England and
France after five years of working
at cross purposes.
NJ Herriots outlook unquestion-
ably is reasonable and pacific, but the
opposition in France is still power
full and his own courage and resolu-
tion have not been disclosed. His
overthrow of President Millerand in
d trial of strength over the presi-
dency is taken as a good augury and
his utteranceS in regard to the Ruhr
and relations with Germany show an
enormous advance on the immovable
attitude of Poincare. Moreover, for
the first time, there is French pre-
mier who is a good European as well
as a good Frenchman, and who has
enthusiastic faith in the league of
nations, and who is anxious to make
IL an instrument of French security
The discussions this week end must
turn mainly on the means of making the
Dawes scheme acceptable and effective
Macdonald himself is d keen league of
nations man, and he has announced his
intention to attend the assembly of the
league at Geneva in September This

hancing the authority of the league, and

largely broken even before the par
liamentary election.
Japanese Plans.
IF Japan persists in her desire to
settle on the American continent she
must have peace in Asia and a safe
hinterland in Russia and China. The
time has not yet come for direct ne
gotiations with the Chinese, who hate
the Japanese as we'll as Europeans.
So what Japan needs at the moment
can best be obtained by a Russo
Chinese treaty, which offers tremen-
dous profits to Russian trade and
makes the concession of North SAX
halin to Japanese agents we'll worth
while.
1t is already whispered that Japan
is going to hand Russia her old heavy
artillery and Warships, which the
Washington treaty does not allow her
to keep. In return she would get the
right to use Vladivostok as a naval
base in case of war in the Pacific.
Strong, wise America needs no
warning from Europe, for she already
has seen that Moscow is busiIy seek
ing names of putting pressure on
Washington to prepare the atmos-
phere for a loan.
viii all these plans work to ia
pans satisfaction? 1t may be doubt
ed. Bolsheyism's real problem is to
unite white Russians, though it's orig
inal mission may be different. If this
effort results in founding a new cul-
ture on the Pacific coast taking it's

America, then Leninism Will really

BY WILLIAM BIRD.

By Cable to The Star.
PARIS, June 21.-The four principal
European governments hang today
to their power by their eyebrows.
Macdonald, Herriot. Marx and Mus
shaken confidence of their peoples
during the last week.
Two of these, Macdonald and Her
riot, represent governments which
are called socialistic, but some indi-
cation of the apprehension they feel
may be gathered from the fact that
they are meeting in the first avowed-
ly secret conference since the peace
conclave. which supposedly abolished
secret diplomacy.
Edouard Herriot after the widely
teralded Left triumph" in the May
elections, begins his career with the
smallest majority given any French
ministry since the war. His Situa-
tiOn is extremely precariouS since the
detection of any small group would
necessitate his retirement. Moreover
his weak situation in the Senate, as
was indicated last week by the cleo
ton of CASTOR Doumergue over his
candidate, Paul Painleve, for the pres
idency of the republic was confirmed
Thursday when the conservative NJ.
De Selves, was elected president of
the Senate to replace NJ. DoumergUe.
Baked i'm Senate.
1t seems obvious that the Senate
will not follow Herriot on any of the
major questions of internal policy
such as diplomatic relations with the
vatican.
And now that the Lloyd George
Liberals have definitely deserted Mr..
Macdonald, the latter's position is not
much better. As indicated by the
writer previously, the only thing
