This Week in Cleveland

The Republicans will need ice

SETTLES OLD DISPUTE.
Millerand's Exit Proves legislature
Superior to Executive.

BY Radio to The Star and the Chicago Daily
News. Copyright, 1924.
PARIS, juno 11-An enigma Of
democracy which has caused trouble
in republics throughout the ages is
cerned by the triumph of the iegisla-
tive over the executive branch of the
government, contingent on the resig-
nation of President Millerand today.
In Switzerland, the oldest republic
somewhat the same manner. In the
United States, on the contrary, 1t is
still much of a riddle as to who is the
stronger, President or Congress.
M. Millerand's resignation proves
several things. First, that no strong
man should attempt to serve as Pres
ident of France; second. that no
French president can have decisive
voice in directing the affairs OF the
nation; third, that the Office of presi-
necure than ever; that the very pr1nci-
pie of division of powers" of repub-
lican constitutions Is threatened.
AS intelligent observers point out,
struggle which has just taken
place, because it's shadow has been
looming up the horizon for
months. NJ. Millerand never made
secret of his tenets. When he as
sumed office in September, 1920, he
exercise more power than any presi-
dent before him.
He indicated that he would try to
metamorphose the Office of president
into something more than it had been
before. Indeed. even before his ad-
vent Georges Clemenceau had been
defeated for the same office because
it was known that he held similar
views.
Furthermore. the present case, al
though decisive. is not the first one
of its kind. Four other French pres
idents have resigned before the end
of their terms-Thiers, in 1878: Mac
Mahon. in 1879; Grevy. in 1887. and
Casimir Perier, in 1895. Everything
tended to show that the final en-
counter would have to be fought out
some time on the basis of constitu-
tional law.
So far as Alexander Millerand is
personally concerned, it can be as
sumed with certainty that this is not
the end of his political career. He
will be back soon as a deputy in the
Chamber and by the side of Poincare
and Maginot as leader of the opposi-
ton.
There is already talk Of making a
vacancy for him in the department
Meurthe ct Moselle.

spirit and letter Of the constitution
and law.
THE decision was inspired by the
partisanship of a few leaders who
had thrown down the guarantee of
the constitution of seven-year term
for the president. Under their pres
sure meetings held outside of Parlia-
ment have declared the president of
the republic did not please the ma
jority of the new chamber and must
retire Immediately without waiting
for the end of his term of Office.
This is a redoubtable precedent
which makes of the presidency of
the republic a stake of political con-
flicts and introduces a plebiscitej by
roundabout means. IT wrests from
the constitution the only element of
stability and continuity it contains.
I would have committed a felony in
making myself an accomplice in a
situation SO fraught with peril ]

Venus de Milo
Always Armless?

Paris, Oct. II CA. i. by MaiD-
It may be some consolation to art
lovers throughout the world, who
have wondered In what position
were the missing arms of the famous
Venus dc Milo statue in the Louvre
to learn that even the ancients
themselves were perplexed on this
point.
DR.. EDDIE. n French physician, has
just made known that during re-
cent visit to Egypt he came into
possession Of n small bronze statu.
cite of the same period as the Venus
de Milo. This statuettc is an exact
copy of the famous Venus. and like
tho original. It has no arms Dr.
Eddie therefore concludes that tie
Venus de Milo never at any time had
arms. and he believes that the
sculptor when he had carved out q
the stone such n divine form. gave
up all idea of adding arms.
When the Venus de Milo was dis.
covered on the island of Milo n large
reward was offered to anyone who
could find the arms. but In spite Of
extensive search, nothing WAS DIS
covered
