PARIS. June 26.
TINE French Parliament recently
renewed by general elections
its lower houSe-the Chamber
of Deputies. Its political
color, has changed
And like lobster boiled the morn
From black to red begins to turn.
If socialism is red this sums up
the turn which the Parliament OF
France. like the Parliament of Great
Britain. has taken. But what about
the members of Parliament? Who
were they and what were they 90
ing in the world before they came
into politics?
The kinds of citizens who have
succeeded in getting elected do not
change much from one Parliament to
another 1t is about the same in
England and in the American Con-
gress. 1t is only the political color
that has changed.
About one-fourth OF the new
chamber, say $50 deputies. are law
yers by profession. but it would be
hard to say how many of these have
Some of them, like President Mile
rand and former Prime Minister Poin
care, had very great success at the
bar and they have retained an in
terest in their law offices which make
a better living for them than poll
tics ever can. Such deputies, when
they lose their election, go back to
their law practice. Others, like
former Prime Minister BRAND. who
was caught early by journalism,
stick it out in politics and get re-
elected Poincare is still senator,
which office is compatible with that
of prime minister, but Millerand.
when he ceases to be president, will
become a private citizen.
After the lawyers. doctors have al
ways been an important influence in
the French Parliament and some of
bthem have been genuine practitioners.
NJ Clemenceau practiced medicine
fourteen years in a modest quarter OF
Paris, sometimes while he was ac-
tuallv a member of Parliament or
between the elections which he lost
and those he won.
Socialists nowadays do not like
Clemenceau, but it was he who in
vented the radical Socialist grouping
in politics on which they have sailed
into power. In general. doctors In
Parliament, at least in France, are
predisposed to see red.
Teachers of all kinds, from uni
yersity professors to primary school
| masters, have always had particular
aptitude 70 politics, electioneering
| and parliamentary debate. Jaures,
| who made the Socialist party what 1t
is. was professor of philosophy.
| Painleve, who was prime minister in
the war and has been several other
sorts Of minister, and is to have a
prominent place in the new govern
ment, is a professor Of the very
! highest kind of mathematics. Bracke.
who was q Socialist, jumping of into
| communism, was university pro-
lessor Of Greek. Herriot himself.
