The French Crisis.

France has reached a serious crisis
N finance and politics. A coalition
ministry, precariously supported for
a time by composite of divergent
small-party groups in the Chamber of
Deputies. has been defeated on its
finance measure, designed to stabilize
the currency and to provide means
for the funding of obligations soon
to mature. An emergency is thus
created, and unhappily with no assur-
ance Of a parliamentary support for
a ministry organized to carry on the
administration and to propose definite
fiscal measures.
But there is basis for belief that
the emergency will be met and that
this crisis, like many another in the
past history of the French republic,
will be surmounted. The parliament
tary situation will remain unchanged
is held can there be any realignment
of parties. Perhaps not even an cleo
ton would yield a positive ministry
supporting majority or enduring bloc
of parties. But the nation cannot go
bankrupt for lack of administration
or for failure of corrective fiscal leg
islation. Extraordinary measures can
and will be adopted.
The trouble III France lies in the
lack of an assured bloc in Parliament.
The scattering of political forces has
caused chaotic conditions III the leg.
islative branch Of the government and
the consequent weakening OF the ad-
rninist-ative orga nization. Yesterday
the Communists, with twenty-slN
votes. threw the balance Of power
against the ministry on the score OF
a scandal relating to the recent pro
posal to consolidate treasury notes,
Il is plain that this was an excuse for
defeating Patnleve. But the Com
munlsts, thus holding the position OF
destructive power, cannot aftirma-
lively guide the course Of the govern
ment.
No matter how President Dou'
mergue may contrive to patch up a
ministry that can carry through the
immediate emergency and meet the
treasurys obligations, 1t will be but
a ma,leshift government, subject TO
defeat and dispersal at the wh!m Of
d small group of malcontents in the
Chamber of Deputies. In England
the defeat Of the ministry causes an
appeal to the country" In France,
however the Chamber of Deputies is
elected for a term of four years, and
the session cannot be dissolved by the
Pres dent save with the consent of
the senate. The present Chamber was
elected in 1924 and has, therefore
three years to serve.
Were there in France two com
pactly defined political parties, as in
this country, or even three parties.
as in England, there would be fewer
ministerial overturns and political
crises With the Chamber of Depu-
ties, however, divided into ten or
twelve groups. conference of policy is
difficult to secure, virtually impossi-
BILE. Hence the constant shifting OF
responsibility.

Admiral Sims Criticism
OF Officers Unjustified.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The times seem out of joint. Army
and Navy officers of high rank are
seeking to outdo each other in making
grave charges, couched in abrupt and
harsh terms, against their brother Of
ficers and the services in which their
lives have been passed.
Col. Mitchell's case is before an
Army court, and the court will settle
it. But my old friend, Admiral Sims,
has broken into the limelight in the
most startling and dramatic manner
by statement that seven OF the ad-
mirals on the active list are unedu-
Gated and unfit to command.
This statement reflects on the en-
tire list of admiralS, because he names
only one of the seven.
VIII you permit one who has known
and loved the Navy longer than Ad-
miral Sims to say something in reply?
Sims is a big man physically and
mentally, he has done good work for
the Navy and rendered exceptional
service to the country, but he has
not received the promotion that was
due to him; perhaps this has left him
"a little sore, and inclined to take
jaundiced views.
His theory seems to be that unless
an admiral has taken a years course
at the Naval War College and received
it's diploma he is "uneducated and un-
fit to command" When, acting on
this theory, he names Admiral Eberle,
chief of operations. as one of the seven
he demolishes his theory, makes his
friends grieve and his enemies laugh.
AS to his theory, Nelson never at
tended a war college, neither did Far
ragut, Dewey or Sampson, but they
all proved their fitness by commanding
and succeeding, so has Eberle.
lie has attended the War College,
once for five months and once for
seven, but in each case a demand
came for his services elsewhere and
his superiors called him away. so that
the handsome engraved diploma Of
the War College never came to him.
But, like Nelson, Farragut, Dewey
and Sampson, he has commanded
and proved his fitness"
Sims himself has born witness to
his fitness as superintendent of the
Naval Academy. In his younger days
admiralS like Barker, Wainwright
and Clarke selected him for service
because Of his proved capacity. In
command Of the fleet, he brought it
to a state of highest efficiency and his
selection for "chief>of operations" the
highest position in the Navy. came
as matter Of course He had dem
onstrated his fitness TO command"
Let us hope that some of the officers
who have been Condemning every one
will take a sober second thought and
conclude that the Army and Navy
have not gone to the eternal bow
vows" after all.
And it will be well that they remem-
Der that when they condemn the ser
vices because they do not spend more
money, they are Condemning the
President OF the United States, who is
preaching economy, the Congress that
refuses appropriations and the Ameri-
can people who are clamoring for re
duCed taxes.
