FRENCH ELECTION
LAWS UNDER FIRE
Return to Majority System
Demanded by Radicals
and Socialists.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.
: Cable TO The star and the Chicago Dali


News. Copyright, 1927.
PARIS, May 1S.-There are signs
that political rivalres, which have
been quiescent since the advent OF the
PoinCare government, are again be-
coming active.
Parliamentary elections occur a year
hence. Campaigns are beginning. The
first big issue is the electoral law,
which will be discussed next week.
The Radicals and the Socialists want
TO return to the old two-ballot. simple
majority system. The Conservatives
want to keep the semiproportional
system.
May Alternate Radicals.
The indications are that if the gov.
ernment fails TO support the majority
system, the Radicals and Socialists
may cease to support the government.
Already the other day. I'm connection
with the discussion Of the new tariff
bill, Premier Poincare had the mar
rowest majority he has had in months.
The new tariff. which represents n big
increase, is unpopular. 1t provides
for a general high rate. special min
lmum rate and also an intermediary
rate. The government also desires
law enabling it i'm certain cases TO 60
below the minimum rate 1t is under
stood that this tariff is largely bar
gaining device to assist the govern
ment in the negotiation of commercial
treaties.
Prejudice to Franc Seen.
The governments chief weapon
against the renewed political agitation
is that it may prejudice the delicately
convalescent financial situation. Even
the most hotheaded deputies will
think twice before indulging in activi.
ties which may unsettle franc ex-
change.
TO meet the big purchases of francs
in recent weeks by foreign specu-
lators seeking TO force improvement OF
franc exchange. the government has
been printing bank notes. Bull spec
ul&tOrs hitherto have felt absolutely
safe owing to the governments firm
intention not to allow n new slump in
the franc. but now the government
announces it will not promise that
there will be no new temporary slump.
Ihe announcement has no apparent
significance save as a threat to buII

poignantly paining heart. To
have a cold and a sense of wrecked
happiness at the same hour!
For a long time all had not been
we'll between her and Kent They
did not quarrel. they simply grew
cold to each other. Miria's first
thought had been that her husband
had ceased to love her Such things
happened even after a couple had
lived together for II years. She
thought perhaps he blamed her for
the child's dying. but she had done
all she could and she could not tell
him that she had known even before
the doctor had confirmed her fears
that if the little fellow had lived he
would never have been just normal.
Love. even mother love, cannot bear
tragedy Of that sort.
But now when the little boy with
his weak back and head had been
gone three years Kent was colder TO
her than he had been at the start.
And she was colder toward him, She
could not help it. She felt that way
ard could not hide 1t. Yet 1t was
only her resentment that tinctured
her words. her actions. She loved her
husband as much as ever. and in her
heart hung waiting upon sign from
him. which would restore SO much
that at present seemed lost lt was
not enough that Kent's business was
increasing. that he had thrice in
creased her allowance. until now she
had her own little bank account and
need not ask him for money If she
wanted a new dress or few extras.
1t was not enough, either. that her
home was the prettiest on the street
and that outwardly they were a
charming. respectable, financially
lucky pair. All these were common
things besides the one greatest Of all
loving sympathy
