Paris, May u F-Germans are
more popular In Paris than Ameri-
cans or English. in the view OF some
conservative souls who are trying to
halt the tendency.
This disposition, it is said, is
shown particularly in sports. JAG
ques Chastenet, discussing the prob
lem in Opinion" says the fact the
French have a better chance Of
beating the Germans than the Anglo
Saxons. does not account for the pub
lie displays Of feeling. He asserts It
is due to a fundamental inability
OF such different peoples to under
stand each other, while the French
and the Germans have more mental
characteristics in common.
Frances interest. he says. Is to
restrain this dislike for the people
of the United States and England
because both are great nations and
Frances future may be affected by
them.
American and English are
blamed for seeming indifferent"
to France. That, thinks Chastenet,
is more offensive to the Latin tenn
permanent than a hatred. He says
Italians are angry with the French
now. not because the French op-
pose their plans, but because they
aren't interested In them.

Student Suicides
Blamed On Exams

A wave Of student suicides during
the spring high school ana university
examinations has precipitated . con-
troversy between parents and educa-
tors in regard to abolition OF written
semester tests.
More than 20 students, principal
ly boys. are known to have killed
themselves In Berlin alone In the last
month.
The Ministry OF Education blames
parents for a majority OF the deaths
because 1t believes children are too
severely disciplined at home for fail
ure to make the grade. Parents and
some educators contend. however.
that examinations are the root of
the evil.

on land that is otherwise more or
