Frances Youthful Premier
(NeW York Herald Tribune)

(NeaO York Herald Tribume)
Youthful statesmen are rare in
France where age has a traditional
respect and almost invariably has the
preferment in politics as in business.
More conspicuous even than Nj. Tar
dieu as an exception to this rule is
NJ Pierre Laval, the new Premier of
France, whose government has just
received a majority of fifty-four votes
in the French Chamber Born the
son of a butcher in the middle of
France, this young lawyer has fol
lowed the usual rule of moving with
his years from the Left towards the
Right. He was a Senator in his early
thirties Now at the age of forty
seven he finds himself at the head Of
government composed of virtually
the same elements as the Ministry Of
NJ. Tardieu In it's majority are GER
tain unstable elements of the Left
Center, but it's main strength comes
from the Right.
1t will take unusual ability to hold
this majority together against the
undermining of the Socialists and
radical Socialists. Their opposition
will be implacable both on account
of the inclusion of M. Tardieu in the
Ministry and because of M. Laval S
own detection from the radical side
on which he made his political debut.
To this task NJ Laval brings an
unusually winning personality al
ready shown in the negotiations he
conducted which ended the textile
strike last fall. Courage and ora
torical skill are also his. His own
youth may be the deciding factor IN
his favor.
France has long needed new blood
in her politics. She needs new and
younger school of craftsmanship that
will rise above the factional animos-
tiles engendered by the war and in
spire the hard-working French peo-
pie, grown weary of their older poll
ticians. NJ Laval, even more than
NJ. Tardieu, may be the man CORES
pondng to their hopes.

tongue persists in getting its
owner into far more precarious
situations than were ever
brought upon him in the prac-
tice of his chosen profession, al
though he not only participated
in the world war but has had
varied passages of arms with
Haitian, Chinese and Nicara-
guam bandits.
There is no disposition here
to say that a commandant whose
duty includes setting an exam
pie for and training marine top
sergeants in the gentle art of
self-expression should not be
skilled in the practice of tongue
las hing. But there is such a
thing as discretion, the exercise
of when, how and whom, even
in this particular phase of
leatherneck prerogatives. Gen
eral Butler without doubt has
picked some most unpropitious
occasions upon which to let loose
equally unpropitious remarks.
At the risk of being consider
ed wholly lacking in diplomacy
or realization Of intricate prob
lens of state, the Daily NeaUs
frankly admits that nothing
would please it more than to see
the general and the premier tied
together, hung on the line, and
left alone to claw it out. But of
course the situation is far too in
volved for any such crude treat
ment; II Duce must be appeased
and General Butler must be
made to realize that his tongue
is for exercise on the parade
ground and not at banquets
where reference is directed to
international affairs.

Just what the six months school

will point to the luxury tax; others
to a sales tax; others to the tobacco
companies; others to the railroads and

Green estimated workers have lost

MOSCOW, June 26-A number 'Ot

Thirty Soviet pilots, mechanics and
students from the aviation academy
were present during the refueling and
inspected the plane. They expressed
anazement at the Wasy motors perfect

equipment. Somehow they were all
quite awed by the fact that here they
saw for the first time machine which
had flown over the Atlantic. They de-

The interpreter said the American
flyers were at first somewhat skeptical
about the Russians ability to exercise
the proper care in refueling and clean
ing the motor, but their attitude
changed to one Of wonder1ment as they
saw how deftly the mechanics worked.
Impressed by Interest.
Post and Gatty were greatly i'm.
pressed by the interest the Russians
displayed in their plane and in Amer
ican aviation generally. They said the
gasoline and oil furnished them was of
the highest quality. They told Soviet
officials they were convinced they would
be able to negotiate the vast Soviet
territory without difficulty, especially
since they felt assured that all was
being done along the route to help make
the flight successful.
The flyers were also pleased with the
discipline at the airport, which kept
crowds of the field, and the strict en-
forcement of no-Smoking rules.
Post commented that sit would be a
great thing If the afrports of other
countries exercised as much discipline
as we found here, as it would certainly
lessen the number Of accidents"

Have Choice Of Routes.

In the opinion Of navigation authori-
ties in local aeronautics yesterday much
of the success of Wiley Post and Har-
old Gatty, the round-the-world flyers,
VIII depend on the reliability of their
plane on the route from Moscow to
Alaska.
z II they choose the short route from
IrigutSk, 1000 miles to YakutSk and
then 1880 more to Nome, they will
save more than TOO miles over the route
from IrkutSk to KharbarovSk on the
Manchurian border.
The short route is fraught with dam
ger IN case of forced landings, however,
as no emergency fields are along the
way ana the terrain is hiiiy forest for
long sections. It Is 1890 miles to
Kharbarovsk and then 2,794 more to
Nome by the long route, however, and
the flyers weighed the chances before
they started without making a definite
decision as TO which route they would
take.
Aid Assured by AmtOrg.
Oficials Of the Amtorg Trading Co.
assured the local representative Of the
flyers that they would receive every aid
from the Russians, whichever course
they followed. They added, however
that the longer course was preferable
because 1t Is part Of the regular trans
siberian air line to Vladivostok and is
well equipped for fueling and with
emergency fields.
{ Inasnuch as the airdrome at YakutSlI

cabled TO Moscow inquiring as to the
possibility Of landing there and request

At all points along the Moscow
