The American Federation of Labor without consulting in

This action was the breaking point but the anOsty be-

action Of the Clifford committee in attacking conditions in the
Federal service and recommending spreading Of work and

FRANCE WILL
KEEP THE FAITH"

A little is indicated in the
statement given out by the
happy warrior Of France,
taking home the bacon,
when he said:
Primarily, the conver.
sations resulted in mutual
agreement for consultation
before political action in the
future. This will permit
France liberal action in Eu-
rope. i want to assure
Americans that France will
keep the faith
There is no mistaking the
meaning of these words. Mr..
Hoover and the American
bankers were so deficient in
the qualities of statesman
ship that they did not con-
suit France on the "Hoo-
yer Moratorium" " The ordi-
nary politician would have
known better. That is one
Of the reasons we would pre-
fer to entrust our political
fortunes to the keeping Of
a trained politician. The re-
suit was that France sat
back and folded her hands
and we waited. And during
the wait much damage was
done in Germany.
N. Laval's statement shows
that in the conversations, so
glowingly interpreted by the
bread-and-butter apologists
of the Administration, Mr..
Hoover was given to UNDER
stand that hereafter France,
not the United States, would
assume the leadership in
such matters; and that Mr..
Hoover surrendered, both
for himself and the Ameri-
can bankers. In other words,
the leadership has gone to
France. We have enlisted
under her flag.

Vive Laval! Vive Jose!
Vive La Paix!
Bv Claude G.. BOUUers

In the midst Of the baAy-
hoo of the Administration
apologists concerning Mr..
Hoover's triumph" in the
conversations with Laval, Of
France, it must be a bit dis
concerting to read of the
rapturous reception accorded
that clever little statesman
on his return to Paris.
Americans who have been
reading the propaganda
stuff Of Administration or
gans will wonder why NJ.
Laval should have been
given the greatest ovation
seen in Paris since the
Armistice Day march of
Foch in 1918. AS the al
legged victim of Mr.. Hoover's
cleverness appeared the great
throngs on the boulevards
shouted and screamed in a
frenzy of enthusiasm:
"Vive Laval! Vive Jose!
Viva La Paix!"
And M. Laval was all
smiles. His friends now feel
that he has a long lease ON
official life. And that must
puzzle Americans who pray
erfully read the propaganda
of Administration organs.
What happened in Washing
totn between M. Laval and
Mr.. Hoover to explain this
feeling in France that Laval
in those conversations has
scored the greatest triumph
of any French statesman
since the war? Surely,
something must have hap
pened.

He is threatened with loss
of sex appeal, if he fails to
use So-and-So's peerless bath
soap, or Somebody's antiseptic
talcum powder, or Somebody's
shaving cream. He is exhorted
to keep ''that boyish smile"
bright and dazzling with this
or that magic tooth paste. And
to wear the tailored shirts or
collars that blend with his
personality"
He Is urged to buy electric
belts-not for his digestion
but for his sylph-like "lines,"
so that he can continue to be
a riot with the women.
Even the fashion-writers now
concentrate on him-tell him
what colors in blazers and

Perhaps you have never
known what it is to be with

and no prospect for getting

It is a disturbing thought to
know that a few cents from one

pass, would relieve a craving for
food, and to realize that If you
should solicit even a small sum
your request would be angrily
refused.

over women, GD
who rarely think but simply
emote. AS citizens they are, In
the long run, more sensible,
though not as progressive as
women. For all Of which rea-
sons, admire men.
But as fathers, American
men are q mess and should be
ashamed Of themselves.
Up To Mamma
No father on earth sideStepS
his responsibility as does the
American. He may pass out
plenty Of cigars on the day
that sonny's born he may
bore the office folk to tears with
his boastings about the Little
Tike but when it comes to
fitting the boy for life HE
LEAVES THAT ALL UP TO
MAMMA. AND THEN SPENDS
THE REST OF HIS LIFE BEEF.
ING ABOUT THE RESULT.
Now Mammals all right in her
way-but her way doesn't go
far enough.
She's a nice, kind, smart, cap
able lady. But it takes more
than that to turn a sQualling
young barbarian into a civilized
human being. It takes a well
rounded citizen. And Mamma,
as vet. isn't a well-rounded citi-
zen. She has had suffrage for
hardly a score Of years e. and
popular education for a Scant
century. Her experience as q
working woman dates, usually,
from the war years.
Brave, Honest Kids
She wants her children to be
brave, honest, kind, clever and
progressive, but she does not
know what these virtues should
imply in the year 1881. She
gets her knowledge Of ethics
from the Sunday School
teacher she had when she was
l3. and her knowledge Of poll
tics, economics and general cul-
ture from the bi-monthly P. T.
A. meeting, or her favortte
home journal. AS a conSe-
Quence she believes - and
teaches her children to. believe
"a lot of cockeyed nonsense.
And that's where Dad falls
down. If it's up to Mother
to train the youngsters to be
clean, decent men and women,
it's up to him to fit them to be
well-balanced citizens. That Is

accept a cancellation from
us. Greater love hath no
man. OF course, NJ. Laval
hastens to say, there can be
no scaling down of the Ger
man payments to France and
Belgium for the material
damages of the war. Thus
France will lose nothing, and
the United States will lose
all. Does that explain the
mirth in the boulevards of
Parisf The French have a
sense of humor, and NJ. Laval
has a dry humor Of his own.
As Lawrence Sterne said in
his Sentimental Journey" "
years ago, "They do these
things better in France.
"Vive Laval! Vive Jose!

The Washington times., 1931-11-06
WHY FRANCE
IS PROSPEROUS

1t seems a reasonable as
sumption that the American
bankers may not be so happy
in the end as they hoped to
be. Political power passes
from them to the politicians
of Paris-clever politicians,
much more clever than the
bankers. When Mr.. Hoover
assumed the management of
the world it was we'll, for
do not the bankers control
Mr.. Hoover absolutely?
Now that the "conversa-
tions" in Washington have
transferred the management
to France they retire to the
back benches; for France is
not so much interested in
them. Laval is interested in
France. 1t does seem a pity
that here we have no lead
ers in the seats of the mighty
who are interested in Amer
ica-first.
And so the bargain is that
we shall pay the debts of
the fourteen nations by put
ting the burdens on the tax
payers of America NJ. Laval
promises to "keep faith "
and get busy with the pre-
liminaries at once.
The latest report is that
we face o deficit Of $2,000,-
100000; but that is nothing
the bowed backs Of the
American people can stand
much.
Meanwhile France wi t h
budget balanced, the people
prosperous, the farms pay"
ing profits, the factories
booming, continues to look
after her own people. That
is one of the reasons that
France is prosperous and we
are PROSTATE.

POINTS WHICH LAVAL
DID NOT SURRENDER

Thus the real effect of the
Hoover Laval conversations
is to transfer world leader
ship to France; we are the
mere commissary of the in
ternational arm-we pay the
bills. Alphonse is France
and CASTOR is France. We
are merely the sheepish-look-
ing spectator on the curb
watching the exchange of
courtesies between Alphonse
and CASTOR.
Mr.. Hoover is not going to
lead the world any more; ;
the American bankers are
not going to lead any more.
France is going to lead. But
NJ. Laval tells us that he will
"keep faith" with the
&AAAC1 4CduSs
He will keep faith by dis
cussing reparations witt h
Germany; and then he is
willing to converse with
US about more scaling down
Of the debts and even about
cancellation. We gather that
M. Laval must have surren-
dered to Mr.. Hoover on that
point.
But there were points on
which he did not surrender.
He did not agree that France
shall lose a penny and did
not yield the fraction of an
inch on French armament.
He got much and he lost
nothing. That is statesman
ship; that is the statesman
ship Of a man trained in
politics and not in the manu-
facture of pig iron or in
the manufacture of Missis-
sippi bubbles that burst.
And so M. Laval was
greeted on the sidewalks of
Paris with the blaring of
bands, smiles, shouts, and
cries Of
"Vive Laval! Vive Jose!
Vive La Paix!"
