Il am delighted at this opportun-
ity to meet Mr.. Roosevelt and offer
the homage of my country and my
personal respect" he exclaimed. >"I
am filled with admiration for the
courage with which he assumed
responsibilities He is a statesman
who does honor not only to the
United States but to humanity.
Tremendous Step Taken
Il feel Mr.. Roosevelt has taken
a tremendous step to get the world
out of its present difficulties. He
may prove the leader who is needed
to take the world out of this econo-
mic chaos"
Herriot, strongest man in France
politically, lost his premiership in
December because he insisted that
France met her war debt payment
to America.
He had announced that his accep-
lance of the present Washington
mission depended upon France
making a belated payment, but now
he has decided to go regardless of
the attitude of his government. The
possibilities for good by far out
weigh all other considerations, he
said.
France to Do Share
Il go to Washington wholeheart-
edly determined that France, as al
ways, and will contribute her share
toward world recovery, he sadi.
Herriot granted his interview in
the seventeenth century town hall
of Lyons, where for twenty eight
years he has ruled over municipal
affairs as mayor. Hundreds Of citi-
zens waited to see him to ask IA
vors and make complaints. He sees
his constituents, by long custom, Oh
Mondays.
L really don't know my govern
ment's intentions" he said, but I
am convinced that it agrees with
me that Mr.. Roosevelt'S initiative
promises only good for the suffer-
ing universe and should be sup
ported in every way possible.
mo country has suffered more
than France from the World war,
and we are determined that war
shall never occur again. That has
been the basis of Frances post war
policies.
Remove Trade Barriers
CAL nations have suffered from
the recent economic wars. We are
all agreed now that we must be
mutually dependent, and must re-
move trade barriers if We want
prosperity to return.
Those are matters for the ex-
perts to arrange, but I am convinced
that a few hours conversation in
Washington under the capable lead
ership of President Roosevelt will
prepare the stage for recovery.
The past two years must have
convinced the United States as it
hes convinced others, that economic
-olation is a boomerang. To be
0.CSpC~0us the United States needs
a pacid d, prosperous Europe.

To Be a Possibility

Although the federal postoffice
department has ruled that the new
legal beer may be sent through the
mails, the question Of whether It
could be delivered In North Da-

unanswered Friday.
The postoffice department has
been swamped with requests for
rulings in view Of the new law.
The one made Friday permits
transport through dry states.
Others still pending, In addition
to that Of delivery In dry states,
pertain to.tlls circulation OF news
papers and magazines containing
beer advertisements In states where
such material Is barred by law.
An informal opinion has been given
that there can be no interference
with such publications when sent
