come Of the affair was that the Com
munists were drawn from their elec-
toral wilderness. They are no longer
separated from the Radical-Socialists
by q national issue; the two groups
will make common cause at the polls.
In other words. there is nothing left
to split up the vote of the Left.
Laval now realizes that his tactics
have been faulty; he wishes that he
had never asked Stain to put his
finger into the internal politics OF
France.
All those developments clearly point
to the advent of serious crisis either
this Autumn or next Spring after the
general elections. Let us never forget
that a denunciation OF FaScism may
work upon rural France with telling
effects.
Despite these difficulties. despite
the personal leanings Of M. Laval
toward some kind OF arrangement
with Adolf Hitler which at every turn
are checked by his official advisers
and by Frances continental allies OF
associates, the foreign policy Of the
Paris government makes more or
less continuous line Of advance. 1t

his words and deeds aim at avoiding

Enters Col. de la ROGUE, leader OF
the Croix de Feu. At once the tone
becomes very different. M. Laval rec
ognizes the beneficent nature of his
visitors work. The latter has erected
a solid barrier against the undertak-
ings Of Communism and Socialism.
But let him be wise enough not to
attempt more and dream of a Fascist
revolution in any form, as the whole
country could be rent in two. Such
is Laval's method. It's success de-
pends upon the possibility of fooling
somebody somehow.
But he himself is anxious about the
future. So as to disarm antimilitarist
Communism, which made noteworthy
victories at the municipal elections
last May, he made 1t his business,
when in Moscow, to extract from
Stain declaration to the effect that
France was fully entitled to provide
an adequate national defense. At
first, the blow struck at the French
Communists seemed staggering. They
felt they had been exposed to univer-
sal derision.

Austria Need Not Help

VIENNA (P).--Italy's readiness TO

that Austria may one day be called
upon to send troops into Italy in sup

In other words, when MuSsolini

salubrious climates in all parts Of the
world, the only colonies the Italians
have are torrid desert lands in Africa.
Ethiopia lies between two of those
colonies.
Ethiopia is the sort of 'independ-
ent" country that neither France nor
England has had any hesitation about
colonizing In the past. Its independ-
ence, about which there is so much
talk, is a fiction, its unity is non-ex-
istent-the Negus controls only a very
small fraction of the territory-and
its boundaries are undetermined.
And despite all that has been
written about Ethiopia's ancient civ
ilization," no civilization exists there.
The people have form of Christian
religion in some parts of the country,
but their customs are barbarous. They
are constantly at war among them
selves. and among them war is an un-
broken succession Of atrocities.
The Italians feel quite sure that
Ethiopia is eventually going to be
colonized under the banner of "civili-
zaticn" by somebody, and they think
they would prefer it to be themselves.
