PARIS. December 1.-Premier Flan-
din has given notice that, following
partially, at least, the program of
former Premier Doumergue, he will
propose a national assembly at Yer
saille to amend the French con-
stitution.
The National Assembly consists of
the two houses of parliament sitting
jointly, in all somewhat more than
900 members.
The essential difference between
Flandins plan and that of Dou-
mergue, which aroused the ire Of the
legislators and caused the Dou-
mergue cabinets downfall, is that
Flandin intends first to get the 1885
budget voted. Doumergue insisted on
voting only the credits necessary for
the first three months Of the year,
postponing the rest Of the budget
until after the National Assembly
had met.
This may appear to the layman as
very slight matter, but it really
is of the greatest importance. Dou-
mergue realized that the Parliament
was fundamentally hostile to him
and would follow his plan Of con-
stitutional reform only under pressure.
He realized that II the 1885 budget
were voted before going to Versatile

Flandin to Propose National Assembly,
After Budget Vote, on Reform Program

| there would be no means of exerting
that pressure.
The National Assembly is, in fact,
sovereign, and could have continued
to sit indefinitely. 1t is certain that
its session would have been pro-
longed until late in the Autumn,
while the government stood helpless.
But If appropriations had been voted
for only three months the National
Assembly would have been obliged
to finish its session before April /,
In order to permit the separate houses
OF Parliament to return to Paris
and vote the remainder of the budget.
The Left parties saw through this
maneuver and refused to fall into
the trap.
Flandin's reform program is less
drastic than that of Doumergue,
especially in the matter Of dissolving
Parliament. Doumergue wanted the
President Of the republic to have
the power Of dissolving the Chamber
OF Deputies after one year of office,
without the consent of the Senate.
Flandin's plan has not been di-
vulged in detail, but there Is talk of
compromise. under which the
tenure Of office Of the Chamber, now
four years, would be extended to six,
the President Of the republic having
the power to dissolve It after two
years.

This can happen only when the
sun, moon and earth are in straight
line.
Whichever is in the middle, blocks
the light of the sun from the other.
If the moon Is in the middle, it blocks
the sunlight from the earth and We
say there is a solar eclipse. If the
earth is in the middle. we block the
sunlight from the moon and we say
there is lunar eclipse.
AS the moon revolves around the
earth at a distance Of 5000 miles,
and as it takes only 1888 days for
the moon to 60 once around its orbit,
you can calculate how great its speed
must be.
In addition, the earth Is spinning
at the rate of 1000 miles per hour,
Evening star., 1935-02-03

so that new section Of its surface
is being constantly brought within
the shadow of the moons cone during
the period of the eclipse. The earth
is also travelling around the sun on
its orbit.
The resultant of all these motions
is to make the time of a total eclipse
at any point very short.
This relative motion causes one Of
the most awe-inspiring manifestations
of the total eclipse. Darkness sweeps
across the country with lightning
speed. The animals and the birds
think that night has suddenly come
upon them. The animals either lie
down in the fields or start toward
the barn, the birds fly to their nests.

- ONE editorial writer's, and even
some statesmen, throughout
Latin America had in recent
~ months expressed the opinion
that, with the mere announce
ment of the State Departments new
Latin American policy, all the mis-
understandings and differences of yes
terday had become past history. The
appearance Of the good neighbor"
policy and the repeated pronounce
ments of high officials of the United
States Government showed a changed
attitude and were sufficient, in their
opinion, to convince Latin Americans
that all the paternalistic views and
self-imposed privileges heretofore
characteristic of inter-American rela-
tions were only memory.
The recent World Court debates in
the Senate of the United States must
have been disappointing to such un-
realistic optimists. It is true that in
the executive branch of the Govern
ment Of the United States a radical
departure from the imperialistic at
titude Of previous administrations has
taken place, and that, with one or
two exceptions, the new policy has
begun to bear fruits. But the Senators
dramatic references to the Monroe
Doctrine in the course of the World
Court discussion, and their emphatic
reaSSertion not only of the original
principles involved in the doctrine. but
also of some of its modern distortions,
should suffice to prove how deep the
misunderstanding really is, and how
little the official announcements have
done in the way of correcting it.
Problem Still Exists.
Perhaps when they hear of the zest
and Of the specific terms-with
which some of the members of the
Senate invoked the Monroe Doctrine,
almost reminiscent of Manifest Des-
tiny days, Latin American officials
will realize that the problem has not
disappeared overnight and that de-
nunciation of the Monroe Doctrine
and Qualification Of the wrong ideas
prevalent about it is not as superflu-
GUS as they had thought.
The ghost of the Monroe Doctrine
still hovers over the Capitol. OF
course, still maintain that the doc
trine itself is dead, that it died of old
age and through the misuse and the
abuses it suffered. But the persist
ence with which distinguished mem
bers of the Senate Of the United States
still cling to the mistaken notions it
originated in the course Of its eventful
existence, bears out the contention
that the corpse Of the Monroe Doc
trine is still blocking the way to Pan
American friendship and that it will
continue to do so until it Is well buried
and forgotten.
Nearly all the Senators who raised
their voices in opposition to the World
Court protocols, even some of those
who favored adherence to them, con-
CURED in stressing the responsibilities
of the United States under the Mon
roe Doctrine. Some Of them spoke Of
the rights and duties" assumed under
it by the Government Of the United
States. (Self-assumed would have
been the better word.) Two amend
ments were offered to the protocol Of
adherence specifically safeguarding
such rights and duties and another
one was finally adopted which i'm
plicitly amounted to the same thing.
Its author, Senator vandenberg, stated
that ''The Monroe Doctrine is un-
| questionably included" in 1t.

Rocket Police Patrol
In the less expensive and
smaller toys (even they haven't
escaped streamlining), the newest
gadget is a rocket police patrol
a la Buck Rogers, which also spitS
fire as it goes hurtling through
space, and a Oman pursuit car,
like its larger counterpart in al
most every detail, except that a
fellow can't sit in it.
Locomotives and fire trucks
and wrecking cars, made to carry
as much as 80 pounds, are all
made so that a fellow can sit
down and ride all over town in
the best approved style.
Musical cradles and modernis-
tic dollhouse furniture are also
new on the toy mart, and the

with radio m everything is a SEN
sation!
Well, if Streamlined it must be,
maybe Santa Claus whiskers will
take the hint on December 25.
Maybe, who knows?

The purpose of the club, which
is one of the oldest established
Christmas giving organizations in
the District, is to bring a bit of
holiday cheer into Washington
homes otherwise overlooked.
Everyone can be a Good Eel

buy groceries, toys or clothes and
take them to a family which you
yourself have chosen to help as a
real Santa Claus.
Here is the way to be a Good
Fellow:
By Mail or Phone
The Washington Times will
furnish the names of as many
persons or families, adults or chill
dren, as the Good Fellow wishes.
If you wish to help, notify the
Good Fellow Editor as early as
possible. You can dc so by mail
telephone or in person at The
Washington Times Building.
The Good Fellow Editor will
hold confidential the names Of
those offering to play. Santa. 1t
is needless to say that the names
of those for whom help is sought
will be known only to the editor
and the Good Fellow designated
in each case.

Whatever it is that Santa Claus
brings for Junior, or even for Sis

The streamline craze, which has
hit everything from airplanes to
coiffures, has finally strickland
with a great deal Of force-at the

Without a doubt the biggest
thrill that old st. Nick can give to
Junior is to scuttle down the

if Junior were the least bit in

his first reaction would be to say:

genuine fear into the heart of
Public Enemy No. l and all the
other public enemies all the way
down the line. 1t even has a
siren that would have scared the
living daylights out of the late
lamented John Dillinger.
Junior can sit down in it and
catch all the gangsters he wants.
The streamline influence has
taken in even the doll carriages
and the kiddie cars. The wagons
have the long rounded lines and
the automobiles are as curved as
the ultra-ultra on the real auto
mobile market for 1886.
The tricycles and the trains
