Judge Trenchard is a man in

Reilly was natural selection

Franco-German relations are
the key to European peace. If
these two powers can effect a
rapprochement, Europe's biggest
war danger will have been
Squelched.
Such an outcome, perhaps the
most important aspiration in the
world today, has now become a
possibility for the first time since
Foreign Ministers Aristide BRAND
and Gustav Stresemann, both now
dead, made the attempt 10 years
ago.
TINE big question-ma is Herr

France has a foreign minister as

Hauptmann" drags in spots, and
contains much that seems irrele-

For all that. it remains tense
and vibrant stuff, and utterly abb
sorbing during the scenes which
are more skillfully paced
There are welcome intervals in
which it is frightened by touches
of comedy, although it almost
always is a nervous, strained sort
of laughter.
But for torment and suspense
and mystery, made emotional by
the good old theatrical trick of
deliberately underplaying emo
