CHAPTER XXI
Il ATHARTNE brought her car
to a stop before the drug
store. tho windows Of which were
omhlazoncd and placarded with
picturesque endorsements. A life

girl ornamented the left-hand cor

was a balloon explaining that
daily use OF some sort OF patented
product gave her that rose and
gold complexion.
Two or three shabbily-dressed
men loafed in the shade OF the
bank building. A child on roller
skates came coasting dizzily down
the incline and took the corner
on high. both arms spreadeagled
for balance. Katharine, noddine

lending library. disappeared into
the drug store. She had a great

ink on the list. The cut-rate
drug store represented n oi

could have telephoned to Cap

had all the purchases delivered
as most OF the people down on
the Point did. But, while she
could be wildly extravagant IN
larger matters. she drew the line
here.
Katharine gave her order alb

counter. She was not thinking

When the discussions become
heated and the din too great,
Monsieur lie President agitates that
diversified cowbell with all his might.
When the unruly politicians pay no
heed to the presidential bell, the
speaker fishes from under the desk
the top hat. puts it on his head and
leaves the Chamber. Whereupon the
deputies rush at each other. throw
inkwells. books and whatever other
such ammunition they can lay hands
on. and regular battle starts.
The ushers with silver chains round
their necks and small swords on the
side intervene, and when the "po-
litical argument" is over. Monsieur
lie President is informed of the fact
and returns to his chair. continuing
the session as If nothing had hap
pened.
Fernand Bouisson is undoubtedly
sorry to have left that safe seat in
the speakers chair. some 80 feet from
the Chamber. from where he could
touch three electric buttonS-One TO
call the deputies from the lobby to
vote. the second to summon the
guards and the third to start q water
fall from the ceiling, in case Of a fire
in the Chamber. 1t is he who. in
the excitement OF particularly
heated session some years ago. pressed
the water button and inadvertently
gave his colleagues a shower bath
which cooled their srdor.
Bouisson does not worry, however
He knows that his term OF Office will
be short. He accepted President
Lebrun's request to form a stop-gap
cabinet to meet an emergency which
the other politicians could not meet
because they are too discredited,
BouiSson has not had time to become
Ciscredited-he has not been prime
minister before. He has taken into
his cabinet politicians like Caillaux,
who have been through the whole
scale of politics from premiership to
jail and back to premiership. He has
given a portfolio 10 Marshal Petain.
who despite his 80 years can still order
the army about as in the days when
he commanded it on the battlefield.
But whether these men can order
about the franc and maintain its
stability is matter which the future
will tell.
The French are looking for a man
who could be a dictator, but there is
none on the horizon. Queer as it

he is accepted by at least 80 per cent

IN order to get such q popularity.
MuSsOlini has done it within four
years. 1t took Hitler about eight
years to achieve the same purpose
and Mustapha Kemal six years Primo

when the dictators took over the helm
Of state. These countries were faced
mainly with an internal problem,
while France is confronted with an
equally complex internal and external
situation.
France has become the pipotni
potUer in Europe's affairs and has a
number OF states dependent on her
for financial and political support:
at the same time she is confronted
NTH the most difficult economic
and financial situation she has
eUer had-she must defend the
gold standard in order to upoid a
second deUdluGtion OF the franc.
Her citizens lost oper 20 per cent
OF their savings When the franc
tUds deUdluQted after the tDdr. An
other 10 per cent ,Uould practically
tDipe them out And one must bear
in mind that the Frenchmen inUest

nickel they sdue by depriuing
themselves of everything except
bare necessities OF life.
Any government which will cause a
further loss to the French investors
is bound to be stoned out of Office.
On the other hand, the enormous ex-
penditure on ornaments, fortresses
poor allies, etc. require new sums OF
money which even the French treas
ury with its large gold reserves can
not stand for a long time.

Nations have gotten used to "ac-

political the ories are still in existence,
but nobody endeavors to oppose the
power which does things despite ac-
cepted doctrines.
The open-door policy in the Far
East is one OF the fundamental
principles OF the American foreign
policy in the Far East. The strained
relations betWeen this country and
Japan are due to the fact that IRE
suspected the japanese OF trying
to shut that door in our face in
Manchurid. They promised that
they ,Could not, but nobody be-
lieUed them.

Now, going over that paragraph. I
realize there are only five nights &C

memory is slipping or better go back
to school at Lowell with George.
Oh, yes. I let one night escape me
in my interview, but I remember
