The Defense Of the Franc.

After week Of political tension
and financial anxiety, Frenchmen
awoke today to find themselves with
. new government erected over night
on the ruins of the Flandin cabinet.
On Friday the Chamber overthrew
the late ministry by the overwhelm-
ing vote Of 353 to 202, rejecting
specifically M. Flandin's appeal for
dictatorial powers to avert devalua-
tion of the franc and consequent dis.
aster to the whole French monetary
and economic system. The premier
sought authority to govern by decree
until January /, 1896, as the one GER
tain method Of preventing further
disastrous raids on the gold reserve
Of the Bank Of France. Even the
eleventh hour sacrifice of the Flandin
finance minister, M. Germain- Martin,
arch foe Of devaluation, did not ap-
pease the opposition, and, bowling to
the inevitable. the government re-
signed.
Despite the circumstances which

Constitutional Changes
To the Editor Of The Star

To the Editor OF The Star:
You are to be congratulated upon
the splendid article by Mr.. Mark Sui
livan in your issue Of May 20. pointing
the profound significance of the Su-
preme Courts decisions last Monday.
Mr. Sullivan's brilliant analysis of
the situation recalled to this reader
a deathless paragraph from George
Washington's Farewell Address, a
paragraph which I have read many
times during these two hectic years:
Toward the preservation of your
government and the permanency of
your present happy state. 1t Is requisite
not only that you steadily discounte-
nance irregular oppositions to its ac-
knowledged authority. but also that
you resist with care the spirit OF in
novation upon its principles, however
specious the pretexts. One method OF
assault may be to effect in the forms
Of the Constitution alterations which
may impair the energy Of the system.
and thus to undermine what cannot be
directly overthrown."
It Is enough for American citizens
to know that the Constitution lives.
With that assurance the Nation Is
equal to anything. Piece by piece the
whole wreckage Of the New Deal

cabinet, ranging in makeup from ex-
treme left to extreme right, is ex-
pected to proceed forthwith to in
woke those protective measures which
M, Flandin planned. Its first objec-

All and sundry Of these proposed

it remains to be seen whether. even

tive. he. like NJ Flandin, has not
hesitated to point out. may be the de-
valuation of the franc to the almost
ruinous level Of the 1925 Poincare pro-
gram. Frenchmen's memory of that
experience Is vivid and painful. 1t
may serve to bring M. Bouisson neces-

to save the franc from another and
more devastating crisis.
