FRANCE ON THE BRINK
lAiameda Times-Star)

alameda Ilmes-Star)
Economically and industrially France
has been on the edge of trouble for
number of years. Facing a national def
icit of tremendous size, excessive taxa
ton and, consequently, shortage of en-
ployment and reduced wages premier
after premier has resigned rather than
take the consequences of fighting the
way to a possible solution of the coun-
try's difficulties.
Recently Premier Daladier, sensing
general labor unrest and major strikes,
was given powers approaching dictator
ship. With half a million men, aided,
perhaps largely inspired by the Social
and Communist parties, apparently de-
termined to inaugurate a nation wide
strike Wednesday, the premier is faced
with the necessity of calling the army
into action if the strike and certain dis
aster are to be averted.
That dictatorship follows unrest, such
as now menaces France, has been abun-
dainty demonstrated in recent years.
Italy and Germany are examples OF
what occurs. Should The uneasy men
proceed to carry the strike threat into
execution the army, if called to act, may
be reluctant to act. In the event of revo-
luton a strong man is certain to emerge
and dominate the nation. In the event the
army goes into action at the command
of Premier Daladier France already has
its dictator.
Disaster comes to any country when
its national budget gets sufficiently out
of balance, taxes higher than the people
can pay and the deficit greater than can
be met.

fangement on K Street made it
almost impossible for people to
cross with any degree of safety,
and that double parking was one
of the chief sources of traffic prob
lens which is being given but
Scant consideration.
It was finally recommended the
entire question should be subjected
to an intense study. The assocla-

the proposed creation Of a traffic

and individual liberties may depend
on 1t. Mr.. Welles called for inter-
American solidarity at a time when
he said the doctrine of hatred is
threatening civilization"
