Of its policy to improve the admin

were printed in pursuance OF this
newspapers journalistic duty to in
form the people whenever, in its be-
lief, failure of justice has occurred
THE Post-Dispatch, on a multi

veneration for the judiciary as a
vital part of our democratic system
The Post-Dispatch regards this

the Supreme Court of Missouri"
Mr.. Pulitzer concluded by saying

Reynaud Faces Task
Of Composing All
Cabinet Divergences
Relations No Better With
DoIodier, Whose Party
Still Holds AIoof
BY PAUL GHALI.

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent
PARIS. April 2 (By Radio).-1n
order to insure a speedy execution of
the plan decided upon at London
last week and announced yesterday
by Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain. Premier Paul Reynaud, it is
believed in Paris today, will find it
Necessary to strengthen his own per-
sonal authority in the government.
What France needs today is q
really strong and united cabinet. M.
Reynaud Is faced with the unsavory
task OF having to compose as quickly
as possible all divergence between
himself and his colleagues or else
resign.
Even before M. Reynaud's new
ministry, his predecessor, Edouard
Daladier, had not been in complete
agreement with the present Premier
and since the formation of the new
government the relations between
the two pivots of French politics
have not improved.
Daladier's Position Delicate.
The decision taken yesterday by
the Radical Socialists, of which M.
Daladier is president not to support,
nor to oppose the Reynaud cabinet
as a unit renders the cabinet posi-
ton of M. Daladier even more deli
cate. Up until yesterday it was
hoped that M. Daladier would nev-
ertheless find it possible to support
the government, but this hope was
somewhat diminished today.
M. Reynaud is now confronted
with the following three alterna-
tives:
l. To settle all political and per-
sonal differences between himself
and M. Daladier and thus secure
the full support of this able and
still very popular leader.
2. To accept, if submitted to him,
the resignation of the two Radical
Socialist members of the cabinet, M.
Daladier and Camille Chautemps.
who is vice premier, and proceed to
reshuffle the cabinet. In that case,
it is obvious that the government
will be faced with the combined op-
position of the Rightists and the
Radical Socialists, as well as all M
Daladier's personal friends in both
houses. Such opposition appears
overwhelming to government
whose parliamentary backing is al
ready so lukewarm.
Can Relinquish Post.
3. To relinquish his functions even
before facing Parliament anew.
These are the difficulties with
which Premier Reynaud's cabinet
must cope.
Shrewd neutral observers as we'll
as friends of France still entertain
hopes that it will be possible for the
clever and energetic Premier to de-
wise some means of solving these
problems, which are becoming in
creasingly acute.
A war cabinet meeting is an
nounced for 6 o'clock this evening
to decide the war plans to be pur-
sued by France in accordance with
Prime Minister Chamberlain's state
ment last night.

it would add about $4,000, 900 to the
cost of the Army's new warplanes
to equip them with the self sealing
gasoline tanks, additional guns and
armor for gun crews which he said
the European war has shown neces-
sary.
The committee learned from Brig.
Gen. Frank M. Andrews, assistant
chief of staff, that the Army plans
its biggest peacetime concentration
of men in the Watertown-Platts-
burgh, N. Y, area this summer
when approximately 125,000 officers
and men of the 1st Army partici-
pate in maneuvers.
During an inventory of equip
ment needs, Gen. Marshall dis
closed that the Army soon would
have 81 of the 81 mobile anti-air-
craft regiments contemplated in
the so-called protective mobiliza-
ton plan."
Completion Of seacoast defenses,
he said, would require $82, 600 900
beyond what is already available.
OF the new funds, $50, zoe, 900 is re-
quired for the Pacific Coast, Pan
anna, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, Gen.
Marshall said, and SAC, 900 for
the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. About

Progress Pleases Marshall.
Expressing qualification at the
progress already made toward
strengthening the national defense,
Gen. Marshall asserted I'VE are be-
ginning to feel for the first time
since the World War, that we have
a real Army"
A sharp discrepancy between Gen
Arnold's estimate of the aircraft
industry's productive capacity and
that given the House Military COM
mittee last week by Louis johnson
Assistant Secretary of War, was dis
closed. Gen. Arnold told the appro-
priations group the industy pro.
duced a total of 351 planes Of al
types last January. BY next Sep.
tember, he said, it was estimated the
industry would be turning out about
800 planes monthly.
Last week Gen. johnson testified
the industry's output at the star
of this year was at the rate O.
about 1900 bodies and $4,000 en-
