History to Bare Tragedy
Of d Corrupt France
BY BENJAMIN DE CAssEREs

THE double collapse of France
In little more than a-yeai-
will be a story told in history
for hundreds of years to come.
1t is far more dramatic TRAN the
defeat of Napoleon at Water
loo or the surrender of Louis
Napoleon at Sedan
The present story Of France
is so tragic, so bitter, so in
credible that only Shake
speare or a Victor Hugo could
give to it all its mixture OF
shame and weakness
For the words that futuse
historians must use will be
corruption "sell-6ut,' rotten
ness and treason. .
In William Shirers Berlin
Diary" a superb document on
Inside" Europe, l find this.
From German and French
sources alike heard many
stories of how the Communists
had received their orders from
their party. There was treachery
i'm the French army from the
top to the bottom--the Fascists
at the top and the Communists
at the bottom.
MANY French prisoners say
they never saw battle. When
one seemed imminent orders
came TO retreat"
Here is a strange, a pulling
case. The French people are, IN
the main, loyal and sound; so
were the French soldiers and
also many of their leaders, like
General de Gaulle. for instance,
But both Nazi and Communist
fifth column work had done the

THE police department needs more new modern radio
patrol cars.
Yet each wear the department buys an insufficient

Why couldn't it all be spent for patrol cars? Some

THE minority ripped an the
Il majority opinion, recalling
that in a previous case the same
court had upheld a unions rule
which forbade an employer 10
perform any work in connection
with his own business.
And now. said the minority.
the majority would 60 "a step
farther and grant a union the
right 10 compel an employer TO
Join its ranks.
Employing the logic used i'm
the majority opinion" said the
minority, "it follows that a labor
union has a right 10 picket any
one, man or woman, who as
proprietor performs any labor in
connection with his own affairs
unless such person abides by a
rule directed against self-help.
mo longer would n man be
allowed to NOW his OWN lawn or
his wife 10 cook the meals or

have 10 be done by some one
else"
"If this state of affairs Is the

CAL l have seen the figures on
both sides. They are contradic-
tory. But this is just a question
of fact. Somebody ought TO be

Look out your car window as
you pass through oil towns or

OF l33 tank cars in July was 154

of illustration of the fact that

should be given the job of max
ing the nations tremendous

Sure, / know that Ralph Budd,
who is a top-hole railroad man.
has little fraction of the

Since this column started TO
point up this discussion il has
been deluged with suggestions
for example, that trucks
freighting east from the unre-
Stricted area be required TO
carry the gasoline for their re-
