Chautemps, Living
Quietly Here, Knows
Old France Is Dead
Former Premier Realizes
He, Like Herriot, Is
Political Anuchronism
BY HELEN LOMBARD.

Settled in small house in
Washington suburb is a former
Prime Minister of France, Camille
Chautemps. Much has been specu-
lated, much written about him. A
frequently told tale is that his dra-
matte escape from France had been
preceded by a careful transfer OF
material assets to the United States.
Whea he first arrived in Wash
ington he installed himself more
than comfortably in one of the
Capitals better known apartment
houses, just a stones throw from
the Vichy Embassy. The story grew
that the former Prime Minister was
the real Ambassador of Marshal
Petain while Vichy's envoy, M. Gas
ton Henry-Haye, was the choice OF
the Nazis for the American post.
Old France Now Gone.
Time went on, however. and
the Chautemps family settled into
Washington life giving as the
months went by the impression that
the Premier knew that the France
to which he belonged had become
a vague dream; that he realized
that more than a temporary polltl-
cal upset, more than a change OF
cabinet was in process in the former
French republic.
With his musical wife, former
prize student of the Paris ConserVa-
tory. and his four children, M
Chautemps has moved into tiny
house where he continues to receive
a few old friends and to remlnlsce
about the turbulent past OF the
country he served for so many years.
According to M. Chautemps the
political figures of French democ-
racy are now in eclipse not only
because of the Nazi conquest OF
France but because they themselves
knew that the catastrophe which
was hanging over the republic
would make political anachronisms
of them. Edouard Herriot, for IN
stance. one of the foremost po-
htical figures of France, who still
enioys a considerable prestige today.
has not made the slightest attempt
to do anything in the new regime.
Different, But Worse.
M. Herriot, according to M. Chau-
temps, realized as far back as oc-
tober, 1899, that the days OF French
democracy were numbered. At that
time M. Herriot was showing snap
shots to his friends of small estate
he had bought near his native town
of LYONS. He explained the acqul-
sition of the property by saying:
This is the first piece OF real estate
I ever owned. bought 1T because,
after this war, regardless OF VINO
wins, men like you and me. the So
called democrats, will be through:
intend to retire on this piece OF
land and write my memoirs. Ihe
people won't want any OF u.s. we
have made a terrible mess OF tne
whole show and the new setup Will
be different.
But" M. Herriot would ADD pes
simistically. "it will be lot worse
than anything they have known up
till now" ,
