French Communist
Demands Threaten
North African Crisis
By HELEN LOMBARD.

Washington has more than 400
French officers and technicians serv-
ing here in what is now known as
the French Military Mission"
representing the amalgamation of
the Giraud and the De Gaullist
forces. Gen. Charles de Gaulle now
is recognized in Washington as the
winner in the battle which has been
going on in Algiers between the
Fighting French leader and his fol-
lowers, and Gen. Henri Giraud and
his adherents.
In fact, in the Offices of the French
Military Mission here no photo
graphs of Gen. Giraud are allowed.
Only Gen. de Gaulle's picture may
be displayed on the desks of the
officials. The theory invoked is that
picture of the chief of state" only
may be displayed.
This ruling revived among some
of the French the old discussion
about Gen. de Gaulle's exact posi-
ton. He has not been recognized as
chief of state by the British or the
American governments although
Premier Stain has given him un-
qualified recognition. The legalistic-
minded French officials here who be-

are given control Of propaganda,
interior, justice and navy, posts
which they are demanding.
The battleship Rlchelieu has just
been refitted by the American Gov
ernment at the expense of $50, ,000,-
900. Among other things a special
factory had to be set up to make the
red pompoms for the hats of the
French sailors who had been with
out headgear ever since the French
defeat
The French forces in North Af-
rica are being equipped with the
finest American arms and equip
ment. After all this outlay the
American military authorities in
Algiers now are fearful of the pos
sibility of seeing French ships
turned over to their crews and
French regiments without officers.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, it is re.
liably reported here, conferred with
Gen. de Gaulle. pointing out to him
that the Americans are not in the
position to train new French officers
or to supply American officers tc
lead the French naval and armed
forces. 1t required some 20 years
before the Russian revolutionists
were able to replace the officer caste
which had been liquidated. anc
they had a country of 10000, ,00(
people to draw on. If the threats o.
resignation of French officers ma
terialized it would be useless, tn,

DOES DEMOCRACY
WORK?
Rx RUTH TAYLOR

It is the fashion just now to
question the workings of demoe-
racy. We speak of 1t as though
it were a blueprint of some in
tricate machine. turning ont ar
ticles with precision, alike to the
shading Of hair.
Blu democracy 5 not a blue
print or a machine - not even a
machine in the political sense.
Democracy i a way of life which
stems from the individual It Is
the method by which he learns to
live amicably with his neighbor.
It is the formula which civilized
and free people have found most
useful in working out the great
problem of human relations.
Democracy being way and
not an arbitrary law has flaws
MANY of them. But those mistakes
are man made and can be correct
ed by the will of the majority.
What rights the majority have.
can be retained by them only II
they alloy the same rights to the
minority. Because the majority
wants free speech, they must al
low it to the minority. The right
of argument and conversion IL
open to the minority and majority
alike.
Democracy is the way of evo-
luton. 1t took many years fol
democracy to overthrow the slay
cry of man - but its final doom
was sealed when the decision wal
first made to follow the democrat
ic way. The Emancipation Procla
nation was the inevitable result
of the Declaration of Independ
ence.
Democracy Is the only way tt
overcome the slavery of want, thu
slavery of ignorance, the SLAYER,
Of discrimination. We know tina
the solution will be found, fol
democracy depends upon the will
of all the people, and that is bu
the villa nd the courage of man,
individuals.
Democracy is the way of &C
ton. 1t is not static. Its growth IL
slow but neevr ceasing. 1t Is not
based upon tradition alone. Dem.
ocracy is the way to do the
things that must be done. II
must always move ahead. Dem
ocracy is the traffic rule of life
1t adapts itself to the exigencies
of the road. It's green and red
lights are spaced on the traffic
changes of the times.
Democracy is the way of jus
tice. Racial or religious discrimi-
nat1on, class hatreds, group pres
sure are all breaches of democ-
racy, are flaws in the road that
must and will be corrected in the
course of time. The way may be
long and hard but the democratic
way will prevail in the end!
Democracy like Christianity Is
a way that must be followed to
be proven. We know that 1t works
in a crisis. unwieldy though 1t
may seem to the outsider COM
pared to the quick arbitrary ac-
tions of the dictators. We were
