pliers of the code Make that the fathers govern their families; then can make sure of gov erning the fathers France clung to this tradition long after almost every other country in the Western World had accepted the principle of equal suffrage
 But of course, it would be quite wrong to say that women have had part in French politics. Indeed it would be almost safe to say that in France women have taken a more lively and intelligent interest in political matters and have had greater influence them than anywhere else ln the world Much as it pains to say it. neither our Mrs Glare Boothe Luce nor our Mrs. Helen Gahagan Douglas has ever exercised is likely to exercise any thing like the political power of say Mime Recamier or Mime Tallien. The mistress of really prominent Parisian salon. it is said, had more power over the destinies of France and of Europe than whole bloc of deputies or a whole table of ministers.
 This indirect but effective use of political power by women is very ancient state of affairs. It goes back beyond the Revolution, beyond Mime. de Pom padour beyond Ninon de Lenclos, beyond Agnes Sorel And it continued down to the very end of the Third Republic, with such figures as Mime de Crus- sol and the Countess Helene de Portes. However, It could be said that this pettcoa influence on politics has always been confined to relatively few, cxcep- tonay talented buestockings and that the collective influence of the of France has never until now found expression in French politics
 ANYWAY it will be interesting to see how the thing works out, and particularly whether French women of the fashionable and intellectual sets will now abandon their salons and take to the stump, after the fashion of their sisters in the United States Here in Washington, where neither men nor women vote the salon is becoming established feature of political life

 The Justice Department is also planning suits against the notion picture equipment industry, case which will affect the Eastman Kodak Company; also against the SKF ball-bearing interests; also the machine-tool in d stry, also ncn-ferrous metal producers, in cluding the International Nickel.
 One of the most interesting cases, however, will be a crack-down on the farm machinery industry, by which it is hoped that the price of farm implements will be reduced.
 These are only the cases which the Army and Navy have received from the Justice Department and have okayed for trial. What else Attorney General Riddle has up his sleeve is not known.

ANTI-TRuST SUITS

Big business lobbyists have found a neat way to get around the Jus tice Department in regard to anti trust suits. They get their friends in the Army-Navy Departments to tip them off as to what monopoly suits are in the works and, if pos sible, they get their Army Navy friends to stop the suits.
 This is possible because, under a wartime order, all trust-busting suits. have to be referred by the Justice Department to the Army and Navy to see whether prosecu- tion would interfere with war orders.
 Recently, The Army and Navy have received a flood of antitrust cases, and it looks as if Attorney General Riddle was starting the biggest crack-down on monopolies in history. He is even going to out Thurman Thurman Arnold.
 One case the Army-Navy has reviewed is projected giant srnash-up of the electrical indus try. This will affect both American and foreign companies which have carved up the markets of the world among them to sell electrical goods.
 Another crack down will be against the diamond cartel. This will especially hit the British who,

battle, for instance, a U. $. plane reported that it had struck the giant Jap battleship Yamamoto, named for the late Jap admiral, and that a great burst of flame and smoke had spurted forth, con- vincing the aviator that the battle wagon had been seriously, perhaps mortally injured.
 Later, Admiral Halsey reported that the same battleship Yamamoto was engaging in combat with him. Apparently what happened was that the Yamamoto was struck on the deck, setting off some am- mllnition. But it takes more than deck hits to sink modern battle ship.
 Probably the most interesting phase of the Navy's communiques on the Battle of the Philippines was it's alibi on why Admiral Halsey diverted part of his force southwark" This gave away the hitherto unpublished fact that Halsey had chased wing of the Jap fleet south and was not near Leyte to help Admiral Kincaid make the final kill.
 Admiral Kincaid had in his fleet the old battleships West Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, California and Pennsylvania, badly damaged at Pearl Harbor but repaired. Ad- miral Halsey's fleet consisted of bigger, more modern, more power ful vessels. Part of the strategy was to lure the Japs in to attack Kmcaid's older vessels, then Halsey with his more modern fleet, would come in for the kill.
 But Halsey got lured away. An admiral with fewer victories to his credit might have been dis ciplined, though any officer in the heat of battle makes mistakes.
 Result, however, was that the naval victory could have been greater and that many U. s. ships were damaged, now have to be. re- paired. Also, there has been nc announcement of U. S. transports lost
