The explanation OF this paradox
that a country so powerless is
yet so powerful-is that in General
de Gaulle the French have found
leader who acts in the present
on what he nnoWs will happen in
the future. I had come to Paris
from London where I met num-
Der of men who were making
schemes, as other men are making
them in Washington, for controlling
Germany during the next 10 or Is
years. l found that in Paris some
one had realized, and of course it
was General de Gaulle himself.
that all these schemes were de-
signed to control Germany in the
very years when Germany would
be PROSTATE, and that the schemes
would come to an END just about
when Germany could again begin
to be, if she ever is after this war.

French government is basing its
policy on the assumption that if
theorists in Washington and Lon

German settlement, there will nee
essarily be a second settlement
in which France will play the lead
ing part in the west-a few years
hence.
Those who have grasped this,

SMOKE SHORTAGE

WASHINGTON. Dec. 5. - R =
The Federal Trade Commission is
going to try it's hand at finding
out where the cigarets have gone
Chairman Wheeler (D-Mont) Of
the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee requested the investi,
cation. He announced today the
ETC had agreed to make it and to
try to learn whether any break
ing of laws had contributed to the
smoke shortage.
Wheeler said he understood both
the manufacture and the distribu-
ton of cigarets would be covered
in the inquiry, under terms of the
Sherman and Clayton antitrust
acts.
Government agencies and trade
sources have said more cigarets
are being manufa ctured than ever
before, and that more are available
for civilian purchase than in any
year except 1943. Suggested expla-
nations of the fact that they are
scarce at the cigar counter have
ranged from more smokers through
depletion of stocks by Christmas
gift buying for servicemen over.
seas, to panic buying and boarding.
The Senate War Investigating
Committee has agreed on a prelim-
mary investigation, but has set
no hearings yet.
Wheeler said he wrote the com.
mission on complaints that no CT
garets were to be had in his home
state and added: THE situation ir
Montana is the same as it is every
where else, I suppose"

SUGAR SHORTAGE
WILL CONTINUE,
EXPERTS DECLARE

WASHINGTON, Lee. 4E(P)-The
sugar situat ton is getting worse
and the shortage may be prolong-
ed, the Commerce Department re-
ported today.
The decrease in shipments OF
raw sugar from the Caribbean in
recent weeks was given as the
main reason.
This decrease came at a time
when sugar refiners had expected
to be in position to fill backlog
of accumulated orders. The depart
ment said it might force curtail-
ment of refinery operation.
The Commerce Department said
nothing about changes in sugar ra-
tioning. But the worsening situa-
ton clearly indicated the POSSIBLE
ty of cut in ratioring of sugar
for industrial users who have been
the first to be affected by re-
duced supply.

fore making up their minds that
the only way to have the first Ger
man settlement be the real settle
ment is to start all ever again by
including the French government
at the beginning.
A lesser man would not have
begun as General de Gaulle has
begun by insisting on restoring the
greatness of France before his peo-
pl had enough coal to heat their
houses. He would have struggled
with the economic difficulties of
France. But De Gaulle, knowing
that the economic problem is in
soluble until the war is finished,
lets his ministers struggle to find
what palliatives they can. Ee
knows, and events will surely
prove him right, that a France
which concludes the war as one of
the victorious great powers will
have both the material means and
the spirit to repair the devastation
but that a France which enos
the war as client OF Great Brit
ain or the United States will get
too little help from them and will
have lost the capacity to help her.

l wish I could report thai the
tragic muddle of our official rela-
lions with France had been cleared
up by the recognition of the Pro
visional Government The fact is
that it has not been, and the rea-
son is, think, that except for the
ambassador himself. the staff of
the embassy in Paris is the same
staff that SO completely miSiudged
the French resistance when Admir-
al Leahy was at Vichy, and the
significance of De Gaulle when Mr..
Murphy was at Algiers. DO not

those men do not honestly and 10y

1t. do mean to say that their
records prevent them from max
ing the kind of contact with France
today which the staff of the en-
bassy must have if the ambassa-
dor is really to know what is going
to happen, and if he is to give the
Secretary of State and the Presi-
dent the information and guidance
which they will need.
1t was wise to choose as ambas.
sador a man who had never been
entangled in the lamentable history
of Vichy and Algiers. But it is a
capital error not to staff the EN-.
bassy with men who have no pref.
udices from the bad past, against
whom F'renchmen hold no preju
dices from the bad past.
This is not an agreeable thing
to report. But some one had tt

to be the truth. For we canno
