"GALLIC CHARTER" by j. G..
Fernand-Laurent little, Brown;
$3.50.
Even though it seems that every
Fcenchman who is in position
to do so has written a book, there
is one more that should be read.
II is J. c. Fernand-Laurent's Gal
lie Charter M. Fernan-Laurent
served in the French Chamber CT
Deputies, and had good connec-
tions. But the more important con-
sideration is that he also has a
good mind, and apparently very
little fear Of mayhem. Otherwise,
he would not be as frank as he
is about General de Gaulle, among
others. Finally, M. Fernand-Lau-
rent is a realist, basing his re-
alisn on the firmest Of all foun-
dations, which is an active ideal
ism.
The book is kind of historical
survey, up to a point, designed to
show how France got to the state
OF mind that characterized her in
the. 'thirties-and also to show how
Petain, Laval, ct al, reached 4
point at which the state OF Petain,
Laval, ct al, became more impor-
tant than the stateapf France. This
ground has been fshe over thou

Cruelty Personified

In mid-morning yesterday little girl not
moro than two sat on the front seat OF an
automobile parked on Front street.
Tn normal circumstances she would have I'M
pressed one as a pretty little lady. Her hair
was dressed becomingly. Her tiny dress was
freshly laundered. Her features, one might
believe. were better than good.
But there was nothing pretty about the spec
tacle she presented. Her face was distorted
with fear. Her eyes were streaming tears
Her voice, which must have grown hoarse
from sobbing, was pitifuily weak.
She was alone il the car-alone and terrified
What Burns said about mans inhumanlty
to man making countless thousands mourn Is
nothing compared with adult inhumanity to a
child.

Cooperation In Oil

One of the leading oil companies OF the
United States that has conquered many prob
lens of oil production, refining and transpor'
tation, and along with other American com
panies, has helped service the worlds great
est fleet of automobiles, n d finally, the
worlds greatest war, offers some sound sug-
gestions on how to assure the continued dis
covery and efficient use of petroleum.
It proposes that the United States and Great
Britain adopt comprehensive and enlight-
ened world oil policy as first ste. toward
peace and prosperity.
Based on the principles Of international CO.
operation, free enterprise and equality Of all
nations, it suggests an international agree
ment, through which the authority Of no ma
ton need be abridged and adherence to a
world policy could be obtained voluntarily.
Comparing the successful development OF
climate of free enterprise with the less IA
vorable results in countries having state mo-
nopolies, restraints and determinations the
company stated that freedom of enterprise
should be encouraged to stimulate finding and
testing of possible oil resources.
Equality Of access by all nations to shis
vital raw material can be attained only in a
free international economy. The surplus oil
q the producing countries must be available
3 each and every consuming country. Oul
government can contribute directly to the es
Enlistment and continuance Of such an econ
omy by giving the support Of its diplomac!
to those Of its citizens who seek to engage

Cherbourg Captured

Cherbourg has fallen. Frances third most
important port is in Allied hands.
There has been some complaint that the
victory was long time coming. This is I'M
warranted. A glance at a map of Cherbourg
and its inner and outer defenses should con-
vince anyone that instead of being long cam

near miracle in taking the city so quickly.
The actual battle of Cherbourg lasted five
days. Previous attacks in its area were prep
aratory to the final drive. That Bradley was
able to finish truly herculean job in two
days less than week stands as one Of the
outstanding achievements Of Allied attack.
But the capture of Cherbourg does not mean
that the campaign in Normandy is over. There
still remain strong pockets of German resist
ance on the peninsula which may require
long days of combat to wipe out.
From now on the fight will be betwee.
Montgomery and Rommel, as in Egypt and
Libya, on strictly strategic basis. This seems
to give fair picture Of the outcome. With
adequate support Montgomery again will out
fox the Nazi commander in Africa.
In fact it appears that this duel has already
started, with Montgomery drawing first blood
by striking hard at the German main reserve
strength in Normandy. The Scotchman in the
beret does not believe in dallying when the
time comes to strike With the port of Cher.
bourg open for Allied deliveries, as it quickly
will be with American engineers on the joh
to repair Nazi demolition damage, Montgom-
cry will not lack for men or materiel to clear
up Rommeps forces on the peninsula.
Then will come the question, in the lay
mind at least: where will the next move be
made? The Germans, in agreement with many
rocking chair strategists, foresee a campaign
against Paris, in the success of which Ger
man strength in France would be divided
The Nazis seem to think this is coming as
attested by the report that they are mining
the Paris area. Paris is an open city, by Nazi
decree, but that would mean nothing to the
Hitlerites. If they had 10 move out they'd

treasures as they could without conjunction

But the high command may have something
else up its sleeve, something like a new at
tack through the Low Countries, or in south
ern France, or even, as many suspect, by
way Of the Balkans. Until the action is start
ed, we may we'll be content to know that
the Allies are firmly established in France
and hold a mighty port.

Congress In Recess

The New York Times has a word Of praise
for the closing days Of Congress. It did a
better job, just before it recessed. than was
generally expected Of it. It passed the &c. l.
Bill of Rights and crucial appropriation bills,
and renewed the price coatrol acts, all OF
which the Times approves. But the paper finds
Ugh to condemn in the action which leaves
kation without Congress in session at
critical stage Of the war.
The long recess that Congress is taking"

pared il in fact the end should come sudden
", And we are simply not legislatively pre-
pared today for that possibility. For the end
Of the German war alone would involve tre-
mendous economic reconversion. The prob
lens connected with that reconversion will be
enormous in number and scope. Only with the
most careful advance study and preparation
are we likely to solve them. Every days de-
Law in making crucial decisions in Washington
after x-day comes will mean increasing con-
fusion in business, increasing unemployment,
waste loss and suffering. The months I'M
mediate1y following the surrender or collapse
Of Germany will be critical months Tor the
whole future Of our national economy"
Although nothing could be done about it
now, the Times points the way to remedy.
IF Congress were so organized that it could
leave central overall committee in Washing
ton to prepare or perfect the legislation that
is now necessary, so that if an emergency
arose Congress could not only be called into
immediate session but would have a we'll
considered program Immediately presented to
it. the risks of the present recess would be
considerably less than they are in fact

Charter" better than most because
it has two attributes usually lack.

But the meat of the book is in
the last two chapters. The next

think successfully, to put Charles
de Gaulle into perspective with the

Laurent does not castigate de

takes. He merely shows that
