Questions
On Treason

PARIS, July % (UP)--
Marshal Petain told the
French high court of justice
trying him for treason today
that he signed the 1040
armistice with Germany sin
order to save France and help
the Allied victory"
Petain, hero of Verdun in the
first World War and chief of the
Vichy regime in the second, made
plea in his own defense after
the opening preliminaries Of his
trial for his life in the jam-packed,
heavily guarded Palace of Justice
courtroom.
Demonstrations against Petain
broke out and the red-robed Jus
tice, Pierre Montgibeaux ordered
the courtroom cleared and a little
later suspended the hearing.
REFUSES QUESTIONS
Petain opened his own plea at
3:20 p. m. He rose to speak, al
though the judge gave the 89-
year-old marshal permission to
sit. His voice rang clear and firm.
II will not answer any ques-
tiOns," he began. II did the
necessary act In order TO save
France and to help the Allied
victory by proclaiming the
armistice.
"What would the Allies have
done IL De Gaulle and the Allies
had landed In France and found
nothing but ruin and ceme-
teries? used the powers given
me like a shield to safeguard
the interests Of France.
ASKS HISTORY TO JUDGE
IL did go so far rs to sAcri-
fice my reputation, although I
had knives at my throat disput-
ing every step with the enemy.
History will Judge how much I
did to save France by thus
fighting with the enemy"
Warming to his description OF
himself as man serving France
and the Allies while heading the
Vichy regime dominated by the
Nazis. Petain cried:
"If you condemn me, let this
condemnation be the last one.
You will be condemning an In
nOcent man.
IL will not ask for the mercy
Of the court, because n marshal
Of France does not ask for pity.
1 throw myself back on tho
French people for their judg-
ment."
He said he had served France
all his life and II serve il still in
the present. l have given France
the gift of myself, and will con-
/ tinue to serve by telling the truth
in this court"
SAYS HE MADE PATTERN
"A great part OF the world
will back me-" Petain said, "be-
cause I represented the great
Christian tradition In figkting
against excesses OF every kind,
As well rs In supporting the
principle OF the family and the
principle OF work along the
lines Of social reform.
Anything that may be done
by the present government can
only be done along the same
lines as those I already had
laid down"

Pacific

GUAM, July % (INS)-Lt. Gen.
Doolittle returned TO the Pacific
today to help finish a job he began
more than three years ago.
He has established his Eighth
Air Force headquarters in the
Okinawa area.
Doolittle, who led the history
making Tokyo raid by q handful
of carrier based Mitchell bombers
on April 18, 1912. said that in his
opinion Japan may fold up without
an invasion. but that aerial plans
include tactical support Of Ameri-
can ground forces if an invasion is
necessary.
WIDESPREAD RAIDS
He said that the B-29s which his
air force will fly from the Oki-
nawa area will strike at Man.
churia, Korea and even Mongolia. >
Doolittle smiled of any at
tempts to draw him into a pre-.
diction concerning the length oi
the war.
The baldish, chunky air officer
does not expect 10 be allowed tc
bomb Tokyo again. His boss. Gen
Spaatz, probably won't let him
he said.
BARRED FROM BERLIN
Il pleaded with him to let me
fly over Berlin" Doolittle ex-
planned. And he refused, not so
much because I was considered
too valuable but because I knew
much of future plans and they
figured II I were a prisoner the
plans would have to be revised.
"Much as dislike it, I'm
afraid he won't let me fly over
Tokyo either"

FRANCES
MIDDLE

France is trying to work out a new con
s|titution and there is a lot III the process
for the United States to watch. The rapid
fall of cabinets was the scandal OF preWar
France. French government instability
was often used, too, as a reproach to the
so-called parliamentary system. Ger
many had parliamentary government
too. and see where it ended. The thesis
is advanced that maybe the flexible par
liamentary system is all right for the
phlegmatic British, but it would never
work for peoples like the French, Ger
mahs-or Americans. ct is odd that tins
argument excludes the Canadian.)
In a celebrated article in Harper's after
World War One, Frank |. Cobb, brilliant
editor Of the old New York World, pointed
out that none of the nations emanclpated
at that time modelled their governments
after the United States. All OF them re
iected congressional for parliamentary
Government. Much car be said for and
against. but the great fleXibility OF the
parliamentary system has certain points.
Take Winston Churchill right now. lie IS
a defeated leader. Under the American
system. he would presumably go on the
scrap-heap. Hoover was defeated II
there was no place left for him under our
system. But Churchill is defeated and he
is automatically right back in Parliament
again. His great voice is not muted; his
experience not lost.
Another point might be made. If the
Republicans gain control Of the House III
next years congressional elections, a STU
alton of stalemate and divided authority
will be presented for which Il Con S
ton makes no provision. me Whlte
House will be held by one party, the popu-
lar branch Of Congress by a rival party.
Nearly always it has meant two un-
happy wears of Illustration and acrimony
It would be hard to think of a private
business exposing itself to a risk like
that.
Constitutions are important things, anc

new one. WHY was it that French cabi-
nets seemed to last only a few months, or
a few days? The average duration oil cabl-
nets during the whole Third Republic
was only eight months.
Well, the French Constitution of 1879
was modelled in part on the British, IN
part on the American plans Of govern
ment. and it seemed to take the poorer
features of each. Under the true parlia-
mentary system, the executive and the
legislature are counterposed. The Prime
Minister (executiye) has the power to
force dissolution of the Parliament. This
makes a protesting legislature think twice
before it tries to balk the executive. On
the other hand. the Parliament has the
w to unseat the Prime Minister and
Cabinet. bv a 'no-confidence" vote.
Under such conditions, a Parliament
will only vote to unseat a cabinet II 1t IS
fairly sure of voter support. 1t must have
asense of responsibility because 1t 1t votes
out the rival party it goes to bat itself.
This wasn't the system in France. The
French had a travesty, III one sense Oh
the parliamentary system.
The French Parliament had the power
to force the resignation of the Premier
and Cabinet at any time but (and here
was the catch) the Premier lacked the
reciprocal power to force a dissolution Oh
Parliament. In other words, the french
Parliament could, and did, act caprlcl-
ously.
In the second place, the 1873 Constltu-
ton established a bicameral system with
the powers Of the upper chamber ylrtu-
allv equal to those of the lower. inns Is
trne of the American Senate; it IS nc
longer true of the British House OF Lords,
The American system, Of course, breaks
off the executive from the Legislative
power. and then. in turn, breaks the legls-
Iative power in two. The British system
combines the whole thing pretty much IL
one chamber. Both systems have WORKED
fairly well ON the whole, but the Frenci
tried to mix the two, with poor success
A French Premier constantly ran the rlsE
of being ousted by the Chamber OF Depu
ties (Which he couldn't dissolve) and, OF
top Of that, of having a bill which he dl'
manage to get through the lower champe
blocked bv the conservative Senate. An(

deadlocks and recurrent paralysis. I'M

but torturing doubts have made
me miserable ever since. find I
don't wholly believe Jerry, I don't
really trust him. When he gives
me some excuse for being away in
an evening, or on a Saturday after
noon, l suspect him of starting an
other affair. If some girl in the Of
fee speaks of him I wonder if it is
with that girl. I have seriously
thought of trying to get work with
the same company, but the impos-
sibility of getting domestic help
makes that impracticable now. So
I am writing to you, to ask you if
you think I should trust Jerry, and
if am wrong in my attitude?"
He Will Do It Again.
My answer is, unfortunately, that
I think a man who does this once
will do it again. His vanity has
been flattered by the sweet poison
of Arlene's surrender: his sensations
have been far too delightful to be
easily forgotten. 1t may be months,
it may be years, but he will fail you
again.
But that doesn't mean you are
wise in distrusting him, spying on
him, suspecting him. You are ex-
tremely foolish to put your whole
happiness in a weak, attractive
husbands hands. Live for other
things, your lovely children, your
friends and studies and interests and
amusements-in a word, live for
yourself. Take from him whatever
friendship, companionship, planning,
help you can get-resign yourself to
the fact that your idol has feet of
clay-is selfish, weak. blind some-
times. The cruelest revenge you
could wreak on such a man is to give
him his divorce, and let him find out
for himself in just what fools para
disc he is living. But for the chill
dren's sake don't do that; just ride
out the storm, and realize that no
woman can have everything.

Africa Gave Us Gladiolus

The gladiolus IS native Of South
Africa, where quite number of spe-
cies are found growing wild. Some
are fragrant, and they vary con-
siderably in size and shape and date
of blooming. Yet all of them would
look very poor indeed in contrast
to even the poorest of our garden
varieties, for great deal has been
accomplished by hybridizers in CIV
ing fine color and larger flowers.
For this reason none of the wild
species are cultivated in our north

Ships Paying-Off Pennant
Extends Length of Vessel

One of the oldest signals flown
by a ship is the white paying-of
pennant which is hoisted on a Brit
ish naval vessel to show that it is
homeward bound to be put out of
commission, says Golfers.
Although this pennant is only two
inches wide, its length is equiva-
lent to that of the ship, which may
be hundreds of feet. Therefore,
a small balloon has to be attached
to the end of the ribbonlike
streamer to keep it in the air.
