The French Elections

The French cantonal elections
are interesting chiefly as an indi-
cation of the political trends which
will express themselves in the ma
tional elections later this month,
when deputies will be chosen for the
new Assembly which will determine
Frances political structure. Deduc-
tionS based on these cantonal elec-
tions should, however, be made
with certain reservations. In the
first place, the French canton is a
unit roughly corresponding to our
county, and in all such elections
local issues and personalities play
large part in the outcome. Sec
ondly, the vote seems to have been
generally light, almost nowhere
rising above go per cent of the reg
istered voters, while in many in
stances it fell to 40 or even 80 per
cent. This may indicate wide
spread popular indifference in local
affairs, but it is hard to imagine that
such apathy will extend to national
issues.
Bearing in mind these qualifica-
tions, the results themselves por-
tend a moderate shift to the left
and an implied Endorsement of
General Charles de Gaulle. The
outstanding winner is the Socialist
party, which gained more than 800
out of the approximately 5000 can
tonal council seats. This is more
than double their standing in the
last cantonal elections, held in 1887.
The French Socialists, like the
British Labor party, believe in at
taining their ends by free elections
and gradual methods. They are
strongly opposed to the Communist
doctrine of revolutionary dictator
ship and the suppression of opposi-
tion to it's will. 1t is on this basic
issue that the French Socialists
broke their wartime resistance"
alliance with the Communists, and
the French people appear to be
swinging away from the Communist
trend In the recent elections the
Communists won only about one
tenth of the seats-barely one-third
those of their Socialist rivals.
Perhaps the most interesting fea-

ture of the elections is the marked
showing made by a new party, the So
called Movement Republican, Pop
ulaire, usually termed the M. r. p.
This new grouping, headed by
Georges Bidault, right-hand man
of General de Gaulle, is the French
phase of the Christian Socialist
movement that is running strongly
in Western and Southern Europe.
Like the Socialists, it is evolution
ary, plus a strong religious empha-
sis. 1t should logically cooperate
with the Socialists In national poll
tics.
No one party has obtained even a
plurality, much less majority.
France thus remains multiparty
country. and it's future governments
must therefore rest on coalitions.
Just what the combination will be is,
of course. uncertain.

Old Cellar Holes

There is something poignantly
appealing about them. One finds
them along old winding country
roads, back in the hills and in little
secluded river valleys. Sometimes
one comes upon an old cellar hole
far out in the woods, mute evidence
of. a pioneer home of long ago.
They are to be found on the brows
of low mountains and on stony,
thin-soiled upland stretches.
To him who is sensitive to the
signs of historical tradition the
cellar holes tell story that is rich
in heritage. A century ago this
granite walled cavity was the site
of a bustling farm. Now it is a
mass of tangled thorny vines. A
clunp of gray birches is growing
in one corner; tall, scraggly red
sumac <liftS its garnet banners in
another. At one end is a tumbled
heap of bricks, remains of the
chimney. Here at the edge of the
foundation wall is the round,
smooth, weather-grayed granite
rock that served as doorstep to the
kitchen. A few yards away are the
two cut-granite steps that gave en-
trance to the parlor.
Now Nature has reclaimed her
own. Once these slopes were sunny
fields where OK teams and horses
plowed and narrowed. There were
acres of tall green corn and fields of
oats and barley, golden-tan at har-
vest time. One can still see the re-
mains of the family orchard, gaunt,
twisted limbs of Northern Spies
and Baldwins reaching above the
birches, alders and hemlocks.
A few generations ago the snug

We Lose q Good Man

Richmond B. Keech, whom the
President has chosen as one of his
administrative assistants, has been
a pillar of strength in the municipal
government and he will not be cas-
lily replaced. His value to the COM
munity, as District official, far
exceeded the services he rendered
as corporation counsel. In fact, the
same qualifications which the
President is obviously seeking in an
administrative assistant are the
ones which gave Mr.. Keech unique
status at the District Building. Few
equaled his knowledge of the local
government, and he applied this
knowledge in counsels on policy and
in his relations with Congress in a
manner that won universal respect.
He has been so loyal to the public
interest and so upright in his con-
duct that his approach to matters
affecting the District assumed an
objectivity which bred unquestioned
confidence, from his associates and
from the public with whom he dealt.
He has spent twenty years in the
municipal government, and it would
have been question how long he
would continue in public service
with new opportunities coming his
way to enter far more remunerative
private practice. Never having
voted in his life, and never having
identified himself with politics, his
promotion to White House duties is
based wholly on widely-recognized
merit. He will take. on his new re-
sponsibilities with the affectionate
best wishes Of an unusually large
circle. of friends and acquaintance

low-lying farmhouse nested against
this hillside. Perhaps this clump
of sturdy lilacs was set out by a
young bride when she and her hus-
band just moved into the house he
had built in the center of few
cleared acres. In the big kitchen
above this cellar hole families
gathered for meals and spent the
long winter evenings. Babies were
rocked in cradles here, and grand
mothers sat in little Boston rockers
and knitted socks and mittens. And
in this home boys and girls dreamed
youths dreams and went away to
the cities in the outside world. Old
cellar holes are part of our history
reminders of day when life was
simple and a Nation was grow
ing up.

ings sometimes seemed less than can
did, that, too, could be overlooked, for
there was a continuing need while the
fighting lasted to hold the Allied coal-
ton together, even if this had to be
done at the expense of plain speaking.
But no cuch excuse or justification
could be advanced last month when the
foreign ministers of the victorious pow
ers met in London to beginning the
writing OF another peace. The fighting
was over, the enemy beaten. The time
was at hand for first sample of the
expected open diplomacy. But this was
not to be- AS their predecessors had
been doing for some many centuries, the
ministers locked the doors and reverted
to the old routineS. This time, however,
they accomplished nothing, not even
secrecy, for despite the efforts at sup
preston, the facts leaked out, although
SO obscured by misinformation and
wishful thinking that the final, utter
failure of the meeting still came as
something of a shock.
Today, the modern statesmen seem
somewhat stunned by the futility of
their efforts at London. There is talk
vague talk-of evolving new procedures,
and it is not to be doubted that another
attempt at peace-making will be made.
When that time comes, however, the
people of the world-at least those in
the countries where they can make their
voices heard-ought to demand that
they be given reasonable opportunity to
know what their diplomatic representa-
tives are trying to do and why their ef-
forts are succeeding or falling.

popular magazine asked Ber-
trand Russell sometime ago what he
would say over the radio if he were
given the privilege of speaking to the
entire population of the United
States. Among other things, ne said
that the only way to have this better
world about which all of us are talk
ing, is to produce better men and
women. Mr.. Russell would hardly
acknowledge that he was saying any
thing in support of the Christian doc
trine of the New Birth, but there are
many of us who believe that expert
ence has taught us that righteousness
is not outwardly imposed but in
wardly inspired, and that this is only
accomplished through the spiritual
rebirth of individuals.
We may not accept all that John
Calvin had to say on the subject of
total depravity but we are quite ready
to agree that it is much easier to be
selfish than it is to be unselfish, and
much easier to be small than it is to
be magnanimous. We have reached
the conclusion that we require some
vital experience that will strengthen
our better impulses and subdue our
baser ones, and that no experience
short OF complete surrender to the
will of God will accomplish these re-
suits. When self is denied, dethroned
and conquered, and one learns to love
God with all his heart, mind, soul and
strength, it naturally follows that he
comes to love his neighbor as himself,
and the Golden Rule is no longer an
ideal to be striven for, but normal
expression of an inner quality of life.

The strength of the Axis armies
during World War II was largely due
10 years of indoctrination, during
which the youth of the Axis nations
were nodded into the personif1cation
of the aspirations and ideas of their
leaders. The cause of peace will
never have sufficient strength to
triumph until men in every nation
become thoroughly committed to the
spirit and ideals of Him who is in
deed the Prince of Peace. Religion
must therefore play major role in
providing the spiritual means to
peace.

The Argentine Problem


In moving to bring about the
poStponement Of the Rio de Janeiro
Conference because of events in
Argentina, the State Department
seems to have been more than
awkward in its methods. In the
first place, it apparently acted
without properly consulting the
other countries of the hemisphere.
And in the second place, after hav-
ing taken its action, it sought to
confer with the Senate Foreign Re-
1ationS Committee as if the step
were still being considered and not
already decided upon.
1t need hardly be said that such
A procedure has not been favorably
received, and as a result although
no irreparable harm has been done,
the State Department now has an
unnecessary mark against it in the
Senate, and the diplomatic repre-
SentativeS of the other Americas
are reported to have indicated their
diSpleasure. The issue involved is
not over the departments attitude
toward the Argentine government,
but ever what appears in some
quarters to have been our unilateral
approach to the question of post
ponement.
The conference, which had been
scheduled to begin October 90 was
to have worked out a pan-Ameri-
can security system, with Argentina
eligible to participate. The State
Department, however, moved to
have it deferred on the ground that
there would be no sense in nego-
tiating with representatives of the
Farrell-Peron dictatorship. There is
much to be said for this view, but
even though the Pan American
Union now has unanimously voted
for poStponement, the lack of full
prior consultation still rankles in
some quarters, and it is at least
arguable that if the conference had
been held as scheduled, Argentina
could have been effectively barred
from participating.
When the conference finally will
be held remains to be seen, but
there is little doubt that a new date
will be fixed in the near future.
Meanwhile, although the State De-
partmeEt'S methods may occasion
dissent here and there, there ap-
pears to be general agreement on
its attitude toward the BuenoS
Aires< government. Last spring,
after promising to live up to its
obligations, Argentina was read
mitted to the American family of
nations. Since then, however, espe-
cially within the past few weeks, it
has shown that it is so lacking in
good faith that time is wasted in
trying to do business with it, and
the United States and the other
Americas must deal with it accord
ingly. Words apparently are not
enough. Despite all the harsh
things said about it, it continues to
upset hemisphere unity as defiantly
as ever.
The problem is one calling for
the most thorough American
consultation on how to make Argen-
tina a good neighbor, and Under
secretary of State Acheson declares
that such consultation is now being
started. This is encouraging, be-
cause by means of it a concrete
way may be found for unseating
the exasperating little dictators
who rule today in Buenos Aires.

SbiritnaL Means to Peace
By the Reu. Ed1Oard Hughes Pruden, Phi. D.. D. D.,
= Minister, First Baptist Church

Since it generally is agreed that
most OF the worlds conflicts have an
economic basis, it would seem that
religions major contribution to a
stable world order would be an in
sistence upon the application of the
principles contained in the Golden
Rule. Personal and national selfish
ness inevitably lead to crises which
not infrequently lead to open con-
f1ict. The have-nots are quite pre-
pared to risk what little they have
in disturbing the status quo in the
hope that resultant conditions will
be m-re in their favor. Unless W c~l
guarantee to men reasonable por-
tion of this worlds goods, we cannot
expect peace to be anything other
than a brief interlude between wars
Religion cannot be satisfied with
solution of the problem that would
merely pass on to the have-nots just
enough to keep them from rising up
in revolt. 1t must insist upon such
a degree of unself1shness that each
individual, regardless of his race, ma
tionalitJ or creed, can cultivate to
the best possible advantage his tall
ents and abilities, and thereby make
his supreme contribution to the COM
mon good
*s x *
Fiowcoer, when we speak of insist
ing upon unselnshness, we know that
we are speaking Of the impossible.
Men may display en- outward appear
ance of unsclflshness, but this is only
of temporary velue in the settling of
immediate disputes. The same old
attitudes that brought on conflicts in
the past will sooner or later create
new ones. Unselfshness by insistence
is an impossible thing, and even if it
wcre possible it would be of ques-
ticnable value.
It is therefore evident that re-
ligion must offer something that can
cure selfishness from within, and that
is exactly what the Christian religion
has been offering for nearly 1000
wears. We may have more up-to-date
rhraseology for describing the eX
perience today. but actually it is the
same thing concerning which Jesus
spoke to Nicodemus and which He

Ready to Begin

The London Council of Foreign
Ministers has so monopolized the
spotlight of public interest that it
has quite overshadowed another
international gathering that pro-
ceeded simultaneously in the same
city. And it is surely an ironlcal
paradox that, almost within a
Stone'S-throw of the wrangling
ministers who finally adjourned in
deadlock, representatives of the
same powers, comforting with those
of nine other nations, were smoothly
and amicably performing their
designated task. This was to pre-
pare the way for the formal eStab-
lishment of the United Nations Or
ganiZation, which includes not
merely its political phases but also
the economic, social and judicial
organs provided for under the San
Francisco Charter. Amid the gloom
spread by the diplomatic crisis pre-
cipitated by the council failure, a
ray of cheer is cast by the progress
attained by the Preparatory Com
mission of the UNO. The degree of
that progress is attested by a state
ment just made by the United
States delegate, former Secretary of
State Edward R. Stettinius, jr., that
the commission has a good chance
of completing it's labor before the
end of the current year. He also
announced that the thirty nations
required to make the UNO Charter
operative had approved the docu-
ment, with ratification of the re-
manning twenty-one nations on the
way. This legally validates the
UNO, with all that the valuation
implies.
Mr.. Stettinius rightly stressed the
vital necessity for speed in getting
the UNO organization into actual
operation. The important thing
to the distressed peoples of the
world" he said, "is to bring into
being the organs of the United Ma
tions-the Security Council, the
Social and Economic Council, the
Court and other organs-at the
earliest possible moment. I have
heard nothing to change my view
one iota that we should stick on
the trail of completing our work
and bringing the United Nations
into being in 1945, so that 1946 may
see the organization at work"
Indeed, Mr.. Stettinius' thesis is
greatly strengthened by the very
failure of the Council of Foreign
Ministers to reach an agreement.
The United Nations Organization
automatically stands out as the log
ical means for implementing the
imperative necessities of a war-torn
world and for attaining that gen.
eral peace settlement envisaged by
Secretary of State Byrnes in his
radio report to the Nation. 1t would
seem to offer the only visible alter
native to a balance-of-power ar
rangement which would negate the
hope for genuine world co-opera-
ton based on law and justice. Such
a negation would leave the world
under the perpetual shadow of the
atomic bomb. 1t must, somehow,
be obviated.
