WHEN, during a recent week
end at Leon Blum's country
house, Mr.. Byrnes told the
French Socialist leader quite
bluntly what he expected in ex-
change for these five hundred
million dollars, the French So
cialist leader publicly agreed, the
next morning in the leading ar

French foreign policy. The result
was that part of the French

Blum will be the early destruc-

ty.
At the next elections, the
French Socialist Party will either
split into two groups, left wing
and a right wing, or lose fifty
percent of its popular support. If
it splits into a left wing and a
right wing, the left wing will no
doubt join the Communist Party
in the next Chamber on all is
sues. If the party does not split,
almost half of its members may
be expected to vote Communist.
The result will be that the
French Communist Party will
either emerge as the strongest
single party or. together with the

the strongest single bloc in the
Chamber. This win give the Com

We cannot emphasize strongly
enough the psychological mis-
take made in discounting the me-
mories of the people of France.
They cannot but consider the
Byrnes speech as a typical ex-
ample of American lack of sensi-
tivity, as well as lack of politi-
cal realism.
To be sure, the apoiogists for
the Vandenberg Dulles Wall
Street foreign policy pursued by
Mr.. Byrnes say that the Secreta-
ry of State, after all, did not do
anything else but outbid Molotov
for the favor of Germany. This
view is a typical example of the
confusion which prevails even
among the so-called best-informed
people.
FOR there is one fact which
cannot be altered and that is that
the Soviets have revised Ger
many's borders in the East to a
very considerable extent. Large
territories formerly held by Ger
many have either gone to Poland
or to Russia itself.
That is something which GER

the fact of these territorial
changes in the East remains.

Russia that Europe win re-

a line running roughly to the
Rhine River. AS far as they are
concerned, their basic feeling is
that the Poles and the Czechs

Russians than France has been
