The document recently issued by
the Foreign Office, setting forth the
French views on Germany,s future

political federation only loosely con-

was not Mr.. Bidault's work, but
Leon Blum's. It is even more
definitely in opposition to the Rus
sian point of view than to that OF
Britain and the United States.
Mr.. Bidault is uneasy over the
matter. When the document was
drafted the Communists were not In
the government. 1t seems certain
that they will not support the policy
of q government In which they hold
five important posts If it opposes
MoScow's views.
Trusts Star of Destiny.
The foreign minister could reverse
the policy Of Mr.. Blum, but he knows
the average Frenchman favors a
politically decentralized Germany.
His dilemma is to know how to
reconcile the overwhelming public
sentiment with the desire Of the
Communist party. If he plays along
with the policies Of Mr.. Thorez he
will lose popularity and expose him.
self to custer from the leadership
of the MRP. On the other hand, If
he follows the trend Of popular feel
ing and resists the Communists on
the German issue, the Communists
may provoke another crisis on some
flirasy excuse. What would happen
in such case is anyone's guess.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Bidault,is trusting
his star Of destiny, which has stood
him in such; good stead in the past.
He hopes something may happen to
ease his position. He is going to
Moscow accompanied, as protocol
requires, by Nine. Cornu. But an
expected addition to the Bidault
family will prevent his diplomat
wife, whom some of MS friends con-
slider his ablest adviser, from travel
ing with him to the Soviet capital.
