these frequent changes, caused
more by partisan politics than by
the temperament of the French
people, had come to be considered
as part and parcel of Frances life,
they seldom occurred on the eve
of world crisis.
The world situation is considered
today-not only in this country but
also in continental Europe-as
even worse than in the summer OF
1899. One of the reasons the ad-
ministration in Washington was so
keenly anxious to have Congress
vote s5,OOo,o0O,0o0 for the Euro
pean Recovery Program was to
avoid just such a situation.
The executive and legislative
branches Of the Government be-
lieved that If we were to pour
into France more than $1,000, ,o0O,-
900 worth of food and raw and
manufactured materials, the French
population would have sufficient
respite from economic troubles to
start in earnest a constructive re-
covery policy, Whlch IL was hopeo
would expand from the economic
to the political field.
Military Program Is Issue.
It was obvious to our diplomatic
observers that while political stabil-
ity could not exist without improve
ment of overall economic conditions,
the reverse was true, too. America S
assistance at this critical point of
Europe's fight for freedom should
have brought at least temporary po-
litical stability, despite the existence
of the multiparty system in the
French republic.
These expectations now may be
frustrated, for the French parlia-
ment is playing politics just as if
the wolf were not at Frances door.

mier Robert Schuman fell because 1t

so. Here in Delhi there must be
10000 holes-in-the-wall and side
walk and street spots selling cooked
food OF all sorts. In these "restau-
rants" one pays for food by weight.
Each meal is weighed on a pair
of hand scales and the cost is
based on ounces.
All Delhi taxi drivers are rob-
bers. The cabs have no meters so
the drivers exact the fare that suits
their fancy. The charge is supposed
to be rupee a mile, but five-

four to five rupees.

ting perjury. Mr.. Chambers has
offered no convincing evidence to
support his charges, and Mr.. Hiss
has failed to establish his innocence.
Nevertheless, remarks of committee
members, as reported in the press,
indicate that they incline to a be-
lief in Mr.. Hiss guilt before 1t is
established. This is highly improper.
Mr.. Hiss failure to recollect many
things, such as how he eventually
disposed of his old Ford after he
had lent it to Mr.. Chambers whom
he claims to have known as George
Crosley; his failure to recollect
whether he left all, part, or none OF
his furniture in the apartment he
says he leased to Crosley (alias
Chambers); his contradictory testi-
mony regarding the familiarity or
unfamiliarity of Mr.. Chambers
features-all these clearly are max
ing bad impression on members of
the committee. which they do not
conceal.
Forgetfulness Seen Plausible.
But under some circumstances,
the innocent can be the worst wit
nesses in their own behalf. Assum-
ing that the substance of Mr.. Hiss
testimony is correct: That he met q
stranger, supposedly free-lance
writer, casually; that this stranger
needed an apartment and he had
one on his hands during an expiring
lease; that he also had an old car
standing about unused; that he
leased or lent the apartment and
the car, and cannot remember
which, and even has to have his
memory logged to recall anything at
alt-I find nothing incredible IN
this.
People whose minds are concen-
trated elsewhere repeatedly suffer
total obliteration of memory con-
cerning events that seem to them,
at the time, of no Importance. I am
supposed to have a good memory,
and my profession has trained me

Armament was great stroke for
world peace as was also his sue
cessful efforts to abolish the Anglo
Japanese alliance. 1t is no dis
paragement of his record to note
that subsequently the United
States failed to follow through
wisely on the necessary sequels to
both these steps.
Throughout Washington there was
always a great admiration for Mr..
Hughes, irrespective of party. The
fight against confirmation which
came from labor unions when he
was appointed Chief Justice made
him sad, but he never admitted it
publicly-and he told the writer
at the time that his opponents would
some day find out how badly mis-
taken they were in trying to make
him out "reactionary." They did
find out. For many of the Hughes
decisions are landmarks in liberal
ism.
My own impression of Mr.. Hughes
will ever be associated with three
unforgettable scenes-he was the
only Chief Justice in history who had
the opportunity to administer the
presidential oath to the same man
at three successive inaugurations-
1888 and 1887 and 1941. 1t always
made me think of 1909 and 1913 or
1917, when on any one or two of
those occasions Charles Evans
Hughes might himself have been
taking the oath of office. He would
have made a great President. He
should be rated in history among
the greatest of our public servants
both because of his unimpeaohable
character and rectitude and because
of the quality as well as quantity
of his public services.

This Changing World
Fall of French Government Is Seen
Coming at Critical Time for Nation

large sums of money for military
preparedness for defense and pre-
sented an exhaustive program for
war materials and an increase in the
military service Of its citizens. The
Marie government fell, among other
things, because Finance Minister
Paul Reynaud asked for an equally
drastic curtailment of the military
program.
The actual reason for the COL
lapse is that the parliamentarians
continue to jockey for power and
keep their ears close to the ground
for every evidence of public feeling.
And public feeling in France is as
divided today as it was sometime
ago.
Unions Oppose Plan.
Mr.. Reynaud wanted to introduce
an "ascetic" financial program. cut
ting down much of the superfiuous
bureaucracy and the overswollen
salaries paid by the government.
The labor unions, which exist in al
most every walk of French life, are
represented as opposing this far
reaching plan.
Although in recent months Com
munist domination of these organ
izations had fallen considerably,
there still is enough influence on
the side Of Moscow's stooges to in
duce restlessness and crippling
strikes. Under this threat, which
had an echo in the National AS
sembly, Premier Marie decided to
give up his seals of office
Eighteen months ago the French
people were In such a low frame
of mind and so afraid of another
conf1agration that
Georges Bidault. then foreign min
lister, told a prominent American
that they would rather hear the
boots of Cossacks pounding the
pavement of the Place de la Con-
corde than face another invasion.
Moscow Talks Slowed.
The situation has changed some
what since then, but the recent an
tics of the assembly make many
observers wonder whether
some radical change in the French
spirit of independence, which was
so strong in the war years, has
occurred.
Meanwhile, until a new cabinet is
formed in Paris and approved by
a majority of the assembly, the
Moscow negotiations necessarily are
slowed down, to the great delight
of Prime Minister Stain, Foreign
Minister Molotov, and Deputy For
eigp Minister Andrei Vishinsky.
Trouble turks around the corner
in France, particularly when ex-
trenist contenders like Gen. Charles
de Gaulle and Maurice Thorez are
on hand to take advantage of
Frances crisis.
