TOLERANCE IS STRENGTH
(THE DENVER POST)

(THE DENVER POST)
 The strength of democracy aptly illustrated last week when the French chamber of deputies voted Pre- mier Marie's government emergency powers to deal with the national economic situation That vote lifted great obstacle to the of the European recovery plan It is only the most recent in series of incidents when men of greatly varying political beliefs gathered themselves to vote togeherand staved off the strong Communist group in the French parliament
 Many of the who voted to give Finance Minister Reynaud almost dictatorial economic powers did not want to. The Socialists in particular freted about gv- ing much strength to the government Yet they voted for the bill because they knew that it essential to the success of the Marshall plan.

 After the war; the Communists first tried to gain trol of the government. Failing that they did take the ministry of industry. They so much con- cerned with proselyng than production that the Com munst minister of industry finally removed Last winter they attempted to stage general strike to de- feat the Marshall plan cause chaos in France and gain control of the government They supported the inter- ests of France only between 1941 and 1945, when French interests the those of Moscow-to defeat the Nazis.
 Perhaps it is difficult to understand why the French democracy olerates party which has openly shown it's derson of freedom and it's foreign loyalty Not to the French With the exception of General de Gaulle and the extreme light, they believe that every should be entitled to his opinions and they know it would be dangerous to force the Communists underground
 Being intensely practical, well intensely demo- cratic, the French tolerate their Communists
 Of this has made for trouble. Yet it has not
