Stability and France

The latest French cabinet crisis has been
ended by the National Assembly's acceptance OF
Henri Queuille as Premier. What remains to be
seen, however, is whether he and his newly
formed government will be able to survive the
period between now and the general elections
that are to be held later this year-possibly in
June. He is not stranger to the office. In fact,
he enjoys the distinction of having occupied it
longer (from September, 1948, to october, 1949)
than any other leader in postwar France. But
when he returned to it last summer, he was over
thrown in two days. and much the same thing
can happen to him all over again.
Actually, if the Queuille government is to
stay in office until the elections, it will have to
ride out number of stormy issues that brought
about the downfall of Premier Rene Pleven. The
issues include the budget, price controls wage
stablization and electoral reforms. The latter
probably is the most difficult and explosive of ALL
The Communist parties completely
agreed that the French voting system should be
overhauled to do away with the fact that proper
tional representation plays into the hands of the
Reds. But the agreement ends there. AS far as
the method of revision is concerned, each party
determined to make sure that it's own parlia-
mentary strength will not be cut down by any
change-has its own ideas about how the thing
should be done.
Since France is nation of many political
organizations, this means that the ideas are as
numerous and conflicting as the parties them
selves. Accordingly, how to reconcile them, how
to reduce them all to a single acceptable plan, is
problem of the first magnitude. Premier Queu-
ille-a leader of the Radical Socialists (conserva-
tive despite their name)-has demonstrated ex-
ceptional skill in the art of compromise and CO.
operation, and he may succeed, with the help of
some luck, where the Pleven government failed.
If he does, then 1t is not improbable that he and
his cabinet will manage to remain in office as
"caretakers" until the French people journey to
the polls before the year ends and elect q new

rice paddles for the troops to pillow

South Korean ration is prepared In

its component parts can be readily pro-

Here's typical menu:
Breakfast: Rice starch or wheat and

The Turkish combat ration is partially
made up of food supplied from this
country by the Quartermaster Corps
and partially of food supplied by
contractor in Japan. When the Turks
and other Moslem troops eat at their

This combat ration comprises beef

Improving the Watershed

The Star deserves to be commended
for the fine coverage James Birchfield
is giving the report of the Presidents
water Resources Policy Committee. This
important report should be thoroughly
studied by all who are interested In the
future OF the Potomac River Basin. so
that the pros and cons can be debated.
A ski trip to West Virginia last week
end took couple of us through the
steep valleys Of the Potomac headwaters.
Two strong impressions remain that are
related to the committees report.
Every tributary that we saw in the
upper basin was rolling along with a
good volume. yet the water was crystal
clear and Of an unbelievable blue green
color.
My recollections of the same streams
in summer-the Cacapon, the South
Branch, and the North Fork-are Of
rather turbid waters at similar stage
No doubt the difference is caused by
the slow seepage Of melted snow in win
ter rather than the rapid run-off of
summer showers. In any case it was q
glorious preview of what these roaring
streams can be, winter and summer,
under proper watershed management.
Second. we were appalled, by the flood
damage still evident from 1949 Land
slides all the way down the mountain
sides, and alluvial fans of boulders at
the mouth of every gulch, attested to
the violence of the downpour. One
wonders whether any man-made pro-
lection of the watershed would suffice
against the great geological force that
was unleashed upon these valleys.
Nevertheless, the challenge should be
met, through better forestry and farm
practices, and possibly by building many
small dams up on the pasture streams
to impound freshets and thus reduce
peak run-of down the gulches.

Europe can ever be defeated, no matter
how great surface force we may muster
against 1t. He concludes that "the indis-
pensable condition of European rearma-

Of shielding the undertaking."
In short. the major tells us precisely
what ex-President Hoover and Senator
Taft have been telling us right along:
That it is not question of abandoning
Europe or going back into "isolationism,"
but Of the need Of our concentrating on
strategic air power for our very own
survival as well as the survival Of Europe,
by providing the shielding and retalia-

is helpless .. ..4,a
In short, what we are doing is exactly
what Russia wants us to do--to siphon

manpower, as we are now siphoning
them of in Korea. To transform Europe
into a military entity capable of resist

would require. according to the major,

Questions and Answers

saass fs2 s.l st The
rs1n MW & and nsTsng S cents
@. How far down into the ground does
frost penetrate?-G. B.
A. In the United States frost pene-
trates on the average to about ! inch
in the South UP to over so inches in
Minnesota and Maine; but in very long
and cold winters the extreme measure
ments have been 100 inches in Minnesota
and 108 inches in Maine. The frost line
reaches deeper and deeper as latitude
increases. and finally northern point
Is reached where the ground Is "ever-
lastingly frozen" which means that it
never thaws out completely but only the
surface may melt each spring and sum-
mer.
@. What Is the suicide rate in the
United States?-M. C. P.
A. The rate is about IA or is per 100,-
900 population during times Of peace
and economic stability. During both
World Wars it decreased to about 10 per
100000. Depression tends to increase
the rate as is evidenced by the fact that
during the 1920s it stood at IS or IA per
100000, and in the 1930s rose to II.
@. From what source was the national
emblem of India taken?-D. Y.
A. The emblem is replica of the
magnificent Lion Capital at Sarnath.
which was built by Asoka, the great In
dian emperor. The capital consists of
stone column crowned by four lions
