Aurio| Is Symbol Of Good Will

So anxious are the French to
keep the highest Office In the
land in the hands Of a political
man who will not trespass into
the realm of active politics, that
they refused Georges Clemen-
'ceau, one of the strongest men
in French history, the honor Of
being Frances chief of state.
The French were afraid that
the 'Tiger" would refuse to re-
main the figurehead he is sup
posed to be and would cause
trouble.
President Auriol is no Casper
Milquetoast. He was a fighter
in politics before World War II.
He was an active member Of the
underground while the. Nazis
held France under their boot
and after the war he became one
of the ablest ministers Of finance
his country ever had. But 1t Is
highly doubtful whether the
present incumbent of the finance
ministry ever bothers to ask Mr..
Auriol his advice. It would not
be proper to inject the chief Of
states views into matters which
are controversial or have even o
vaguely political tinge.
Unlike his American colleague,
the French president is COM
pletely outside politics. In order
to avoid the pitfalls Of dicta-
torial powers, France must keep
him above all political affilia-
tons.
Evening star., 1951-03-28
Little Political Importance Attached to
Of French President to United States

never outstrip Frances cultural
contribution to the world.
The president OF France is
by law-and in fact-a mere
figurehead, even more so than
the king of England. A strong
king can assert himself and
make reality out of the words
His Majesty's Government"
No such thing can ever hap
pen in the French republic. The
president elected by the Ma
tional Assembly, not directly by
the people, is a gentleman whose
main job is to unveil monu-
ments. lay cornerstones for pub
lie buildings and make COM
pletely non-political speeches on
such occasions. Unlike the Presi-
dent OF the United States, whose
powers are far greater today
than those of any other head
Of state except the dictators,
the head of the French re-
public becomes a non-political
man from the moment he is
elected.
This explains why, in gen.
eral, only colorless politicians
have been elected to the high
est Office in recent decades. But
even if mercurial personality
like former President Raymond
Poincare happens to be sent
to the Elysee, he becomes voice
less and politically powerless
during his tenure Of Office.
The only real job he has is to
offer the premiership, when a
ministerial crisis occurs, to the
man who can form a cabinet.
The final word in his selection
rests, however, with the French
Parliament, which must give the
new premier It's vote of con-
fidence.

asked for specifications about
beating imitation.
There are probably no two
questions put more often in
congressional mail than: When
are we going to end the war in
Korea? How are we going to
stop imitation?
It is not as if the existence
of the two problems could be
kept secret.
When Gen. Macarthur in
trudes his own predictions
into the Korean question, he
is filling an apparent vacuum
left by the United Nations or
America and her major allies
who seem to have found no way
to resolve the situation. The
general wouldn't need to be as
astute as he unquestionably is
to realize that any move toward
ending the conflict would find
a happy echo in public opinion
here.
But it is also an open secret
that Gen. Macarthur wants to
bring the Chinese Nationalists
into the war against Red China
with more or less United States
support. This contradicts the
State Department which caters
in part ut least to firm. even
absolute, anti-Chiang sentiment
on the part Of Britain and the
Commonwealth nations.
Yet the same dreary maneu-
Evening star., 1951-03-28
Constantine Brown:

The visit Of President Vincent
Auriol of France-which is the
first of French chief of state
to the United States-is more in
the nature of a good will gesture
than an event of political i'm
portance.
At the turn of the century this
would have been Of momentous
political Importance. The visit
of President Delcasse to st. Pet
ersburg cemented the alliance
between the French republic
and the czarist empire and laid
the foundation of the Triple
Entente with Britain. This al
lance had q significant bearing
on developments which led to
World War I.
Even the visit Of King George
VI of England to Washington in
1899 had political repercussions.
Although every effort was made
to give it a purely social char
acter, its meaning was not lost
to Hitler anS Mussolini. It was,
indeed, the first indication that
America and Britain would
stand side by side in the ap-
preaching conflict.
Today. however. after the
United States Congress has ac-
cepted the alliance with the
Western European nations and
committed itself to support
them in the event Of an attack,
the visit of Frances chief of
state cannot be interpreted in
any other manner than as a
thank you" call.
The French people. erratic as
their internal politics may be.
by and large are friendly to this
country, probably more so than
our cousins, the British. There
is latent jealousy among the
rank and file against the Ameri-
can "upstarts" who have taken
the lead economically and finan-
cially among the free nations.
But there is not spite among the
French politicians because
America has become politically
the paramount Western power.
Some Of them quietly deplore
the fact that we do not exert
this leadership with greater
strength and determination.
The French are conceited
about the role their country
has played in Western civiliza-
ton and are certain that what
ever ascendancy America may
have in the world today, it can

widely publicized cases. For In

our Government has become,
there is legitimate business
which also is ethical, and there
is also that vague shadowland
where ethics is sometimes in

but those vulnerable to the Full

secretly feel its blast, unless
they have become entirely

One of the most discouraging

it as public servants and fin

Immediately set up in practice

but enough to justify the Sena-

is a sort of tragedy, for it is
a distinct let-down for the "be-
levers" as well as potent am
munition for the "unbelievers."
1t tarnished something that was
hopeful and inspiring.

he did not include. That is

The reluctance of Washing

Tuesday by two important ad-
ministration leaders at widely

Secretary of Defense Marshall
commented that "the world sit

He then refused to say why.
The Secretary was equally in
conclusive about the perennially

authority by venturing into the

lotteries never have been able
to win majority sentiment ma
tionally to their side. The devas-
tating results of legalized ma
tional lotteries are to be found
in the historical records of a
half-century ago when people
of small income spent so much
of their savings in vain efforts to
make big winnings.
The fact that billions of dol
lars are spent nowadays in
organized gambling by certain
segments of the American pub
lie is well known to Congress
and the Treasury. One wonders
why a stiff tax an gambling
receipts wouldn't be a good way
to get a considerable revenue
from the areas where legalized
gambling occurs, and also why
the same heavy tax wouldn't
discourage organized gambling
and bring it within the Federal
jurisdiction. If every gambling
business were required by Fed
eral law to make an itemized
list of customers and to pay
a tax on receipts therefrom.
there would not be much left of
the gambling business. Local
authorities would find no diff

Thonos l. Stokes:
'Bombshe||' Aimed at Privi|eQed
Moral Lapse of Those Who Set Nations Standards
Certain to Spread Cynicism Among Our Youth

When Senator j. William
Fulbright, Democrat, Of Arkan-
sas. rose in the Senate and
tossed his moral" bombshell at
those who hide behind the letter
Of the law and pry favors out Of
Government contrary to good
ethics, it ricocheted among high
placed persons, both here and in
American business.
What disturbs the Senator
most about what he has seen
firSt-hand in his investigation
of the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. is "the moral blindness
and callousness" which permits
those in high places-and that
includes influence" practition-
ers. their clients and leaders of
our Government - to condone
unethical practices and accept
them cynically because they are
within the letter of the law.
For these are, in effect, the
elect and privileged who are
supposed to set our standards.
If our democratic society thus
disintegrates morally at the top,
how can we expect other than
the spread of cynicism to our
youth of the oncoming genera
tion? And how can we combat
Russian totalitarianism, itself
cynical and also ruthless, when
we discard our own most effec-
tive weapon which is our moral
fiber?
Those, basically, were the
broad questions raised by the
Senator. While he perhaps
drew too dark a picture of our
moral lapse, nevertheless he
pointed to moral laxity evident
here and there. AS has hap
pened before, that can weaken
an administration which, for all
that may be said in criticism of
it, has set certain high objec-
tives for our people and those in
the world at large with whom
we are joined.
There lies potential tragedy.
The Arkansas Senator placed
equal blame on what he bluntly
called "the bribers" and "the
bribed." The former, he said,
are "often men who walk the
earth lordly and secure; mem
bers of good families; respected
figures in their communities;
graduates of universities p.
of the privileged minority :"
Their partners are the men
through whom they operate
here-"men known as clever
lawyers; a cleverness which is
like the instinct of the rat that
knows how to get the bait with
out getting caught"
The Senator called no names.
Indeed that is difficult to do,
except when specifically demon
strated and proved as has been
