If the Assembly had voted
against letting Germany into
NATO and had overthrown the
Mendes-France government, the
crisis for the free world as a
whole could hardly have been
exaggerated. At the same time
it would not, as far as this OBJ
server could see, have reflected
any lack of responsibility by
deputies or any failure to un-
derstand what was at stake. It
would have meant simply that
majority of the deputies saw 1t
as their immediate responsibility
to vote against German rearma-
ment. It would also have re-
flected their skepticism of the
argument that the future of the
Atlantic alliance was involved in
their decision or their convic-
tion that If in fact it was in
volved the responsibility was not
primarily theirs.
This was logic that Mr.. Men
es-France had to disprove to
win his vote. That he succeeded
speaks we'll for his powers of per-
suasion applied in the course of
half-hour speech which must rate
as something of political MASTER
piece.
For majority of French repre-
Sentatives, the result of last
nights vote represents an un-
happy compromise with their
own sense of responsibility i.
q bitter and distressed resigna-
ton to a course of events which
they now realize they are power
less to resist. And so far as the
French are concerned. the burden
OF responsibility from now on win
lie with those who forced the de-
cision upon them.

gone the other way and the
Assembly after all had voted
against rearmament of Germany
and its entry into NATO?"
Would such a choice really
amount to final proof of the
responsibility of the French
Assembly and justify whatever
measures the allies might take
to write France out of the North
Atlantic Alliance?
Endless Complications.
Debates in the French Parlia-
ment are often rather confusing
affairs. The endless complica-
tions of parliamentary procedure
and subtleties of internal party
politics too often succeed in COM
pletely obscuring the main point
under discussion. Yesterdays de-
bate was different. AS speaker
after speaker rose to explain his
vote, the Parliament for the first
time came face to face with an
issue that has divided and para
lyzed the country for years. And
for first time the observer was
impressed by the very real di-
lemma which France is UP
against dilemma which no
responsible and honest French
representative can ignore.
Two facts are perfectly clear:
II the issue were presented sepa-
rately and the French people
were asked to vote on German
rearmament, the overwhelming
majority of them would say no.
If they were asked to vote on
whether or not France should
stick to the North Atlantic ALI
ance, the answer would be an
equally resounding yes.
For the outsider, the solution
Of this dilemma may be obvious
ana easy. In this case, the re-
sponsibility of the French legis-
lator is to rise above petty ma
tional prejudice and conform
to the decision of the community
as a whole.
Responsible to People.
Unfortunately, however. French
Deputies don't see it that way.
Like most elected politicians.
they consider themselves pri-
marily responsible not to the
North Atlantic Council or to
some higher international con-
cept but to the French people.
And it takes a great deal of per-
suading to convince them that

French people they would be

TO illustrate, an amount of Penicillin that
once cost $18 now sells for less than Zoe,
same quantity and strength.
But that, in itself, doesn't begin to express
the bargain modern drugs represent.
IssYou can remember when a person having
pneumonia often had to go to the hospital,
lost weeks of wages, and ran up a sizable
medical bill The disease went on at great
length until 1t reached the crisis" and
then maybe you'd make it, and maybe you
wouldn't. With all that medical science
could do, 1t was gamble and costly one
at that.
2 Today, If caught promptly and treated with
modern drugs, pneumonia can be cured
quickly, for fraction of the cost, often
without the need of going to the hospital.
Considering how little they cost, and how
much they're north, these drugs represent
the greatest bargains in the history of man.
Here is another example-the reduction in
the price Of Insulin.
