Frantic French q Mirage;
Notes From Cannes Festival

Within the westness of West
ern civilization, which is never
supposed to meet the eastneSs
Of Eastern civilization. there
is an inner clash of values
and attitudes. It's the differ
ence between Latins and
Anglo-Saxons but this twain
does meet in France. Geo.
graphically she is jammed be-
tween the poles of Western
morals. True LatinS, Italians,
Spanish and their off-shoots
in the New World. find the
French quite Anglo-Saxon,
while Scandinavians. Germans.
the English, and we Ameri-
cans are convinced they are
wholly Latin.
Forget their political COM
edy and all our caricatures of
them. French people
mothers, fathers, girls and boys
your own opposite num-
bers, are solid, stable people.
After several years among
French citizens and marriage
with one of them the only
visible typical, hysterical
Frenchman I've seen was on
the stage of the Follies
Bergere; he was listed in the
program as "Frenchman, as
seen by foreigners" We, as
well as a few other countries,
were illustrated from the same
point of view and how funny
we are as others see us!
France presents a confusing
face to the world; many find
it charming but others think
it's revolving.
Inscrutable France
No wonder she's difficult to
understand. Officially the
Government is against religion
and at the same time it is
officially ultra family con-
Scious just as the people are.
Here. family that is not
firmly founded on the church
is considered no family at all.
Children are thoroughly christ
ened with saints names, no
other name is name, as far
as they are concerned. Laws
are conceived on socialistic
principles under which no sim
gle person can be credited or
blamed or held responsible yet
it's a nation of fiercely inde-
pendent, practical capitalists.
It's a country of "LIBERTE,
EGALITE, FRATERNITE"
but as for "Egalite" no one
has the least idea or desire
to break out of his class and
into another. "Fraternite"?
A Frenchman is the least
fraternizing creature known to
civilization. WomenS' clubs
don't exist and you couldn't
pay a Frenchwoman to belong
to one, much less attend
meeting. The only club toll
Grated by the men is one for
sports, They are SNUG people
and no one, anywhere, will
deny that. They are so salts
fled with their own ways that
one doubts if the Academic
Francaise has accepted the
word Improvement" for in
cluSion in the dictionary.
Point of View
Take for instance, natural
childbirth. French women al
ways have taken child bear
ing in their strike. To them
it presents no extraordinary
pain or problem. Natural
childbirth? but of course!
what else?" they ask, lifting
eyebrows and shoulders in a
gesture. Their serenity un-
doubtedly has saved them a
great deal of pain by the very
principle science has recently
discovered" The French
think we overcomplicate life
anyway. and point to the
scientific formulation of a to-
tally natural process as exhibit
