CONSTANTINE BROWN
Dissatisfaction in France

has penetrated deeply into
frances political life. This is
not expressed so much in the
strength of organized COM
munism as in a negative policy
toward everything. There is
not a single political man of
the stature of Clemenceau,
Poincare or BRAND. There are
only well-intentioned pygmies
not up to the task of leading
the country. such as former
PremierS Schuman, Pinay and
Faure: or ambitious second
rate politicians IKE Mendes-
France who are ready to go to
any extreme for personal po-
litical power.
We have in the past held
France in high regard and
looked with some amusement
at the antics Of her politicians.
Today. however, when we .
have established her as one
of the cornerstones Of the
Western coalition, we are
deeply concerned over what Is
going on internally.
AS things stand a French
government composed of mod
crate socialists and supported
by the right-of-center groups
would not last more than a
few weeks. A popular front"
administration composed OF a
combination of left-of center
parties and the Communists
might have a better chance.
But if such a political mongrel
were to come into Office we
might just as well write of
France as an active member
of NATO. Mr.. Mendes- France,
the prospective nominal leader
of such a combination, might
be Just another Kerensky. He
claims to be opposed to COM
munism and to the Soviet's
plans for Europe. All the same
his record is not one to inspire
confidence in this country. It
was he who surrendered
Northern Indo-China to the
Communists and caused the
defeat of the European de-
tense pact. And at no time has
he given more than vague lip
service to the North Atlantic
defense coalition.

Do the results of the French
election presage some future
drastic revulsion in that rich
but politically unstable coun-
try?
Observers in Washington
fear that the composition of
the new Parliament will not
permit the formation of last
ing cabinet. The dissatisfac-
ton of the French people with
their political system was ex-
pressed clearly in the fact that
the extremist parties gained
notable successes.
Gains were to be expected
Of the Communists who are by
far the best organized and dis
ciplined party. They offered
to those who want to accept it
a definite political program.
1t is not particularly palatable
to the traditional French in
dividualism. but it is more
than the other established
parties could offer.
The great surprise was the
number of votes cast for the
Poujadists. fiy-by-night Or
ganization whose slogan calls
for drastic reduction of taxes.
particularly for the middle
classes.
The Poujadists have no po-
litical doctrine. They take
their name after Pierre Pou-
jade, a small businessman who
got fed up some l8 months ago
not only with paying irksome
taxes but also with filling out
interminable forms. The French
red tape is older than ours.
The Poujade movement to
do away with taxes-except on
large corporations - began
with a handful Of followers.
To his great surprise 1t took
like wildflre. Poujade sup
porters received better than II
per cent OF the total vote at
this weeks election. This is
regarded more as a symptom
than an actual Endorsement
of M. Poujade's views. The
