WABHINGTON, Bept. 3—The Frerch ér
become axiomatic tha
7 isd Yet Premier-elect Robert ‘Schuman this | week found it necessary to warn she national: assembly that France is thro away: her | liberty. “That” he said, “ls what 18 at stake” Oné trouble is, France is trying to solve her |. difficulties merely by changing: premiers: - : reshuffling cabinets. Under the new: constitu ; it was believed that sort of thing would be edgtmed. The opposite has proved to be ihe, | e, ean X 2 In the 60 years of the Third Republic, tha average ‘cabinet lasted eight months: Under the Fourth Republic the average has been about five months, There is a similar tendency for rotation of leaders. "
No True Elections ot
ANOTHER DIFFICULTY is that France hesitates to hold the elections necessary'to provide herself with a truly representative national assembly. Eat ka : The municipal elections last. Dotober gave Gen, Charles de Gaulle’s party nearly 40 per cent of the popular vote. The Communists won about 30 per cent. That would leaye 30 per cent for all the other groups. Bath ia mii Yet in the present assembly the Communists hold 186 seats; the MRP (Popular Republicans), 166; Socialists, 103; parties of the center, 70, with a scattering of seats by smaller parties. The De Gaullists are not represented at all, is means that any majority ‘obtained by a French government now is a dadgerous {llusion. It lacks organized popular s@ppért. ‘The Communists have more votes thii’ they are entitled to while another huge fection of the people has nb volce whatever, ~ *°
Time to Pull Together
THIS COMES at a time when France needs to pull together as never before. Tremendous sacrifices are ahead if she is to keep her head above water, $0 "a M. Schuman mentioned a few of them. The franc must be saved. There muat be increased production, Industrial production. is still. only 92 per cent of 1939. "Exports must. be increased to pay for imports, Production costs must bé lowered. So must the cost of living. The budget, prodigiouisly out o6f balance, must be put in order. At least B0. billion more france must be forthcoming from taxpayers before the end of the year. A unified country is needed to face a world in turmoil. . France needs--and must have if she is to régain and hold her European leadérship—a “government of sacred union.” Bagk in the days between the Franco-Prusélan War and World War I that is whut she used to do whénever she found herself in peril. She forgot partisan politics, and leadérs from extreme right to extreme left rallied to the Tricolor.
Elections Long Overdue =~ °°
UNFORTUNATELY, experience has shown that the extreme leftists of today cannot be trusted in cabinet jobs. Théy merely stop all government. But surely all the others have the interests of France at heart. 3 Private advices from France “indicate that new national elections already ware overdue. Many Frenchmen stilk think of De Gaulle as “difficult” to get along with.

History in Dog Periods
WHICH BRINGS me to the point of today’s fece-—-namely the discovery that it might be he better part of wisdom to consider history in terms of dog periods instead of epochs identified by President, politicians and publicists, as is the present practice. ‘ For example, it would be much more to the point to cpll the period of my childhood the

aughty Nineties,” the “Yellow. Nine 8” or the “Moulting Nineties,” a label (and fuel) thought up by a Princeton professor (W. L. Whittlesey). The truth is that my formative ars reflected the virtues and markings of e noble Newfoundiand--gentleness, modesty,

The Bulldog Came Into Style
I CAN'T remember just when it was, but
“sometime toward the ehd of the 19th Century a
new order of things elbowed the Newfoundland out of" his well-earned place. The bulldog was shoved into the picture, along with Theodore Roosevelt, the doctrine of imperialism and a shocking creation known as the ‘peek-a-boo shirtwaist.” + The.vogué of the bulldog came to an end When Richard Harding Davis, the dude war correspondent, returned from the Boxer Rebellion (1900). On that occasion, he brought with him a Scientifically selected pair of Chinese. choWs,” The exotié animals gave a good account of themselves, with the result that almost immediately the iandscape took on an entirely new complexion. Subsequently, the American Scene changed every few years and in such rapid suecession, indeed, that I, for one, can't recall the exact sequence of dog periods. However, they left a lasting, if confused, impression. Today, I can't look at any breed of dog without recalling the "fragrance of a day gone by.” Especially fragrant is the memory of Don,

the St. Bernard period. He betonged to the Rev. Oscar McCulloch, And like his master, he too had a deeply religious nature.’ At any rate, he liked to attend church with the result that too often he attracted more attention than the preacher. The lack of concentration on the part of the parishioners finally moved the Mes: . Culloch family to lock up the dog on Sunday mornings. : Af time went on, however, Don thought up a strategy of his own by disappearing the evening before. He kept track of the calendar by observing that the upstairs bathroom was lighted on Saturday nights. apn
Entered Pulpit, Sang With Organ
THEN ON SUNDAY he would wait until the services was well under way, meander down the aisle, jump up on the rostrum and lie down to drink in the great truths expounded from the pulpit. This wasn't so bad except that when the organ started up, he also deemed it his duty to participate in the singing. At this precise moment, it was always the humiliating task of a little boy, now knowh . ag Dr, Carleton B, MeCulioch, to drag Don back up the aisle in the face of the suppressed giggles of his father's congregation. The Llewelyn setter period sticks in my mind because of Philip Zapl’s dog, Duke, who was as naughty as the McCulloch dog was good. When Duke was only six months old, some overzealous champion of the hypothesis that dogs are like human being gave him a drink of beer. . To the surprise of everybody (except, of course, the champion of human prerogatives) the dog gulped it down and whined for more. Believe it or not, he lapped up seven glasses on that oceasion.: And I hope I don't have to tell that back in the Llewelyn sétter period, the size of beer glasses were a heap sight bigger than they are today. An advanced state of intoxication was the result, of course. When the jag was over, Duke: was a confirmed toper. Subsequently, he contracted the shocking habit of leaving his Vigginia Ave. home early every morning and not returnidg until late at night. In the.course of his daily debatiches, He visited every one of the 150 saloons which, at that time, infested the downtown district of Indianapolis.
Slept Off Jag on Tracks 4
ONE DAY, however, Duke laid his tired body on a streetcar track to sleep off his accumulated load. It required 25 stitches to sew up Philp Zapt's dog. The consequences were even worse, gangrene set in and Duke's tail had to be amputated to save his life. After that, there was no mistaking Duke, not even when he was sober,

The figures show clearly and at a glance where we are losing ground, so to speak, and where we are gaining. The compilation is, that of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co., but it undoubtedly will correspond closely with ‘those of other companies

THE WARRENS ARE—
A Vital Family By Marquis Childs
SANTA MONICA, Cal, Sept. 3—It would bé hard to find a more typical western family than the Earl Warrens, They have been spending * thé summer in a cabin near here with access to the mountains and the beach. Both parents and young overflow with vitality. Not only the five Warren children but their friends and dates are constantly in and . out of the simple cabin with its rustic furniture. Young Bobby is pumping the ancient player piano on the second-story gallery that gives’ onto the bedrooms. In the kitchen Earl Jr. 18, is cutting up one of the big tuna fish he caught on an early-morning deep-sea fishing trip with hig father. The two younger girls are dashing out for a beach picnic. «. ’ : Bobby, who at 13 is a crack shot, reminds his father that they are to leave at 5:30 in the morning for two days of hunting. The governor, who has been making speeches and shaking _ voters’ hands looks remarkably fresh.

But béneath the charm and the attractives ness Earl Warren is a shrewd politician with a practical and realistic knowledge of the conflicts and the demands of the nation and, particularly, of his region--<the great new empire of the West. He knows that water is essential if the present phenominal growth is to have permanence. And this brings him up against one of the sharpest issues in this state; an issmie that many have accused Gov. Warren of ducking. That is the limitation in the Bureau of Recla mation Act providing that no individual may get water from a government for more than "160 acres of his land or 320 acres held by 4
central valley where large corporate landowners insist that the limitation cannot be made to apply to them, since they held the land before the proposed reclamation project.
