Cabinet Crisis In France . . ALTHOUOGi the second Popular Front cabinet followed its predecessor into dissolution on the same issues of exchange con- trol and economic strife, the indications are that the Popular Front will remain intact, at least for the immediate present. The French parliamentary system is based upon a multiplicity of groups, and functions with a flexibility that is the antithesis of the clear-cut party system of the British House of Commons; the collapse of a French cabinet does not necessarily mean a change of control of the government. In order to understand the present crisis in France and the probable political destiny of the country, it is necessary to review the history of the Popular Front and the peculiar problems which that coalition has been called upon to face. In May of 1936, the Popular Front swept into power. It was not a political entity-it was simply the outcome of an understanding to pool votes entered into by three parties in order to control the 1936 elections. Having gained an overwhelming majority in the Chamber, Premier Leon Blum was able to rush through a program of social legislation of a fundamental kind. This program was supported in its entirety by the three elements of the Popular Front-Socialists, Radical Socialists, and Communists. M. Blum and M. Ailriol, Minister of Finance, proceeded on the theory that they could straighten the country's finances by increasing the purchasing power of the masses. But each raise in wages that was effected was followed by a higher rise in prices, and last spring the Government was forced to ask for a halt in the progress of social legislation. Finances, then, not lack of confidence, led to the resignation of Blum. With the franc falling in value, M. Blum was compelled, as numerous premiers before him had been, to ask parliament for full power to legislate by decree. The power was granted him by the Chamber but refused by the Senate, and rather than precipitate a crisis which might result in civil strife M. Blum resigned. The Popular Front was unaffected by the down- fall of the Blum cabinet and the new minister, M. Chautemps, was chosen from among its mem- bers. Blum, Auriol and ten other Socialists were included in the new cabinet, but the Radical So- ciglist portion of the coalition constituted a ma- jority. The most significant change was the appointment of M. Bonnet to the Ministry of Finance. Represented as being a champion of "sound finance," M. Bonnet proceeded to over- throw Blum's financial unorthodoxies, cut public expenditures and increase taxation. The power to control the franc by decree, which had prev- iously been refused to Blum, was now granted to Bonnet by the Radical Socialist-controlled Sen- ate. The Radical Socialists, under whose aegis the Popular Front now functioned, is a national party upholding private property and private owner- ship of the means of production, and it soon be- came manifest that opposition to its temporizing was smouldering among the extreme Left groups. The Chautemps-Bonnet government was accused of fighting exchange control, because, it was contended, once exchange control was achieved the Radical Socialists would no longer be able to blame labor organizations for the economic dif- version of the Popular Front, which finally forced his resignation. The probable action on the part of the various parties is, of course, still a matter of conjecture, but, as Professor Heneman declares in an inter- view in this morning's Daily, it is not likely that the Socialists will support a new coalition elim- inating the Communists and substituting one of the Right parties, or that the Radical Socialists will attempt to form a coalition of all Rightist parties. The Popular Front is apparently still very much alive in France. Elliott Maraniss. Campus Periodicals. THE CESSATION of publication of Panorama, which appears a strong possibility, will mark the second collapse of a student periodical in the last four months. With all respect due to the editors of Panorama for an original and enterprising effort, it should be pointed out that in a number of ways the demise of Contemporary, campus literary quarterly, was an event of more significance than that of Panorama would be. There is hardly a good-sized college in the country without a literary magazine of some sort, and Michigan can scarcely be proud of the distinction. Throughout its anaemic career Con- temporary was never given real support by the student body. The fault cannot very well be placed with the students, however; if literary periodicals are maintained on other campuses, there is little reason for thinking one cannot exist here, in the proper form and with proper management. Surely there is no dearth of material. Since the inception of the Hopwood contests, five novels which won awards have been published, the fifth being Emmanuel Menataganian's The Well of Ararat, which has just appeared. Besides these, a great amount of excellent material in poetry, drama, essay and shorter fiction is written for these contests every year, well worth publica- tion. Thursday afternoon Norman Rosten's play, The Death of a King, was enacted on the radio. The excellence of this piece of work has been attested to by nearly everyone who heard it. There are many other Michigan students who are capable of outstanding literary work, and several, in fact, who have had stories or poems published. There is every reason for believing that a literary periodical at Michigan would be one of the best college publications in the country. Joseph Gies. Joseph S. Mattes. Tuure Tenander. " THE FORUM] The Michigan Coed To the Editor: " This is directed to the typical University of Michigan Co-ed. It may sound fantastic, pointed, cruel, or comical but it's the truth written with due sincerity coupled with substantial evidence. Four years at the University (graduated June, 1937) have convinced me that the typical Mich- igan co-ed is the hollowest conceited snob I have ever met. Untutored in the ways of the world, narrow, she has boosted herself up on a tottering pedestal from which only the sight of a ten dollar bill and a male chest plastered with a BMOC rating can induce her to descend. Only for a brief space of time does she leave her perch. Up she clambers again after the date, to await another bite. Operating in a field of limited competition (sex ratio shows a pre- ponderance of males) she acquires a highly domineering attitude, ordering passing males to crawl in respect and obedience. How readily the male responds, one has but to review the statement of one Michigan co-ed who in a "Michigan Daily" poll last spring be- wailed the fact that Michigan men were so much like "pages out of Esquire." (She undoubtedly visioned the comfortable attire worn by West Coast men.) The Michigan co-ed has enslaved the Michigan man to where he dares not assert his masculine independence. Led by the nose, he has been re- duced to a helpless moron who debates the most minor move with "what will she think?" She has been the underlying cause in the fail- ure of more than one Michigan football team. How? Permit a sidelight on what makes the University of California football team, Rose Bowl Champions, the best in the country. Two weeks on the Berkeley campus and personal acquaint- ance with that team have shown me that All- American Sam Chapman is just plain Sam Chap- man; that Bottari, Herwig, Meek and all the rest are simply themselves. They are fully aware of the importance of their teammates in football victories. They know that without the support of the student body there would be no championship team. In simple terms, they have successfully defended themselves against Michigan's most common malady "swell headedness," a disease to which Michigan athletes succumb very readily. There is no "Michigan football swagger" among the California players. They are worldly wise, not inexperienced upstarts. Picture the typical Michigan athlete-a typed creature-lacking in- dividuality, as is the woman-just a white sheep! But I cannot entirely blame Michigan athletes for their social boneheadedness. I indict you co-eds. Your demands that he be a BMOC, that he be a "star," that he stand above the common herd found in the non-pencil pushing profes- sional schools have reduced to sorry spectacles. many innocent well-meaning boys whose original intention in coming to the University was "to Ii feems cM kleywood Broun In the contest between newspapers and radio for public attention as disseminators of informa- tion I am naturally on the side of the newspapers. I'm on a newspaper. But beyond that I thinK that important utter- ances can be more carefully evalued if they are set down in type for mature :onsideration. Over the air inaccurate and silly remarks sweep by because the list. tener may say to himself, "Maybe he didn't really say what I thought he said. I'll have to get my ears blown out." It is difficult to make a check on the slips which pass in the night. On the other hand, I think that newspaper men and publishers should be mindful of certain* natural advantages which adhere to the ethereal waves. It seems to me that perhaps journalistic tradition has been too kindly to certain public men. If I mention Mayor Hague I am selecting him not so much as an individual but as a specific and convenient guinea pig. And the fact remains that those who were interested in the Mayor's remarks at a recent rally in Jersey City got two wholly different versions. The report over the air was not the same as that which appeared in all the newspapers of the nation next morning. On And Off The Record Frank Hague gave to the press a prepared copy of his speech. When he stood up before the mic- rophone he departed rather radically from his official utterance not only in substance but in grammar. He is inclined to snub the plural ,and he said, "All the forces arrayed against me is animated by the Communists." This quarrel with standard speech he developed on several occasions. Whether his errors were purposeful or inadvertent I do not know. There are communities in which bad grammar is a po- litical advantage. There was a man in American life (I'm sorry the name escapes me) whose repu- tation was based upon a speech in which he said, "I seen my duty and I done it." I have always believed that Al Smith, in the days in which he was politically important, made a point of overstressing the "oi" sound in words such as "boid." Be that as it may, Mayor Hague appealed to his radio audience, for good or ill, in many sentences which did not parse and which abounded in er- rors of enunciation and grammar. But the kindly gentlemen and ladies at the press table followed the form of his official printed speech and saved him from all slips. A Problem In Newspaper Ethics The question is a difficult one. It seems to me that every working newspaperman hates to make the press too punishing. The orator who stumbles is not held up to scorn. The press tempers the wind for the ungrammatical lambs, and certainly there should be no stress on casual slips or mis- pronunciations. But I think that increasingly reporters must remember the radio and give not only a factual, but a phonetic record of our public speakers. The late John Hylan had his speeches written for. him, and the tougher words were spelled out so that he should not trip upon them. Once in a patriotic address he followed his printed notes too zealously and said distinctly-"What this country needs is more of the spirit of one seven-seven six." He had mistaken a historical date for a telephone number. But though the reporters did not like him very much, they covered him up. That will have to stop, for in spite of the fundamental kindliness of our craft, we cannot forget that the radio tells all, and we must do the same. racy prevailed in all phases of college life. Men and women alike were simply themselves, not assumed somebodies whose pseudo-personalities were no personalities at all. In regard to dress, social life, athletics, drama, journalism, in fact in all departments of college existence, a pleasing self-assurance and self-expression manifested itself. Yet, we cannot brand those people un- couth vibrant rustics, for they were intelligent cultured individuals, wide awake to life's realities. They were mentally matured, living at college the life that they are certain to find in the outside world. A West Coast co-ed does not resort to incessant consumption of cigarette after cigarette to man- ufacture that artificial stimulation necessary to support a thin-legged sophistication (often em- ployed to conceal inferiority complexes) which soon grips the most unsuspecting freshman co-ed at Michigan. In parting, permit me to remind you: Ladies, you aren't duping the men. Many Michigan men, it is true, have fallen victims to your dictatorial wiles, but a major share, I assure you (I say this from four years of personal contact with Mich- igan men) have expressed utter disgust with your aimless behavior. With wide a'kake eyes, normal men view you as they would a basket of nuts covered with cellophane. They see beneath the lid! -Thirty-seven.
