MUCH HAS BEEN SAID and written in the past few months about the foreign policy of Great Britain; comparatively little has been said of that of Frpnce. And yet in many wows the orientation of the Quai D'Orsay from anti-fascism to pro-fascism is of greater interest than that of Downing Street, because of the factor of the Popular Front government, supposedly a bulwark against fascism at home and abroad. The Radical Socialist Party, center group of the Chamber of Deputies, right wing of the defunct Front, is preparing, under the leader- ship of Premier Daladier to take the lead in the formation of a union of the parties of the right in a national conservative government similar in structure and purpose to that of Great Britain. The significance of this move cannot be under- stood except in the light of the history of the Radical party. This party, during the 1920's the left wing in French politics, grew to be the strongest single group in the Chamber (though not holding an absolute majority) in the early '30's. But although previously committed to quasi-socialist principles, it grew more conserva- tive as it grew stronger, until it alienated the majority of the industrial workers who had once formed its chief support. The workers turned to the Socialist and Communist Parties, while the Radical Party in turn drew support from voters who had previously supported the candidates of the various rightist groups. In 1936 the Radi- cal Party formed a union with the Socialists and Communists for the .general elections of that year. This union, the Popular Front, won a* decisive victory at the polls, although the Radi- cal party itself lost a number of seats in the Chamber, where the Socialist Party became the strongest single unit. The government estab- lished was roughly in the image of the Front; for the first time France had a Socialist premier. In its first year the Popular Front government of Leon Blum accomplished a number of im- portant social reforms, notably, the establishment of the 40-hour week for French laborers. In the field of foreign policy, faced with the Spanish Civil War, it adopted a policy of neutrality and non-intervention, despite the sympathy of the French people for the Loyalists. Presently a split developed between the Radical Party and its colleagues. The latter, anxious to preserve the Front, made numerous concessions, supporting a government whose complexion be- came more and more definitely Radical in char- acter until the other two parties were virtually eliminated from participation. The key to the whole changing picture of falling ministries, shifting alignments and altered policies on the Quai D'Orsay lies in the field of foreign affairs. The Radical Party, originally united with the left parties to combat fascism, has swung round through its policy of parallelism with Great Britain to a policy of conciliation, surrender and peace-in-our-time. Each successive surrender to Hitler and Mus- §olini on the part of France and Britain has brought from the proponents of conciliation the plea that a lasting peace can soon be established in Europe, and from the opposition the warning that it will only bring fresh demands. The final test of the two theories appears to be near at hand. France is about to be faced with the demand finally to renounce the last remnant of the policy of resistance to fascism by aband- ,.~nn +th,f. Aamfan.cA a. ,m ',A+h . n Ta It should be noted that like the Conservative Party of Great Britain, the Radical Socialists have made a complete about-face in policy en- tirely without the consent of the people. Elected on a platform of support of the Popular Front and opposition to fascism, they have gone over to the cause of reaction at home and abroad without having to face the test of public opinion. If Premier Daladier is forced to call a general election on the question of the Soviet alliance, there is still a good chance that French pro- fascism will be checked. And yet, optimism is hardly warranted. The French people, like the English, were badly frightened by the Czechoslovak crisis. Daladier, like Chamberlain, made use of mobilization and war preparation to scare the populace into sub- mission, and gave "military weakness" as the excuse for surrendering, in spite of the statement of Gen. Maurice Gamelin, chief of the general staff, that the army was ready. General Game- lin's confidence in France's military prepared- ness, incidentally, was thrown into sharp relief by the resignation last week of Gen. Ludwig Beck, chief of the German general staff, because of his disapproval of the military measures taken over his head in the Austrian and Czecho- slovak crises. If no general election is forced by opposition to Daladier's program, none will take place till 1940, which, measured in terms of what happens in the space of a year and a half in Europe now- adays, is a long way off. Frenchmen, like English- men, apparently have a good chance of seeing the fate of Europe decided largely through the influence of their government, acting contrary to its election mandate, without ever having an opportunity to make their voice heard. -Joseph Gies The Editor Gets Told Logic Over Hysteria To the Editor: A letter appeared in the Daily recently asking questions about a letter of mine which was printed Thursday, Oct. 20. The question is asked why American capitalists will not smuggle goods into Germany in spite of legislation like the O'Connell bill, and also why American capital- ists will not want to support fascism on motives of principle as well as profit since its tactics are so near the tactics of men like Girdler and Ford. As long as there is more profit in making muni- tions and smuggling them to Hitler than there is in making bread for Americans, it is true that American capitalists will bend every effort to violate the laws of the United States in order to make war profits. American factory workers must refuse to manufacture munitions, long- shoremen must refuse to ship munitions, and a popular demand must be made for the passage and strict enforcement of the legislation sug- gested by the O'Connell bill. However, it must be admitted that such efforts on the part bf the people, though they do repre- sent an atack on capitalism-fascism, cannot permanently stop fascism abroad and the threat of it at home. Not until production is for use in- stead of for the profit of a few, not until we produce "bread instead of bullets," can fascism be stopped. Of course, the change from produc- tion for profit to productio.n for use will necessi- tate replacing private ownership and control of industry by social ownership and control. -Y. L. Turkey Talk To the Editor: This is my first attempt at a Letter to the Editor, but I now take pen in hand in what, I believe, is a worthy cause. It appears all the more worthwhile because of the fact, I confess, that I am a Senior and am spending my last year on campus. I hereby take up the cry for a Thanksgiving Week-9nd Vacation, a desire that was very nearly realized last year, when numerous petitions to that effect caused the matter to be submitted before the proper authorities. As I have mentioned, I am a fourth-year man. and I live about 300 miles from Ann Arbor- which would, of course, prevent me from going home for just the one day, but which would al- low me to join my family for the week-end, a family affair if there ever was one. Because of the fact that I will be at work next year I would certainly like to have this last chance to spend Thanksgiving at home. Can't we have, for the first time in at least four years, a week-end in which we can enjoy Thanksgiving at home? I would gladly remain in town to attend classes on the Saturday pre- ceding Christmas vacation if it would help "balance the budget" and enable us to enjoy Thanksgiving.I Can't I hear some other opinions on this. , matter? They nearly did it last year-let us do it this year! -James Smythe, '39 Nazi Way Of Life Since it is imperative that all loyal Nazis avoid any and all contact with Jewish influences, the following instructions, issued by order of Adolph Hitler, must be strictly followed. A Nazi who has syphilis must not allow him- self to be cured by salvarsan, because it was dis- covered by the Jew, Ehrlich. He must not even take steps to find out whether he has syphilis, because the Wasserman reaction which is used for that purpose is also the discovery of a Jew. If a Nazi suspects that he has gonorrhea, he must not seek to establish the fact, because he will ha inpr ? + M ,mthrir rof a m Taie ?enl~fito I . Heywood Broun At least one virtue must be assigned to General Francisco Franco. He certainly shows up his apologists. On several occasions some American has returned from a week- end with the insurgent forces and attempted to sugar-coat the leader of the Spanish Fascists. Ellery Sedgwick, among others, has sought to promote the belief "'? that the general is a high- minded gentleman filled with compassion for his countrymen. But none of these statements can stand up, because Franco himself in authorized interviews has demolished such fantasies. In the one which appeared yesterday Franco was particularly candid. James I. Miller, of the United Press, submitted the query, "Will you grant general amnesty when the war is over?" Franco's reply should be thrust under the nose of all those in this country who have espoused his cause. The general said-and remember, the dispatch was passed by his own censor-"There should not be returned to society an element of fomentation and deterioration, but I believe in redemption through the penalty of labor. Reform Through 'Labor' "Once it has been established what penalty fits the crime in question the criminal will be able to redeem himself through work and good behavior as a prisoner until he has paid for his crime. One day of good behavior will be equiva- lent to reducing the sentence by two days. We have more than two million persons card-indexed with proofs of their crimes and names of wit- nesses." The Columbia Encyclopedia gives the popula- tion of Spain, with the Balearic and Canary Islands, as twenty-three million. It may well have diminished during the last two years. And so General Franco is calmly promising to the world a greater terror than modern history has ever known. He begins with a working base of practically 10 per cent of the population listed as "criminals." Such a list is likely to grow rather than diminish if Franco should ever have an opportunity to put into effect his plan for reform through "labor." Of course, a much simpler word for the thing he suggests is "slavery." Apologists for Franco have defended air raids on civilians and the slaughter of women and chil- dren on the ground that these were actions necessary in time of war. But, according to Franco's own schedule, the fate of th civilian in time of peace would be even worse than during hositilities. An estimate of 200,000 is given in Mr. Miller's dispatch as the strength of Franco's armed forces. Granting the loyalists approximately an equal number, Franco has upon his card index the names of one million eight hundred thousand "criminals" to be drawn from the folk back home who have not actively participated in the fighting. A Broad Assumption For the sake of the argument let us assume that Franco does not intend to visit his peace vengeance upon the children of Spain or upon more than a few thousand women. This, I grant, is a broad assumption. Such tenderness has not been Franco's custom up till now. But let us assume it, anyway, because in that case you would find, roughly, one out of every four male adult Spaniards listed as a criminal and subject to punishment in the event of a Fascist victory. The genial general speaks of "witnesses," which suggests the fact and the extent of criminality might be taken up in some sort of trial. Obviously justice will move on wings, for there would not be enough judges to go around, let alone jurors. Franco probably means what he says, for there is ample evidence already that Fascism is in itself a kind of warfare. Franco says he has won and that the war is over. He seems to forget that he himself admits that there are still two million "criminals" to be conquered. No matter which way the tides may shift upon the field of battle, Franco can never win. If he were able to shoot or imprison the en- tire two million whom he mentions, others would rise up to take their places. No fight for liberty is ever lost until the last heart-beat of the brave is dead. The George Davis Bivin Founda- tion Prizes in the mental hygiene ofe childhood.
