Edge Is Putting Fra “ABW AMBASSADOR ATPARS MEASURE UP T0 PREDECESSOR French Never Tire of Recalling What Herrick Did, Nor of What Successor Says HE INVESTIGATES INDUSTRY —_ | Red Tape Cut to Get Knowledge of Conditions at First Hand; Is Also a Good Host By MINOTT SAUNDERS (NEA Service Writer) Paris, June 3.—(?)—What says His Excellency, the American Ambassa- dor? Some such question as this is being heard more and more, not lightly in diplomatic circles, but considerately in cold company conferences wherein the involved economi: problems that exist between France andthe United States are being discussed. For more and more France is real- izing that with Walter E. Edge, as American ambassador, she has to deal, first and foremost, with a business man. Also his own countrymen know it, and whether it is a question of imported films, automobile sales, U.S. Ambassador to France - an astonishing precedent by person- ally investigating industral conditions of the country to which he was as- signed. No ambassador of any country ever did that here before, but Mr. Edge has done it. He has come to understand the industrial leaders of France and he has made them respect him. There is that very important prob- lem of a new Franco-American com- mercial treaty, which is being fol- lowed by business interests of both countries. What says the American ambassador? “We must avoid over-optimism,” he says. “A gratifying optimism has | been manifested on all sides with our industrial studies. We have done ; Preparatory spadework in improving |the economic intercourse between France and the United States. We have not pretended to be magicians who could dispel all economic ills with & wave or two of a magic wand, but j We are able io take formal steps look- ing to the organization of business re- lations between the United States and France.” These trade negotiations are now in | progress and it is expected that they will extend over a period of several |months. The French press is keenly | @live to the importance of these ne- | Botiations and quite unanimously ap- | Proves of the business methods of the | American ambassador. Not an Enviable Job When Edge came to France his job could not be called an enviable one. He replaced a great American, sacred to the hearts of the French people. School children of France are taught the touching story of Myron T, Her- rick. When that :ame is mentioned Frenchmen salute. They are raising Ambassador and Mrs. Walter E. Edge, above, have moved into the American | statues to the late ambassador of the embassy, in Paris, and given to it a decidedly home-like atmosphere. The| ‘United States; they are his of France. Time is indicating that he will be as an American to French history what Lafayette is to American | goal. With the living memory of Herrick still vivid, Edge took over the Amer- ican embassy. It is no secret that he quickly injected new life into the various departments. Mrs. Edge was young and charming, and much to the delight of French interviewers, she spoke French. Where an aged and lonely man had held sway for years, there came two rollicking chil- dren, playing in the gardens with their nurse, and changing the whole atmosphere. A lively social regime was anticipated. Acted With Distinction But Ambassador Edge immediately got down to business and has been very much engaged with economic affairs ever since. With the excep- tion of the Washington birthday din- ner, given in his honor by American societies here, he has not appeared at any function of great social and po- litical importance. Mrs. Edge has done her entertaining quietly and proven herself an admirable helpinate of a busy man of affairs. The ambassador has fulfilled his public obligations con- servatively and with distinction. It is in the field of business and trade that Edge has becomie conspic- uous as America’s representative in France. When he speaks of his work it is like this: “We have thoroughly recognized— and French industrial leaders unre- servedly agree with us—that economic competition between nations, as be- tween individuals, is healthy and should always exist. We are anxious to help solve problems, not to dis- sipate a robust or friendly rivalry. I think I can confidently state that we THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 1930 have the full support of French bust- ness men in working toward this Comparisons are as odius as ever, but if it has been said that Edge was not a Herrick, it has latterly been said that Herrick was not an Edge. The tasks of the two ambassadors can be considered identical only in the respect of safeguarding friendly relations between France and United States. Hence, while the French never tire of recalling what the for- mer American ambassador said, they now ask what the present American ambassador says, Bullsnake Refuses To Kill Rattler; Both Shipped to Minot Zoo Bullsnakes may kill rattlers, but the attempt to prove it by the collection of reptiles at the 806 tire shop has failed to demonstrate the tradition.
