The new Premier would be the last man France to claim the laurels of a prophet, although he deserves them. When his associates were blinded by the false vision of ‘peace in our time” he warned against the consequences of Munich, He offered to resign from the Cabinet because of his disagree- ment with the Government’s policy. His anti- Munich attitude, called war-mongering at the time, | was based solely on a logical deduction—since proved correct—of its effects. He is anti-Nazi, but not anti-German. He is a man of principle, for he opposed the late President Poincare's occupation of the Ruhr as a dangerous step. While Reynaud retains the portfolio of Foreign Affairs along with that of President of the Council (Premier) he will keep an eye on the ‘Finance Min- istry, so vital in such a time of national crisis. In 1936 he told France it had to devalue the franc. He was scoffed at. On November 1, 1938, he was trans- ferred to the finance post to bring the currency in line with those of Britain and America. He brought back the wealth which had fled when sit-down trikes wrecked French industry. The Nazis may gloat to their hearts’ content on disunity in France. It is rather unity that is displayed by this shift. There is no political ani- involved. It is notable that Daladier is re- tained War Minister, a post for which he is eminently qualified.

President Roose- velt's last speech to Congress on January 3 went far beyond Cromwell’s remarks in its denunciatory languag Undersecretary Welles talked even more to the point when he addressed the German charge recall of the German and Ameri- can Ambassadors in 1938. And as for Cromwell's enunciation of American opinion, Representative Dingell of Michigan stated it correctly when he said his expressions are in harmony with 95 percent of our people Congressmen who fear our involvement in war | because of the Toronto speech are making a moun- | tain out of a molehill. Our almost constant verbal tiff with Germany before the war did not bring Nazi retribution. Cromwell’s talk will not do so, especially since two well-armed enemies stand be- tween the United States and the Third Reich. The appeal to neutrality is hyperbole, There is no neutrality. Its congressional devotees, if they | are really concerned, should do something about the | failure of this country to assert its neutral rights by forbidding its ships to sail to belligerent countries. In scores of ways this nation violates traditional | neutrality every day the war lasts, but Cromwell's critics are never heard from. If Cromwell resigns and runs for New Jersey Senator, as reported, he should win wide public support, Americans will be willing to overlook his technical violation of diplomatic rules for what they recognize as forthright exposition of their opinion. idea d'affaires on the a Over in Illinois, the Garner-for-President-Com- mittee has announced a prize contest for the best letter on “Are You In Favor of a Third Term?” with |a free trip to Washington as the prize.
