The same precious privilege was granted Austria {and other annexations of Der Fuehrer. 1011 It takes little imagination to anticipate the vote, - !which will be for approval or rejection of the new French Fascist Constitution. Our forecast is that |the vote will be 99.44 percent “Ja.” The Chamber of Deputies, long the most turbu- |lent parliament in the world, has found its nearest approach to unanimity in the vote to abolish itself. The conditions which bred the vote will, unless re- u~nt history means nothing, also impel those French | citizens wo do vote for the Fascist Constitution, Few | enough, alas, are likely to vote at all. Of course there may be some few who will say “Nein.” Some brave souls like the four courageous Deputies, Alfred Margaine, Jean Biondi, Pierre de Chambrun and Leon Roche, who dared to vote | against establishment of the French dictatorship. But | the majority will take the cue. It is more than coincidence that one after an- other conquered nation has. “welcomed” Hitler and his Nazis with vast choruses of “Heils” and almost unanimous votes of “Ja.” Plebiscite? The very notion is a joke under Hitler. A plebiscite is either a decision of free men it is nothing. In France, we fear, it will be National le'tnlncr Representa- Los Angeles, Portland, | " GEORGE D.

They are Bill Field and Ted Cross, 1940 Yale graduates. “We've nexer banded a single “and we don't even know which leg the aluminum tag goes on. We'll probably just hobble them together.” They are not licensed for their avocation, but hope to borrow the permits of Ted's sister and brother- in-law who are now on the island studying, in & medical sort of way, the natural psychology of the Es- kimo. They hope to be suppllc‘bd with bird-banding equipment, too, and laid in large supplies of food for their trip.
