PARIS—Unfortunately people of small means, such as school teachers, and other professional men, never see Paris at its best. July and August are vacation months for French people. Business slows down, the best places of amusement are closed and the people in general are psychologically passe. almost no interest in politics and very little in economics. The Ds French are waiting. In the meantime. however, food | is plentiful. The onely thing lack- | ing is money. The French are be- ginning to talk about over pro- ' duction. The people do not have} the. money to buy and little demand for French goods | elsewhere. This is beginning to} be the common Europe at the present time.

It can people up to the present time have ever had the courage to do it. Nations, like individuals, grow old and like it. Phey gaze at the signs of the past glory and give a sigh — and then take another drink. All this does not mean that France, Italy and Spain, or other nations whose glory is in the past, will disintegrate in the near future. A nation’s evening tide is usually long. There is a glow long after midnight. — Fortunately our nation is young; likely in the late twenties. But this by no means asures us safety. Nations too die by acci- dent.
