His prediction of chaos or communism in Europe, a wishful apres mois le Baukhage hit a deluge, setback for the second time when the sturdy, middle - of -- the - road Frenchman got behind the Republican Catholic party, and defeated the Communists, just as an earlier vote killed the constitution which the Reds wanted. Because Hitler knew his greatest hope for a Nazi rebirth was a Communistic Germany, his spirit probably rejoiced when the iron curtain went down on Germany's eastern frontiers, and one of Russia's border countries after another were leftist-frobulldozed into rule. With France turned Communist, Germany would be an island in a red sea, and would soon have to take on protective coloring, it was assumed. The next step, according to Hitlers hope, was the reaction to Nazilsm. Now, for the first time since V-Day, France seems to have shaken off her carmine shackles. Before the recent election, some quarters were predicting that if the French middle class and peasants could not g domination get rid of the with ballots, they would try it with bullets.

The bitter which has driven General de Gaulle into retirement, and constantly threatens the precarious equilibrium maintained by the left i'll coalition, is rooted in implacable hate between the moderates, centrists and rightists on the one hand and the Communists on the other. . . . This situation complicated the Allies problems in regard to Germany. However, with France now staggering to her feet, thera is a chance for more harmony among the western Allies, and it is possible that Germany, with proper controls and minus a huge slice of the rich mineral land of the Saar in French hands, may have her three zones sufficiently united to begin to support herself; to start to pay some of her bills with the consumer goods that her neighbor nations want from her, and cant get anywhere' else. The results of the French elections are particularly gratifying from the standpoint of the western Allies because they appear to have established a degree of harmony the more conservative among French elements without revealing a reactionary trend. The triumphant Popular Republican movement (MRP) had a platform which, according to French authorities, went beyond the political field to take a moral stand. The platform stressed the need for reenforcing unity among the newcomers (the right wing elements of the Socialist party made up of members of the old resistance), and all those opposing the efforts (by the Communists) to incite class hatred. At the same time, the MRP disavowed all connection with the Radical Socialists, who, despite their name, are considered too conservative by many members of the resistance who formerly had joined in a common front with the Communists. The election results may mean a change in Russian policy, for in spite of themselves, the western Allies have been forced to take unified action if an action at all was to be taken.

Every road in Delaware leads to more markers, more reminders of three centuries of culture and tradition.

The state was named when Captain Samuel Argali of the English colony in Virginia came to the entrance of the bay and named it Cape La Warre, for Lord de la Warre, Sir Thomas West, then governor of Virginia.

Delawares Statehouse Of historical interest is the old State House of Delaware at Dover, built on the ite of the Kent county courthouse erected in 1722. By 1787 the facilities of the old courthouse were no longer adequate for the needs of both county government and the state legislature. It was decided to pull down the old courthouse and use the hard bricks for the foundation of the new building" as there was not enough money for a stone foundation. Funds were raised by a state lottery and construction of the new building started in 1792. Three years later the general assembly authorized the completion of the battle- ments, covered the roof with cop- per, erected stone steps, paved in front of the building and placed seats in both houses of the legislature. y icinan ki Larry Singer, visiting the bunch, from New Castle. ther suit told of the hoax put over (in the 1930s) by the editors of the Cornell University Sun. . . .

In 1694 about 200 acres was bought for the town and a courthouse and prison were built some time before 1697. Nothing was done about laying out Dover, however, until 1717.
