As a political situation that appeared slightly ludicrous from across the Atlantic, but Frenchmen were becoming sorely worried for fear that they had lost the ability or power to govern themselves. AFTER PREMIER Andre Maries cabinet fell. President Vincent Auri-appointed Robert Schuman as premier and gave him the usual instructions to form a cabinet. Schuman duly gathered together an administrative body and then, 64 hours later, watched it fall apart when he was defeated on a technical proposal to postpone questioning of the new cabinet by the national assembly. In short, he failed to get the necessary vote of confidence. Desperate by this time. President Auriol then named Henri Queuiile, veteran Radical Socialist, to succeed Schuman. WHAT QUEUIELE could do to produce some kind of order out of political confusion and economic travail no one knew. He is 64 years old, a little known political figure in France and was a wartime as-- j sistant of Gen. Charles DeGaulle. The situation pointed up the alarmed belief, becoming more pre dominant in France, that no Individual or group can command the working majority that will enable him to govern the nation successIn -- Western of r t x " ,v ' 'it X , ' : , $ j k t L A.v, 1 Y"- of the United TIIE GOLDEN KEY . . .

N. general assembly opened on September 21. What treasures of peace that key might unlock this year Is a question that gives pause to the entire world. CAMPAIGN: Trumpets Sounded Politicians cleared their throats as with the sound of trumpets, and the 1948 presidential election campaign swept Into motion. The first skirmish between Democrats and Republicans featured President Truman and Harold E. Stassen, who carried the word of their respective parties into the great industrial area around Detroit. TH4T INDICATED that, for the time being at least, the pivotal factor directing the policies of both GOP and Democratic campaigns would be the labor vote. To win the election this November Mr. Truman probably will need the same proportionate amount of the labor vote that turned out in favor of Roosevelt In the 1932, 1936 and 1940 campaigns. Whether he will get It is very much open to question at this stage. Truman Launching his batde for In the Detroit area over the President Labor Day week-end- . Truman fired at will. AT GRAND RAPIDS, Lansing, Detroit, Pontiac and Flint he, exhorted all the little people of the U. S. to register and vote In the November 2 election. If a heavy vote turns out, he Insisted, not only will he be but the Republican majority in congress will be replaced by a Democratic one. IF YOU STAY home next November and keep these reactionaries in power, you will deserve every blow you get and you can expect a barrage of body blows, said Mr. Truman. This was a repetition of an idea that youll get which he had what you deserve expressed earlier In the year and which, at the time, was received with some animosity by the people to whom he addressed it. You can elect a reactionary administration and go tnto an era of fear, or you can elect a congress and an administration that stand ready to play fair with every element of American bfe and enter an era of new hope. Were in a hard, tough fight against shrewd, rich opponents. They dont count on your vote; they just dont want you to vote." Judging from his Labor Day speeches, President Truman is planning to shape his campaign around these contentions: 1. THAT THE MAIN issue boils down to Republican special privileges as against Democratic concern for the little man. 2. THAT THE 80th congress, under GOP control, has done nothing to Justify its 3. THAT ANYTHING EXCEPT t vote by labor on election an day would be a betrayal by labor of its own interests. 4. THAT IF THE MASS of the nation's voters go to the polls on election day a Democratic victory is assured. all-ou- Stassen Just a step and a half behind Mr. Truman came Harold E. Stassen, striving valiantly to scatter the coals of the bonfire the President had kindled in Detroit. Apparently blessed by Thomas E. Dewey, GOP presidential candidate, Stassens speech in the motor city was billed as the official kickoff of the Republican campaign. Employment Record The U. S. rounded the turn from summer to autumn with its civilian employment at the highest level in the history of the nation. Approximately 61 5 million workers are employed, while the unemployed number only 2,227.000 as compared to more than 12 million during the gloomy depression years of the early 1930s. Personal prosperity now depends, hswever, on the Impact of inflation. STASSEN SPARED no words in taking President Truman to task, referring to him as a complainfailure who had resorted to ing demagogic appeals in seeking Specifically, he charged that Mr. Truman had dishonored labor with an extreme demagogic appeal to set class against class. In thus resorting to the political device of attacking and reproaching the opponent from a personal standpoint, Stassen had gone Mr, Truman one better. In his Detroit addresses the President did not even mention Thomas Dewey.

Latest incident piled atop many other instances of petty Soviet encroachments, needed little more than a small flame to turn Into a funeral pyre for what is left of world harmony. IT WAS A FLAGRANT Invasion of American offices In the Berlin city hall by armed Russian-controllepolice who kidnapped 19 western sector policemen who had sought sanctuary In the building. What the purpose of the raid was never became quite clear. On the surface it looked like pure terrorization carried out as part of the overall Soviet plan eventually to get control of the entire German capital. AN AMERICAN protest by Col. Frank Howley, American commandant in Berlin, was rejected bluntly by the Soviet commander, Maj. Gen. Alexander Kotikov, who flatly warned the U. S. officials not to interfere in matters which dont concern them." Kotikovs letter followed rejection of French protests that demanded the release of another 19 western sector policemen who were kidnaped by Soviet police while traveling in a French convoy under a Russian guarantee of safe conduct. In the face of these Intolerable developments! how could East-Wes- t negotiations for a Berlin agreement continue? Apparently they couldn't, except under almost Impossible strain. SECRETARY OF STATE George Marshall charged that the Berlin city hall kidnaplngs were aimed, at least in part, at disrupting the talks by the four military gover nors who were, ostensibly, seeking the road to a settlement of the Berlin problem and the issue of uniform currency. Thus, It was easy to understand why U. S. diplomatic authorities were concerned with the possibility of an early collapse of the formal negotiations.
