OFFICIAL STORY,

So the pages of history are written and recorded there. What of the future? Sober citizens and patriots pay heed to the control or Mars and keep a silent tongue. This is but displaying elemental wisdom in view of the activities of the secret service, and prevalence of martial law. But!

With the collapse of their plans, and the announcement of "pardon to all pher ranks except the leaders, there was no reason indeed why they should not seek sanctuary. France taught the first Siamese military officers the elements of flying twenty years ago, and it was by the air that Prince Bova- radej, la a Breguet plane. few over the frontier into Cambodia. The other leaders associated with the Prince had not the same swift, and ready means of escape. but despite a carefully "guarded frontier, they have apparently been able to rejoin their chief on foreign soll. The Prince was ac- companied by his wife, who has shared all her hasband's troubles and anxieties. The Siamese on arrival in French territory are treated as political refugees and retain their liberty.
The story of their fight has not yet been released here, but the Saigon press relates their ad ventures, and, incidentally in the dourse bf an interview with Prince Bavaradej, on arrival' in Saigon, throws a light on the cause that led to the civil war, Translated it is as follows:-
THE CAUSE "OF THE REVOLT
"Your Highness would it be too much to ask you to give us some information about the at- tempt you made?"
With much grace, giving evf- dence of a perfect Western edu- cation, The Prince replied in er. cellent French:
"I am pleased to find myself here ire French colony. Since my arrival in Cambodia your compatriots have been most kind, anticipating #11 our wishes. I thank you on behalf of my com panions in misfortime and on my own behalf."

The Constitution of which so much has been written, and which" to the bulk of the population still means precious little, is already deemed to be in need of protection. before it has reached its first birth- day,
Perhaps this is not extra- ordinary view of the circum- stances of its painful birth. · Thể majority of the people of this country are conservative in their Lives, their beliefs and religion, but there are apparently among the 80-aheads some who criticise the boon which the Constitution is
supposed to have conferred on a nation which certainly did not cry out for it, and is indifferent for the main part to its provisions. But doubters and critics are to be ade- quately dealt with from now on. This week's Gazette sets forth that anyone offending against the Con- stitution or doing anything to les sen the people's appreciation of the Constitution, or causing alarm in regard to the Constitution is liable to imprisonment for a period of from three to twenty years or to fine of from Tes. 500 to Tcs. 6,000 or both. Luang Pradit was Chairman of the Committee "to investigate the means to make the Constitution permanent. It was said in Paris that when he first, zeturned to the homeland he car ried six draft Constitutions with him. Which one. if any. Slam has adopted is not known. But the penalties for criticising the one which has been foisted upon the twelve million people of this country are now known to all
