MORAL VICTORY

a

It is impossible to say that the popular verdict on the draft Con- stitution in France was better than fundamentally hesitant. With a few exceptions, none of the pro- phets expected so small a majority in its favour as 1,000,000 on a total vote of 17,000,000, and thei really striking figure is that just under a third of the electorate did not vote at all. When it is remembered that the draft was prepared and endorsed by the three main political parties and adopted in the Assembly by a 4 to majority, the statement of M. Gay. Minister Without Port- folio, that he was "bitterly dis- appointed can be readily under stood. Attempts which have been made from time to time to belittle the influence and prestige of Gen. de Gaulle are thus shown to be due to wishful thinking. There can be up, denying that it was his opposition to the Constitution which was mainly responsible for the large negative vote, and pro- bably for most of the abstentions.

Arab Armies Not

Jerusalem, Oct. 24. Arab leaders in Jerusalem yesterday scoffed at published reports that the Arab armies may go "underground" as a result of a British raid on the Haifa Arab Boycott Offices last Mon- day. The Arabs point out that the raid was "obviously made because of the recent bomb outrage in Haifa, in which the store of an Arab merchant dealing in Jewish goods was dam- aged."

desire for a strong Executive and Second Chamber is intelligible, and some concessions have been made to it. But it is better to start the Fourth Republic some- how than to postpone its start indefinitely. The thing to do is to see how it works in practice, and whether the General's fears of instability are well founded or not. Meanwhile, the logical consequence of the vote is that he ought to re-enter politics.
