The tour has been strenuous and at Strasbourg, has caused and this undoubtedly has been much perturbation. That is, per haps, natural in view of the large. ly artificial nature of the present ni-partite French Government and the continuance of political and economic tension throughout the country. But it is only fair) to point out that though Gen. de Gaulle left office 15 months lizzo, he has never really left politics nor left politicians or the slightest 'doubt peuple in about his views. Last MULTAJN, for example, he made a series of speeches against the new Con- stitution approved by the three major parties, and to the general surprise his views were endorsed by some eight million voters and probably influenced many of the seven million others who did not vote at all. To command a vote of this size, even though it was a minority, is not the mark of a retired or of a retiring statesman.

France, and therefore this earlier note chimes with the later that France cannot be strong under the existing Constitution. This, Gen. de Gaulle feels, gives too much power to the Assembly and too little to the President of the Republic. In other words, he thinks that the executive power should be divorced from and in- dependent of the legislative pow-
