TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1946 THE DAILY TIMES-CAZETTE PAGE THREB il KEPT FAITH, il BLUM TRUE ol FRENCH HERO ud By EDGAR SIMON Canadian Press Staff Writer in the future of man occupation. Blum, twice premier of France and one of the leaders of the So- party, analyzed the causes of his country's downfall, placing 8 3%at¢ of the blame on his own . , but saw no reason to despair "1 France's future or the future of democratic ideals, As he explains in a preface writ- =en for a later edition, Blum wrote "he book primarily to counteract énti-democratic propaganda which swept France after the surrender of 1040 and was being exploited by the Vichy regime. Appearing now for the first time in translation, his arguments have lost little of their significance, He blames the ineffectiveness of the parliamentary system in France between the wars largely on the in- ability of factions within the right wing parties to unite "for any pur- pose other than systematic opposi- tion." But while he blames the rightest members for lack of party discipline, he finds members of his own Socialist party guilty of exces- sive discipline, in failing to change long-established policies in the face of the threatening war for fear of disrupting the party's unanimity, Thus, France's lack of military preparation was due partly to the reluctance of right-wing politicians to spend money in bringing up to date an army which military lead- ers assured them was the best in the world. Leftist leaders, on the other hand, were equally reluctant to abandon their deep-rooted paci- 11st beliefs until it was too late. The Socialists, Blum admits, had themselves with she Communists in the Popular ¥roat government, of which he was the head, which continued until the Russo-German alliance of 1939, The only answer Blum finds to the problem of relationships be- tween the two left-wing parties is a lasting peace treaty which would make Russian and French interests identical and end the presence of "a foreign sect within the nation." But Blum's main point is that the causes of France's collapse are eradicable within the democratic framework. He foresees the collapse of the bourgeois right-wing parties and a "concordat" with Russia end- ing the presence of Russian-spons- ored groups in other countries In exchange for full membership in an international organization, He concludes: "Let man only keep his gaze fixed on his goal, let him keep his faith in his destiny, let Nim not shrink from using the strength that is his, and in times of anxiety and discouragement let his thought be for all mankind." . .
