HERfiiOT BOWS BEFORE STORM
FAILING TO WIN VOTE OF CONFIDENCE, PREMIER QUITS
—CLERICALS SEEK CONTROL.
A sample of what Roman Catholic Politics will do for Ameri
ca just as soon as they have power to do so. This has been'their
history throughout all ages.
Strenuous Regime
Premier Herriot was formerly Mayor of Lyons and was elected
to the Premiership last May. Due to the French Government,
brought about by the World War, his tenure of office has been
most strenuous. The Premier was only able to hold on as long
as he did by reason of his unfaltering courage and gain determina
tion to enforce a policy that would place the country' - finances on
a sound basis. ,
There have been either influences working against Per
mier Herriot and his policies, most formidable of which was the
Roman Catholic hierarchy. It will be recalled that Herriot came
to an open rupture with the Catholic clergy last fall by advocating
suppression of the French Embassy to the Vatican and establish
ment of public schools in the restored provinces of Alsace and
Lorraine.
The French Roman Catholic Cardinals defied the Premier to
enforce these policies by open threats of plunging France into a
religious war, and with bitter hatred and antagonism, continued
their fierce assaults against him by declaring strikes among the
students in the schools of Alsace-Loraine, stging demonstrations
which were the scenes of rioting and disorder, by employing mob
tactics in the proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies, and by
inciting the Communistic element against Premier Herriot and
his policies.
Constant Turmoil
Entrance of the Roman Catholic hierarchy into the controver
sy kept the Senate in turmoil until the members reached the
stage where it is doubtful if any financial policy would have been
accepted. Then when it was whispered that Premier Herriot
would advocate levying a special tax of ten per cent on the acquir
ed wealth of France in order to recoup the depleted funds of the
treasury, it met with such strenuous opposition as to forcast the
tall of Premier Herriot, which came when he handed his resigna
tion to President Doumergue on April 10.
Despite the fact that Premier Herriot was forced to resign
by the action of the iSenate, he has the consolation of knowing
that the cabinet remained faithful to the last, also that he has
won confidence by his strict adherence to the policy he thought
best for the welfare of the French people, regardless of
the threats and assaults of the Roman Catholic hierarchy. An
other indication that Premier Herriot was following the best
policy possible was that lie had the support of the Masonic Grand
Lodge of France, which just previous to his resignation adopted
resolutions pledging cooperation. He also succeeded in materially
reducing the national debt, which the preceding Government was
unable to accomplish.
What Next?
It remains to be seen what effect the change in Government
will have on the attitude of France toward the policy of sepera
tion of Church and State, for which Herriot firmly stood. , Of
course, the Romanists are jubilant over Herriot’s retirement and
will try to have the new Government revoke the steps he had
taken for abolishing the French Embassy at the Vatican and re
lease of schools from the domination of the Roman clergy, and un
less the new Premier proves submissive to the Romanists, it will
be but a few weeks until he will be engaged in as bitter a strife
with the clericals as ever Herriot was. Only by a policy of abject
submission can any French Government get along with the Roman
ists. The eyes of the civilized world are on France.
