Washington Views Calmly
Fall Of Briand Ministry
Indeed. Feeling of Administration i-. That ('-tearing I p of
International Situation Hastened Katlier Than lie
tarded l>v liesidt French Flections
Ry DAVID UWKKNCE
(Copyright. 1924, By Th? A<t?ancr)
Washington, May 1-4.?For more than a year. Washington
las waited patiently for just what has happened in France in the
ast twenty-four hours?a change from the uncompromising na
.ionalism of Raymond Poincare to the flexibility of a new admin
istration unembarrassed by the commitments of its predeces
sors.
The evacuation of the Ruhr,
long advocated by the United
States government, and now the
big stumbling block to the effec
tive operation of the Dawes
Young reparation settlement
may be agreed to by the new ad
ministration in France as a
means of getting funds immed
iately.
Tlie radicals came Into power In
llie French elections on promises to
obtain the money needed to recon
struct the remainder of the devasta
ted regions. An international loan
together with the application of the
bawes-Youug plan would give
France a new financial start, not
only raising the value of the franc
but reducing the necessity of fur
ther borrowings inside the country
ami increases in the debt.
It was inevitable a year ago that
the Poincare administration would
he wrecked on financial issues unless
compromises were made. The gra
dual drop in the franc helped ma
terially to soften the 1'oincare at
titude but the rise of a labor min
istry in Great Britain together with
the insistunce of all the allied ex
perts that the Ituhr should be eva
cuated to make Germany a single
economic unit has brought about an
iuiportaut change in the whole situa
tion and it is fell here that a new
premier In France will be able to
deal with the other allies in a much
r more accomodating way than would
^Kaymoud Poincare had he been con
tinued iu power.
Isolation has in a sense been de
feated in France, and if, as reported,
Artistide liriand, six times premier
of France, takes hold once more, an
international conference of the allies
may be looked for. It was he who
was overthrown just at the moment
when an interallied agreement
seemed possible. The policy he
advocated then has been vindicated.
He saw the need of making concess
ions to the other allies in order to
get an agreement on reparations,
lie was not as intransigeant as hid
successor, M. Poincare. In fact the
deadlock of the last year has been
attributed solely to the national
istic conceptions and stubbornness of
Poincare. The policy of Fdouard
Herrlot, the radical leader, if
chosen premier, would no doubt fol
low the liriand policy.
While no doubt internal political
issues influenced the French
result, there is no doubt that exter
nally the situation is looked upon
as having been greatly Improved by
the change of ministry. The radi
cals in France are probably as eager
as the lahorltes In Great Droitain
for a better understanding with Hup
*1n as well as Germany. This does
not mean that the French radicals
are as friendly to the Germans as
those in Knglatid; for the bitterness
of feeling engendered by the war
has not been erased. The questions
at Issue are not sentimental but
economic and there are evidences
that the French radicals will ap
prove a program such as the Dawes
Young commission outlined tv n
though it does involve economic and
military evacuation of the Khur, On
the whole the feoljng here l<* that
the clearing up of the international
situation has advanced rather
than retarded by the French elec
tions.

session hero today, called upon the
churches of the South to "gather
hip in the remaining months of the
campaign all the energies in our
?power and go forth to a great vie

"It Is a good time to consider the
' minion of the Southern Conven
I t??>?!. In the Swnty-Klvp Million
Campaign we have ?:*:??1 '? ?? a?r?t
?gains. Among them are the follow
jlng: First, a new sense of unity.:
?Second, a new sense of power.
I Someone says the most depressing

plaint swims into IiIh krti." We,
have com" r.lsO to a new epoch in!
the organized expression of our life,
'and ?his has brought new hope and1
.complex problem a to be patiently
I solved.
| '"lli" mission ft tli'? Southern
flaptM Convention can be defined,
in the light of the spiritual need
which gav.e It birth and which It was
desient d to meet. in 1MI In Phil
adelphia. under tin stimulus of the
thrilling appeal of Luther Klee for
missions, twenty-six ministers and
seven laymen from eleven states and
the District of Columbus formed the
old Triennial Convention. In 1MB
in Augusta. (Ja.. 31 m?*?senge?s from
Maryland. Virginia, North and South
Carolina. Georgia. Alabama. Isouls
lana. Kentucky, and the District of
Columbia organised the Southern
Baptist Convention. Thus the Con
vention was the lineal successor of
the first general national Ra|itlst
Convention in the Cult- <1 Stairs. It
was founded %on the missionary
motive. It established two boards,
one for foreign and the other for
domestic missions. It sent out an
appeal to the liretlir?* 11 In the lTnlted
States, to the congregations connec
ted with the respective churches,
and to all candid men. As thus or
ganized and as tints spiritually Ini
p< lied, this ('oiivi ntlon has had <i
great history. Its mission today, as
it confronts it? pre?? nt and future
tasks, may he expressed lit five pro
posit ions.
"First, the mission of the South
em HapiM Convention, is to he Hit
organized embodiment of the major
motive of the go j '? I for the largest
single group of Ha pi lata ??n ?arlh.
That motive Is expressed in the
Great Commission of our Master: to
preach th?? gospel t'i every ere.iture
and teach the principles of the king
dom which th" gospel brings to pays
on earth. That motiv ? i-? r* dated
in the preamble of th- constitution
of this body tis "the purpose of car
rying into effect th" benevolent in
tention of our constituent 4 by or
ganizing a plan for eliciting, com
bining and directing tl?o energies of
th*? denomination for the propaga
tion of the gospel." The design i*
further stated to be "to promote
foreign and domestic mi:< i'*n.; and
other import.tint obj <ts nuin'cted
with the H^de'-ntcr's Kingdom."
Thus it appears that the Conv* ntlon
Is three-fold in function; First, to
elicit, or draw f??rth or develop the1
energies of the denomination, se
cond, to combine these energies In a
unified plan to accomplish a given
.object. Third, to direct th'se en
icrgies towards their proper ends by
the joint wisdom of .1 vast con
stituency. So ;i 1 o i* this Convention
1 three fold In its its scope. It Is
j Sott?h-wide in its constituency. It
is Kingdom-wide in Its agencies and <
1 methods and it Is world-wide in Its
i vision.
"Second, the mission of this boefcr
I is to be the demonstration of tho
succets of religious democracy on
I the largest scale known In Christian
