TOO MUCH TRAVELLING
Protests arc being made against the ieicssity for French. Ministers, to-spend much.of. their-time in travelling. Critics, of -the present .systoiivpoint' out that a Minister charged with' many responsibilities of really graye ■' importance' to the public cannot fairly bo expected to spend, precious time in making long .journeys'in order to; open'new.:, schools: or market places. A Minister has too touch to do iii the capital,' and, like all other men, he should have a '.reasonable amount of leisure. It is .well known that' the weekends in which. other people- secure rests are.periods of..extreme t fatigue for Ministers. . Nearly : all'ibf them are called upon to travel long distances in order to spend their Sundays in attending banquets and delivering speeches. The President of the Bepublie is to a great extent protected from such trying experiences by the rules laid down for his. movements. It is held that it would be an excellent tiling if some such regulations were devised for the protection of Ministers against boredom, and waste of times.
