French Premier Fears ‘Monstrous Catastrophe'
(Recd. 11 a.m.) PARIS, July 13. The Premier of France, M. Ramadier, speaking 1 at Chambery, said he feared that if Europe was not capable of effecting her union and lifting up her voice, humanity would be, led into some monstrous catastrophe.
Referring to the Marshall plan, Al. Ramadier said it was essential for the success of any measures which the United States might, take that the population of America should understand the nature of the problem and the remedies that must be applied.
The President of France, M. Auriol, speaking at Arras, said that if the fever which appeared to be gripping all social classes in France did not subside they would be in great danger. It would be too late afterwards to weep over lost liberties.
Some of the claims which were being formulated were legitimate, he said. Some were urgent, but the most urgent claim was that of France. The people must have what was just, but,only what was possible. The Government must be allowed to work without nagging or pressure from within or without. The discussions must be between Parliament and the Government: The country would judge afterwards. This was the law of political, democracy,' M._ Auriol added
