With open pocketbook, with amateur's enthusiasm, Vincent Astor backed his neighbor for New York Governor, for U.S. President, took F.D.R. cruising on his $2,500,000 yacht Nourmahal after the election (TIME Cover.

It meant the end of the concept of a French republic "one and indivisible" and of the tradition of cultural "assimilation." But for all France's concessions, and for all the money it belatedly spent on schools (there are still only 250 in Guinea), on building the port of Conakry, on roads and on the battles against such scourges as malaria, sleeping sickness and leprosy, Toure made no secret of the fact that he regarded the Loi-cadre as only "a first step...
