Much as freedom-loving Frenchmen hate and fear a Dictator, their Chamber and Senate recently vested swarthy Premier Pierre Laval with dictatorial fiscal powers (TIME, June 17). So long as Parliament remained in session, canny M. Laval lay low, was criticized for not using his powers. With Deputies and Senators now on vacation, the Premier last week asked his coalition Cabinet to meet him in the historic Clock Room of the French Foreign Office one day at 9:30 a. m. Figuratively M.

But AAA is seeking from Congress additional powers: 1) to license the handlers of sugar beets, fruit, vegetables, milk, milk products, wool and 2) to pry into the records of all handlers and manufacturers of all AAA products (TIME, May 13). Contrariwise, handlers who hate the AAA have launched a determined counter-drive to make Congress reduce instead of extend AAA's sway. Peak of this agitation came last month when a delegation of New England Governors went to Washington wailing that unless the cotton processing tax was withdrawn, their states' textile industry would...
