Last week his hat came sailing back into the ring. Tardieu began a comeback with the peculiar maneuver of resigning from the Republican Centre Party and attacking its President Paul Reynaud for having attacked fortnight ago Premier Pierre Laval and the Hoare-Laval Deal to dismember Ethiopia (TIME, Jan. 6).
