From France: Young (35) Maurice Schumann is president of M.R.P. (Mouvement Républicain Populaire), the progressive party which attempts to translate into contemporary policy the principles of social justice enumerated by Pope Leo XIII. Before the war Schumann was a Paris journalist. From the time France fell until he landed in Normandy on Dday, Schumann was the nightly radio "spokesman of Free France." That gained him a reputation among French patriots second only to that of his chief, General Charles de Gaulle. Schumann's political popularity has grown while the General's has shrunk. One reason: Maurice...

Before the war it could gain no more than two seats in the Storting. Last month, in the liberation election (TIME, Oct. 22), it won seven. Resurgence of the Lutheran faith in war-weary Norwegians and the application of religious principles to politics accounted for the difference...
