Whether Barre wins his gamble-that French voters will prefer his go-slow, common-sense policies to electorally inspired giveaways-will largely depend on external events. Will West Germany, France's largest trading partner, prime its economy sufficiently to create new jobs in France? Will Japanese exporters exercise enough restraint to prevent a trade war?

Cheap-shot comparisons are an old and dubious journalistic device: as if two people who share...
