...nation of Centrists, a moderate land of thrifty folk, this shift was sufficiently dramati¶ Everyone agreed that it blasted and destroyed the power of the Right Centre coalition in the Chamber of Deputies whose leader is Premier André Tardieu, called "L'Americain" because of his go-gettishness. Looking for the next Premier of France, the nation shifted its attention from Paris-on-the-Seine 250 miles due south to Lyon-on-the-Rhone. Lyon presented a terrific sight...
Gentile André Tardieu, Premier of France, has been running the country supported by a Right-Centre coalition (TIME, March 7). As the campaign drew to a close last week both Jew Blum and Gentile Tardieu became speechless from talking too much, had to let their final speeches be read by leather-lunged henchmen. Premier Tardieu's laryngitis grew so bad that he dared not even venture out to ballot.

Premier Tardieu's sudden dash turned out to be the result of a misunderstanding which led the Frenchman to think that Britain and the U. S. were going to maneuver the Conference into excluding from discussion the Tardieu Plan (TIME. Feb. 15) of creating a world police force to be managed by the League of Nations. Upon actually reaching Geneva, M. Tardieu found Messrs. Stimson...
...positive denial of Statesman Stimson that he had permitted anyone to engage him in conversation about Reparations & War Debts (only Dr. Bruning, reputedly, tried to bring them up). ¶The sudden violence against Statesman Stimson of virtually the whole French Press, a violence which at once subsided after Premier Tardieu got over his scare. In the Paris Avenir, for example, French Senator Billiet had accused Statesman Stimson of "trying to cash in on the situation" by using what is owed the U. S. as a bargaining weapon to induce Europe to disarm. "By these gentlemen" [from Washington], stormed Senator Billiet...
