President Albert Lebrun of France was up most of the night, before the riot because the Cabinet of that stylish Paris Lawyer Maître Paul-Boncour was falling -on the issue of this year's budget which French Deputies have threshed with increasing futility for two weeks (TIME, Jan. 30). Final debate dragged through 22 hours. When famed Papa Henri Chéron, stubborn old Norman Finance Minister, demanded an "absolute [balanced] budget" at the cost of drastic tax uppings and salary slashes, he was met by arguments for what was called a "relative budget...
...trial lawyer in France is richer or more feared than that spry little Senator with a great mop of grey hair, Maître Joseph Paul-Boncour. In Geneva they used to know him as the perennial No. 2 French Delegate to the League, Aristide Briand being No. 1. Often, while No. 1 slumbered or seemed to slumber in his aisle seat, blocking the egress of other French Delegates, nimble No. 2 would leave and return to his seat by leaping lightly over a desk, thus permitting No. 1 to slumber...
Briand is dead. In Geneva last week Maître Paul-Boncour, now Minister of War, was the French No. 1. With great finesse he divulged to the Disarmament Conference Bureau somewhat more-but not too much-of the new French Disarmament plan (TIME, Nov. 7). Still tentative, the plan will be shaped into its final form partly on the basis of European reactions to the Paul-Boncour speech, partly in an effort to please the next U. S. President. Last week the great French lawyer orated extempore for more than an hour, several times referred unmistakably to Germany without...
...kind could get nowhere in the modern world. It is necessary at the same time that it be known in advance that any result territorially or otherwise obtained by violation of the Briand-Kellogg pact will not be recognized by the body of civilized nations." Accordingly, continued Maňtre Paul-Boncour, the "first circle" would be a World Treaty by which all nations would pledge themselves to act (instead of merely talking) in the spirit of the Briand-Kellogg Pact. The "second circle" would be a treaty, definite and precise, pledging action under the League Covenant and the Locarno...
When Composer Italo Montemezzi wrote L'Amore dei Tre Re, Poet Sem Benelli provided him with a libretto which cried for music of exquisite passion and tenderness. The fact that parts of it recall the music of Tristan & Isolde never seemed important. Montemezzi's score has surge and spontaneity of its own, enough to arouse high hopes for his one-act La Notte di Zoraima (The Night of Zoraima), given its U. S. premiere last week at Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera House...
