BACK TO BARBARISM
M. HERRIOT ON WORLD TRENDS CIVILISATION THREATENED BY ANARCHY. REVERSION TO CRUELTIES OF THE PAST. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. PARIS, January 13. M. Herriot, a former Socialist Premier, in a remarkable inaugural speech today after his election to the Presidency of the Chamber, warned France that civilisation was threatened bj' growing anarchy all over the world. “Our age,” he said, “has shown a return to the cruellest periods of the past. Political and religious liberty is besieged. Persecution is rife.” He thanked the Pope and President Roosevelt for making a stand against violence.
He said that there was no Frenchman who did not desire peace, but a free people could not allow their frontiers to be the subject of bargaining. France hoped for better relations with Germany after the recognition of her frontiers.
