ENVOY OF FRANCE
REACHES CAPITAL
Bonnet Calied Most Impor
tant Representative of Na
tion Here Since War.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
Georges Bonnet, the new French
Ambassador, arrived in Washington
last night and will present his creden
tials to President Roosevelt as soon
as the protocol permits.
Although the new French Ambas
sador is only 46 years old, he has
already been 11 times a member of
various French cabinets and has held
three times the important position of
finance minister.
He has been described as special
Ambassador. The truth is that he is
a regular Ambassador with no specific
mission in the United States. His
tenure of office is only six months,
because under the French law a mem
ber of Parliament—Bonnet is a dep
uty—cannot hold an appointed office
for a longer period. Whether he will
demand and obtain an extension de
pends entirely on how much he can
do here to improve further the Franco
American relations.
The new Ambassador is undoubt
edly the most important represent
ative the French government has
sent here since the war. He will en
deavor to keep the President and the
State Department posted on what is
actually going on in Europe, to dis
cuss a new Franco-American commer
cial treaty and find out whether the
Government of the United States is
willing to reopen in the near future
conversations regarding the Mellon
Beranger debt settlement.
Beranger. who came to the United
States in 1926 as special Ambassador,
had a specific mission—to discuss and
sign a debt agreement. This debt
agreement was refuted by the French
Chamber In December, 1933. when
Premier Herriot resigned because he
insisted that token payments must be
continued until a new debt arrange
ment is made.
The French government and Par
liament have changed their minds
since 1933. In a note sent to Wash
ington In December. 1936. Premier
Blum opened the door to a discussion
of the debt problem. The French
government contends the Mellon
Beranger agreement cannot be kept
because of radically changed economic
and financial conditions, not only in
France but in other parts of the
world. But that does not mean, say
the French leaders, that another
agreement should not be concluded;
an agreement in which the new eco
nomic and financial situation of the
world should be taken into consider
ation. Blum made the first approach
in December and considers that the
next step should be taken by the
creditor Nation.
Bonnet, an outstanding financial au
thority in Europe, will be at hand in
Washington to provide the administra
tion with all the necessary data look
ing to eventual settlement of the
problem.
The new Ambassador has a great
advantage over his predecessors. He
is thoroughly acquainted with the
situation in Europ and will be able
to give the President and the State
Department first hand information
on the real state of affairs on that
continent. Furthermore, he is not a
career man or an official. He is an
outstanding political man in his own
country and as such he can disregard
all the diplomatic red tape in the
event of important discussions. He
has full authority to deal with most
problems on his own initiative and
should a hitch occur anywhere, he is
in a position to call up the premier
and talk to him as man to man in
stead of an official talking to his chief.
He is very much in the same posi
tion as William Bullitt, our Ambas
sador to France, who does not hesitate
to telephone President Roosevelt from
Paris whenever the situation justifies
It. And the telephone bills of Ambas

COOKED TO A TURN, a steaming slice of roast
beef deserves one final touch—a glass of Guinness.
Guinness brings out something extra in the beef,
in a way which multiplies your enjoyment.
Brewed in Dublin by a wholly natural process,
Guinness is made from barley malt, hops, yeast
and water—nothing else. It is matured for about
a year—in oak vats and in Bottle. *
\Iith its dry hearty flavour and rich creamy
head Guinness does a good turn for almost any
meal. Since 1759 Guinness has become the most
popular brew in the world—partly because mil
lions of people use it at mealtime to “do a good
turn each day.”
GUINNESS is also enjoyed before, meals, after exer
cise or when one is tired, and before retiring. Get
it wherever you buy good beer or ale.

sador Bullitt were pretty heavy in the
month of January.
The stable relationship of the dollar,
the pound and the franc is one of the
definite undertakings Monsieur Bon
net has in mind. As a former finance
minister and chief French delegate at
the lamented London Economic Con
ference of 1933, he is thoroughly
familiar with the problem and expects
to have fruitful conversations on the
subject with Secretary Mongenthau.
Both men consider some form of
stabilization might be reached at the
present moment, whereas this was not
possible in July. 1933. when France
and other European countries were
still on the gold standard and hoped
to remain so. % j
Bonnet has an engaging personality: ;
his chief drawback in Washington will .
be that his knowledge of the English
language is limited to a few sentences
It is expected, however, that his
strong personality combined with his
extreme ability will overcome this dis
advantage.

Give Colds No Chance to Wear You Down
and Put You on Your Back!
Don’t dally with a cold! It may
end seriously—in the form of flu or
pneumonia.
When a cold strikes, strike back
with redoubled force. Depend on
no mere makeshift remedies.
A cold calls for a cold treatment,
not a preparation good for all
kinds of ailments.
A cold also calls for internal
treatment, for a cold is an internal
infection.
Make Grove’s Laxative Bromo
Quinine your treatment and you
have hit a cold a body blow.
Bromo Quinine is effective be
cause it is a cold tablet made ex
pressly for the treatment of colds
and nothing else. It routs colds
quickly because it is internal treat
ment, fourfold in effect.
First, it opens the bowels, an ad
visable step in treating a cold.
Second, it checks the infection in
the system, a vital measure.
Third, it relieves the headache
and fever.
Fourth, it tones the system and
helps fortify against further at*
tack.
Bromo Quinine tablets now come
sugar-coated as well as plain. The
sugar-coated are exactly the same
as the regular, except that the
tablets are coated with sugar for
palatability.
Play safe when you’ve caught a
cold. Go right to your druggist
for a package of Grove’s Laxative
Bromo Quinine.
Start taking the tablets immedi
ately, two at a time. In 24 hours
your cold will usually be broken up.
Bromo Quinine tablets contain
nothing harmful and are safe to
take. You can get them at any
drug store.
Be sure you get what you ask
for—Grove’s Laxative Bromo Qui*
nine! The few pennies’ cost may
save you a lot of worry and money.

The Blender film star teat year
waged a bitter court battle with her
divorced husband. Dr. Franklyn Thorpe
over custody of their flve-yesr-old
daughter, Marylyn. During the trial,
attorneys for Dr. Thorpe said they
were prepared to Introduce a sensa
tionally frank diary of Miss Aator.
They said it confided of her associa
tion with prominent men. Including
Oeorge Kaufman, the playwright.
The diary’s contents were not in
troduced in evidence when the case
ended in compromise and the court
impounded it. Kaufman, asked for
comment, said in the East that "I
don't keep a diary."
First Husband Killed.
Her first husband, a movie director,
was killed in an airplane accident.
Dr. Thorpe expressed surprise over
the elopement. In Los Angeles, he
said he had talked last night by tele
phone with Miss Aator. who mentioned
Del Campos filght but said nothing
of accompanying him.
She had been Del Campo’g com
panion at night clubs and on the golf
course.

the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.

Husband Killed In l»St.
Mise Aator's first husband, Kenneth
Hawks, cinema director, was killed in
an airplane collision over the Pacific
Ocean In 1930. A year later she
married Dr. Thorpe. The nuptials
took place at Yuma and were kept
secret for some time during litigation
over Hawks' estate.
The Thorpes were divorced in 1935.
After Miss Astor, In a swift court
move, accused Dr. Thorpe of having
married her without divorcing a pre
vious wife, the physician replied by
aasertedly quoting from the diary to
prove his charge of “gross immoral
conduct."
In a Superior Court petition to re
gain custody of Marylyn, Dr. Thorpe
stated Miss Astor wrote:
"• • * Maybe Marylyn some day
