SOME VALUES OF FAIRS . his guest or his host feel that, for the time being at least, life was wade primarily for them and for them im part nership. This, in the affairs of the Great war wps th« single touch that Viviani gave us. It was a little incident but at the time It meant much. No one perhaps but a student of words w'ould be in­ terested in the fact that the first name of Rene Vivjani, form er French premier who died Monday, means “ king- born.” It has no significance except that of association. It happens that Viviani was a native of South of France, 4 in a country where the memory of King Rene’s court in the fifteenth century is still warmly held. But it also happens that this man, designed for a priest, educated as a lawyer and spending the most of his life as a politician, was a socialist by inclination and departed from the in­ fluences of that belief, it is understood, only so far as the practical administration of affairs calls for a more prac­ tical interpretation of the afternatives of life than does the s. socialist theory of action. And then again, most people the world oer think of socialism as distinctly a “ c ity ” cult.’ Its formulae seem to work out best where people rhb together in the mass, in­ stead of being separated far apart by the facta of nature ns are farmers. But Rene Viviani was by birth and in­ clination again wholly sympathetic with the fanner. He associated with and was loved by the peasants of Auver­ gne. This was apt to ameliorate his conventional social­ ism. It deepened if anything his .appreciation of the pos­ sibilities and the needs of human kind. Viviani was the prime minister of Franco when the groat war broke out, a war which the contrary natures of every nation are now trying to Bhow was altogether d if­ ferent from what it seems to h a\e been. “ Nay, Madame, not seems,” said Hamlet to his mother; “ it is ”—might wall be the reply to those who fancy, to shadow in the doubts of time the shining facts of human experiehce. Viviani, the socialist prime minister of France, contribut­ ed his Bhare, much or little as it could he afforded by his portion, to preventing the succession of events that made the war inevitable. His efforts failed, ns did those on all side« who tried to make momentary emotions of greater avail than the driving farce of national rivalry. ♦ And later, Viviani came to the United Slates as a leader of a French commission to cement the relations o f France and this country during the war. Barring that insularity which he shared with all prominent French­ men, of knowing no language hut his own, he made , a pleasant ipipression. The Frenchman of high type has a for condescension that is native to neither the Britisher nor the German.
