The dispatches describe the young ruler as happier than a kitten to be sitting . in the driver's sea again. I suppose this habit of rulership grows on. one. Anyway, no king ever seems to be happy anywhere save on his throne and in his . palace. ,t Here In (relatively) happy Amer lea, Ave think ANY king Is a pimple on the fair face of nature. What we frequently forget Is that dem ocracy Is a good habit that must be acquired slowly and painstak ingly, with' due regard for ' the self-disciplines it Imposes, if It is to work. i ' I sometimes fear that a lot of the trouble we have run Into In our well-meant efforts to run the ' world better than it has been run before arises out of our firm, con viction that the first thins we must do is to mould everybody else's . lorm of government- Into the pat tern of OUR lorm ,01 government.

An assembly of 350- Moroccan leaders, including pashas (nobles) aids (tribal leaders) and religious dignitaries signed a document pledging their alliance, in the presence of the Maghzen, or su Dreme council. - But In Cairo, the 1.000-year-old Al Azhar, which claims to be Islam's most authoritative institution, took a dim view of the proceeding and called upon the Moslem world to "start a crusade against France." The deposed Sultan has been widely espoused by nationalists in the Arab worm Because no encour aged the Istaqlal (independence) Party In his own country. Cairo dispatches said Egyptian president Gen. Mohamed Naguib, on a pilgrimage to Mecca, stood In front of the Kaaba, Islam's holiest shrine, and prayed that "Allah ventre the Moroccans."

In a .communique early today, Laniel promised to consult inter ested unions before putting into effect decrees cutting public pay rolls and increasing retirement age limits for government em ployes. He also agreed to have another look at the problems of the (owest-paid workers and get something In motion toward the idea of full employment. - The walkouts began as a protest by the FO and the CFTC against Laniel's plan to balance his budget by . firing surplus employes and upplng retirement ages. The Com munists came in later with de mands for Increases in wages and cost-of-living allowances. All the unions' argued the gov ernment should begin its campaign to rescue the national Treasury from near, bankruptcy by moving against the tax-evading rich.
