Many a bourgeois Frenchman's fear that his new Government is far too chummy with Red Russia was voiced last week in the Chamber of Deputies when Deputy Henri de Kerillis accused Air Minister Pierre Cot of having given to Soviet Russia a priceless French secret: a model and blueprints for the 23-mm. machine gun with which France's huge "airfortress" planes are to be armed.

The Snyders did not own Holinge, which complicated Bengt's problem. Its owner was a distant relative, an eccentric named Charles-Henri de Grévy, who had fled Sweden 20 years before as a result of shady stock manipulation.
