...Radical Socialist Cabinet and hope that it would, as in 1924 and 1925, make the traditional mess of French monetary affairs the Left has so often made in France, thus enraging the populace and strengthening the Right on the Rebound. Elder leaders of the Radical Socialists, such as famed "Edouard I" Herriot, who was made the goat of France's currency debacle in 1925 and 1926, have tried vainly to restrain the younger Radical Socialists led by the Party's irascible new President "Edouard II" Daladier...

What with the rain and the split, Premier Pierre Laval, astute and earthy, was able to face the Chamber of Deputies with...
Besides being a Cabinet Minister, a Deputy, a party chief and Mayor of Lyon, Edouard Herriot, thrice Premier of France, manages to turn out a good book almost every year. He may write about politics, the history of religions, archaeology or Madame de Staël. His study in Lyon is a jumble of dusty documents, old pipes, broken spectacles. In it there is also an old-fashioned upright piano, stacks of music which M. Herriot likes to play. Published for the first time in English last week was a Herriot book on Beethoven, the composer who appeals most...
