...Paris, resolute Premier Edouard Daladier, at last able to convince Britain that she had reason to feel the gravest alarm (see col. 3), rushed French preparations to fight effectively at once, if obliged...
During this busy week Mr. Green was sought out by the "John L. Lewis of France," Léon Jouhaux of the potbelly and off-centre goatee, whose aggressive political unions are a great concern of Premier Edouard Daladier. M.
