Meanwhile Léon Blum, regarded as the "logical" Premier-designate, since his Socialist Party is at the centre of the existing Left majority in the Chamber, indulged in day after day of desultory bargaining with all parties. Juridical experts of the French Foreign Office contributed to Paris' somewhat fantastic calm by gravely declaring that juridically there was nothing wrong about the German Army's entering Austria at the "invitation" of the Austrian Government. This was, they said, no violation of international law and it was "not invasion"-an opinion which sounded like the Wilhelmstrasse but was actually...
