...wrote the book. The national tittering is beginning to get on his nerves. What Frenchmen titter at is the self-portrait of youthful Poet-Journalist-Socialist Blum sowing his wild oats. What is not so titillating or so new. but only a little on the old-fashioned side of Gallic good sense, is his sex theory. A succes de scandale in England since the first translation appeared there last month, in the U. S. Marriage will likely perk up more ears than it burns...
...Sarraut with badly concealed clumsiness, thunder was coming from the left and fire from the right. In arriving at the crossroad, canny Frenchmen saw the issue as it really was and made a sharp left turn. If European history for the last few years can give any lessons, Gallic logic has scored a substantial victory, and one of infinite more promise than the shallow opera being played out on the Ethiopean plains...

If a reason such as was advanced then for the invasion of prostrate Germany suffices...
...read him out, and his late government rested largely upon its support. It is a matter of common knowledge that the Radical Socialist party is less "Radical" than the Socialist, and the term "further on the conservative side" as used in the Crimson was mere editorial comparison. As for "Gallic tastes", Laval's disregard for the League of Nations has been notorious, and as long as he remained Premier his conduct must be taken as representative of a majority of Frenchmen. Whether or not it would have been easy to dissolve the "league" is a debateable question; the simple fact...
