...Napoleon's Clisson et Eugénie, written shortly before the 26-year-old artillery officer, shabby, suffering from itch and malaria-appreciated only by a few of his colleagues-made his name by smashing a royalist coup in Paris on Oct. 4, 1795. Until now this fragmentary (13-page) romance was known only to bibliophiles through a sketch published by a Polish scholar...
Noteworthy it was that the Deputies made a big distinction between Daladier the Premier and Daladier the War Minister. Only praise was found for M. Daladier's conduct of the war. Party spokesmen from Socialist Léon Blum to Royalist Xavier Vallat applauded the War Minister's report of France's part in the conflict, cheered when he warned that should the "enemy Führer" order the bombing of French cities (as has recently been threatened by the German radio), the French "will return blow for blow...

Rightist newsorgans (particularly the Royalist Action Française) played up the scandal as typical Leftist corruption. Rightists began to demonstrate in Paris, and Police Chief Jean Chiappe seemed overly lenient in dealing with the demonstrators. The Chautemps Government fell and M. Daladier, Chautemps' successor, fired M. Chiappe. It was then-February 6, 1934-that a mob gathered at the Place de la Concorde and started over a bridge across...
