Head of the Royalist newspaper, L'Action Francaise, M. Daudet as a writer has been a chronic under-dog. Never, or practically never, has his party been "in." Always has he been "out," in a strong editorial position, having nothing to defend, and having every chance of gaining by a change in the present conditions of affairs. This has given to his pen, and perhaps to his whole mentality, a virulence not unlike that to be found in The Nation and in the oil charges of the Democratic party in this country...
This extremely severe discipline was meted out by the Supreme Pontiff in an effort to stop the famed editors of L'Action Française, Mr. Leon Daudet and Charles Maurras, from trading upon the prestige of Catholicism in order to gain Royalist supporters. This they have done by spreading a perverted doctrine, namely that Catholicism-which has so often upheld a stumbling royal house-should at this date espouse the lost cause of the Most Catholic House of Bourbon...
Despatches from Paris told that the stand taken by the Papacy has already shorn Editors Daudet and Maurras of perhaps half their Roman Catholic supporters. For example, the smart, swagger group of young Royalist bravos who used to be known as Les Camelots du Roi, "The King's Newsboys," because they sold copies of L'Action Française have deserted in numbers approaching a stampede...

Since that merry escapade every policeman in France has received the order "Arrest M. Leon Daudet on sight"-but Daudet has managed to conceal his whereabouts. Therefore a sensation burst last week, at Paris, when it was announced that Editor Daudet would positively address a Royalist audience...
...placing Leon Daudet's newspaper L'Action Francaise on the Index Expurgatorius (thus banning it at once from all Roman Catholic homes). His Holiness' policy was based on the conviction that the wily, obstreperous editors of L'Action were using their paper (devoted to the royalist cause) as the organ of a school of thought whose doctrines are absolutely irreconcilable with Catholicism. The Cardinal's objection was said to be based on a conviction that political activities of royalist Catholics should not be censured by the Pope...
