They can only be treated if individual nations, notably France and West Germany, succeed in putting their trading accounts in better balance...
...banks that succeed seem to do so by recruiting able management and making the local black community feel deeply involved. One problem is that many Negroes still feel more secure depositing their money with white bankers. This will be overcome in time, as education spreads. The longer-term danger is that, in their desire for safe profits, the black bankers may become overly prudent and turn down loans to the new Negro entrepreneurs who alone can turn the dream of "black capitalism" into a reality...

To the government, they are dangerously politicized criminals who must...

In Act Two the play shifts to Robespierre himself in the French Revolution and Anouilh goes on to caricature the man asserting at one point that Robespierre killed "because he couldn't succeed in growing up." The dangers that come along with the second generation of revolutionary leaders, who are generally more intolerant and uncompromising than the original leaders, are too serious to allow one to be happy at seeing them parodied in Anouilh's manner...
