Former President Millerand has been its legal defender; former President Doumer was a director of one subsidiary; present President Albert Labrum is a former director of another. So--most significantly of all--is former Premier Andre Tardieu, great leader of the Right. There was no stronger influence upon former Premier Poincare in his occupation of the Ruhr than the Comite; the present agitation over the Saar Basin springs from its headquarters. It is governed by a commission of directors, and upon this commission, as President (we must now displease another lover of anonymity), there sits the misty and cloud-wreathed...

Republican idealists were more concerned over the fact that for the first time since the founding of the Third Republic the Cabinet contained two generals. Marshal...
...Premier Chautemps, "will be public safety at home and national security abroad." Flaying this platitude as "weak and vague," the Paris Press clamored for an end to what was called "the massacre of Ministries." As yet no French would-be-dictator loomed, but that slashing Conservative, onetime Premier Andre Tardieu, get out on a stump-speaking tour of the provinces to thunder: "Liberty must be protected by Authority!" Though protesting that he does not aspire to become a Hitler or Mussolini, M. Tardieu warned that "There are rising at the doors of France regimes of mass dictatorships imported from Asia...
