Other Men of Good Will in that amorphous, hopeful group were the Frenchmen Daladier, Georges Bonnet, Yvon Delbos (whom Romains says he made Foreign Minister), Ambassador André Francois-Poncet; Belgian Cabinet Minister Henri de Man; presumably many whom Good Willman Romains does not name. They believed that "nothing good could ever come of war," devoted themselves to plotting peace coups which somehow never came off. The greatest of these plots was hatched by Henri...
...Court, composed of five prominent French jurists, an admiral and a general, has a shameful political job to perform. Revolutions and great defeats demand their scapegoats. Elected scapegoats, apparently in cold blood, were Generalissimo Maurice Gustave Gamelin, onetime Premiers Edouard Daladier, Paul Reynaud and Leon Blum, onetime Ministers Yvon Delbos, Georges Mandel, Cesar Campinchi, Guy La Chambre, Pierre Cot, and their direct & indirect collaborators. The men of Vichy apparently still had a little too much conscience to take the scapegoats' lives. The maximum sentence the Riom court may impose is life imprisonment. Although there is no appeal, Marshal Henri...
...nation into the familiar authoritarian pattern of government by suppression, censorship, alibis, purges. Echoes of "Heads will roll" Hitlerism were heard from Paris to Marseille as the Petain Government announced that onetime Premier Edouard Daladier, onetime Interior Minister Georges Mandel, onetime Navy Minister Cesar Campinchi, onetime Foreign Minister Yvon Delbos and numerous other pre-Petain Government leaders were under arrest and would be tried and punished because "they threw our country into war although they knew we were not ready to fight...
...civilized world. The Gestapo doubtless had thousands of them in concentration camps. Mystery surrounded France's democratic leaders. Ex-Premier Paul Reynaud was suffering at an unrevealed hospital from severe head injuries resulting from a "motor accident"; former Premier Edouard Daladier, former Ministers Georges Mandel and Yvon Delbos were "at sea" on a ship long overdue and missing-according to Berlin. The only Frenchmen heard from were those willing to play Hitler's game, for Hitler's Gauleiter of Gaul was practical, nonliberal, Italophile Constitution-Maker Laval himself...
...those French and British capitalists from whom France must try to keep on borrowing at the rate of over 30,000,000,000 francs per year, to keep her armament program going. On the other hand, a point in the Cabinet's favor is that pathetic, inexperienced Yvon Delbos is no longer Foreign Minister, has been replaced by veteran Joseph Paul-Boncour, everlasting French delegate to the League of Nations. Like his great friend Lord Perth, who as Sir Eric Drummond was League Secretary General for 14 years, M. Paul-Boncour has been a believer in making a Four...
