Abstract

Why France Has No Dictator
Ravage, M. E. | February 5, 1938 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses French politics. Everyone in the least familiar with developments in France had been expecting a regime change for months. But it was something of a shock to find that the Popular Front had suddenly gone the way of all flesh, that despite the solemn oaths and the dire warnings that held it together, it had broken down like the cartels before it. The dissolution of a parliamentary majority, however, should not be mistaken for the failure of a popular movement. The quarrels and ineptitude of the leaders should not be confused with the will of a people, nor the political coalition in the French Chambers with the cohesive masses in the country.
