Abstract

France at Its Best

Werth, Alexander | November 4, 1939 issue

add to cart   close window

This article discusses the policy of the French government on Second World War. France knows that his war, more even than the First World War, is a life-and-death struggle for France and Great Britain. Till the last moment, France hoped that war was not absolutely inevitable, that some attempt might be made to reach a compromise over Danzig. The French attitude towards Soviet Union is in the main hostile and the French government has started its drive against the Communist leaders, some of which are still preaching Stalinist "pacifism." The Hitler-Stalin pact has resulted in the disappearance of the Communist Party as a political party in France.
