Talk:Paul Reynaud

Untitled

After the invasion of France by Germany he made Charles de Gaulle a member of the Cabinet.

Was de Gaulle actually in the cabinet? The list here doesn't imply so. De Gaulle's article says he was, but as under-secretary of state for national defence and war - would such a post be in the cabinet? Timrollpickering 21:57, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Under normal circumstances not, only ministers are part of the cabinet. But as Reynaud himself was both PM and Minister of Defense de Gaulle had to take a far bigger responsibility than usual under-secretarys had and participated in the cabinet meetings. Kind of having the job, but not the insignia.

De Gaulle was involved in every meeting between the French and English cabinets during the Battle of France : at the Briare conference,on June the 11th, de Gaulle met Churchill for the first time and both of them shared the same analysis about the war. --Despointes

I thought I would point out the pointer to "Blue Horizon" takes one to the "British blues record label" page called "Blue Horizon". I presume the pointer in Paul Reynaud is not related to the label.

Return to Government

There seems to be extreme bias toward 'free-market liberalism' -so called - throughout the article (and in other articles on the France of the era) but especially in 'Return to Government'. To whit: 'Reynaud's reforms proved remarkably successful; a massive austerity program was implemented (although armament measures were not cut) and France's coffers expanded from 37 billion francs in September 1938 to 48 billion francs at the outbreak of war a year later.' The claim that Reynaud's reforms led to French economic recovery is dubious, at best. In fact, austerity measures are generally recognized as having extended the Depression and increased its intensity. Only one figure is cited to support the claim of success, an expansion of France's 'coffers' at the eve of the war. This article may or may not be a translation from the French but it certainly has an ideological bent toward the economic policies of the current French administration. In short, this article needs to be vetted and revised by a scholar in the field. RobotBoy66 (talk) 08:22, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
