Édouard DALADIER (1884-1970) statesman, signatory of the Munich agreements. L.S., Paris November 29, 1938, to Léon BLUM; 4pages in-4 dactyl. on Présidence du Conseil letterhead. Long, scathing letter in response to Blum on requisitions, retorting that he himself had initiated and used them under the Front Populaire. [In November 1938, Daladier, President of the Council, issued decrees reversing certain Front Populaire measures, in particular the 40-hour week law; major strikes were provoked; the government requisitioned transport and sent troops to factory entrances].Daladier first recalls and details the spirit and scope of the decrees he has issued, then vehemently responds: "Will you reproach me for giving the Law of 1877 the scope you yourself gave it when you asked me to issue the Decree of June 6, 1936 to carry out gasoline requisitions, and when by application of this same initial text the Under-Secretary of State for Public Works asked me, in agreement with you, to requisition, in accordance with the Decree of June 6, 1936, barges with their personnel to ensure, on October 13, 1936, the supply of coal to the Paris region?". The same procedure has been used time and again, without the slightest criticism, to requisition industrial plants and their personnel. The most typical example is the requisition of the FOUGA factory in Béziers on July 29, 1938, along with its staff, almost all of whom were engaged in manufacturing railway equipment. This requisition met with the full approval of Le Populaire. At a time when the latter newspaper was publicly accusing me, on several occasions, of violating the law, and of taking illegal requisitions in matters of railways and public or conceded services, did I not have the right to recall the texts which had given me the power to act, and to refer to the interpretation which had been adopted, when you were President of the Council, with your approval and even on your initiative?"...
