Abstract
- This article presents the author's views on the French political system. The resignation of General, Chief of the General Staff, France was in form a protest against the Government's dismissal of two of his subordinates, and so against political interference with military affairs; but he had threatened to resign, not long before, in protest against cuts in the military budget. Apart from the regulars, there are the 300,000 conscripts who pass through the Army every year, and their attitudes are as varied as those in the country.
