    The London School of Economics and Political Science The New Industrial Order: Vichy, Steel, and the Origins of the Monnet Plan, 1940-1946 Luc-André Brunet A thesis submitted to the Department of International History of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, July 2014 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 87,402 words. 2 Abstract Following the Fall of France in 1940, the nation’s industry was fundamentally reorganised under the Vichy regime. This thesis traces the history of the keystones of this New Industrial Order, the Organisation Committees, by focusing on the organisation of the French steel industry between the end of the Third Republic in 1940 and the establishment of the Fourth Republic in 1946. It challenges traditional views by showing that the Committees were created largely to facilitate economic collaboration with Nazi Germany.

  • Jean Cocteau's the Typewriter
    1 A Queer Premiere: Jean Cocteau’s The Typewriter Introduction Late in April 1941, toward the close of the first Parisian theatre season fol- lowing the Defeat, Jean Cocteau’s La Machine à écrire (The Typewriter) opened, then closed, then reopened at the Théâtre Hébertot. Written in the style of a detective drama, the play starred the actor generally known—at least in the entertainment world at the time—as Cocteau’s sometime lover and perpetual companion, Jean Marais, as identical twin brothers. The re- views are curiously reticent about what exactly occurred at the Hébertot, and historians and critics offer sometimes contradictory pieces of a puzzle that, even when carefully put together, forms an incomplete picture. The fragments are, however, intriguing. Merrill Rosenberg describes how, on the evening of April 29, 1941, the dress rehearsal (répétition génerale), sponsored “as a gala” by the daily Paris-Soir and attended by various “dig- nitaries,” caused in the Hébertot’s auditorium a demonstration by members of the Parti Populaire Français (PPF). This disruption prompted Vichy’s ambas- sador to Paris, Fernand de Brinon, to order the withdrawal of the production (“Vichy’s Theatrical Venture” 136). Francis Steegmuller describes the disor- der that greeted the Typewriter premiere and the revival of Les Parents Terribles (at the Gymnase later that year): “stink bombs exploded in the theatres, and hoodlums filled the aisles and climbed onto the stage, shouting obscenities at Cocteau and Marais as a couple” (442).1 Patrick Marsh too notes that these plays “were seriously disrupted by violent scenes fomented by fascist sym- pathizers and members of the Parti Populaire Français” (“Le Théâtre 1 2 THE DRAMA OF FALLEN FRANCE Français .

  • Joseph Caillaux
    JACOJ'ES CHASTF.NET JOSEPH CAILLAUX, • UN HOMME D'ETAT AUX VUES PROPHÉTIQUES vril 1925. Les élections législatives intervenues un an aupa- ravant ont donné la majorité au Cartel des gauches. Le prési• dent du Conseil, Raymond Poincaré, s'est spontanément démis. Le président de la République, Millerand, s'est vu contraint d'en faire autant et a été remplacé par le jovial Gaston Doumergue. La prési• dence du Conseil a échu à Edouard Herriot. Très vite la situation financière est devenue inquiétante. Le budget est en déséquilibre. En présence de ces difficultés le mi• nistère finit par se disloquer. Pour former un nouveau cabinet le président de la République s'adresse à Paul-Prudent Painlevé. Savant mathématicien (« le seul qui me fasse aimer Pytha- gore » soupire la poétesse Anna de Noailles), Painlevé est aussi un politicien expert. Sachant, dans les circonstances, le ministère des Finances le plus difficile à gérer, il a l'idée d'en confier la direction à Joseph Caillaux. Caillaux vient d'avoir soixante-deux ans et ne les paraît pas. Ne perdant pas un pouce de sa taille, le geste décidé, parfois sacca• dé, le menton volontaire, une courte moustache ombrageant sa lèvre supérieure, il est affligé d'une calvitie qui ne nuit pas à sa silhouette d'une élégance un peu affectée que complète un monocle tantôt vissé à l'œil droit, tantôt brinquebalant au bout d'un cordon• net. Il a déjà été plusieurs fois ministre des Finances et une fois président du Conseil. Encore qu'issu d'un milieu fort conservateur et ayant personnellement des goûts d'aristocrate, il était, dès avant la guerre de 1914-1918, très mal vu de la droite, voire des modérés, parce qu'il était le promoteur de l'impôt général sur le revenu et JOSEPH CAILLAl'X 277 aussi parce qu'il prenait le contre-pied du nationalisme chauvin qui régnait dans toute une partie de l'opinion.

  • Cérémonie Des Déportés , Avril 2014
    Allocution pour la journée de la Déportation , avril 2014 Monsieur le député-maire, monsieur le conseiller général, messieurs les maires du canton, mesdames et messieurs les élus, messieurs les présidents et représentants d'associations patriotiques, chers amis, Aujourd’hui c'est la troisième année que nous commémorons la journée du souvenir de la Déportation devant cette stèle, ou ces hommes dont les noms sont inscrits dans le marbre connurent l’enfer concentrationnaire et la cruauté nazie parce qu’ils avaient résisté à l'occupant vert de gris et à ses collaborateurs. Août 1940, suite à la trahison Pétainiste, la machine administrative collaborationniste et un pouvoir totalitaire se mettaient en place après l’armistice et devenait complice du pire. Ainsi, rapidement les premiers convois de déportés dans des wagons à bestiaux ont pu se réaliser sans trop de difficulté grâce à la complicité de l’État Français, contaminé par l’idéologie du 3ème Reich 1 commettant l’irréparable alors que le Général de Gaulle préparait depuis Londres la Résistance et le retour de la vraie et de la seule France que nous aimons en lavant la honte de juin 1940. La machine de mort orchestrée par la barbarie nazie à bien été huilée par les collaborations européennes dont 10% de français furent séduits par les sirènes nazies. La chasse aux juifs, aux résistants et opposants au régime hitlérien de toutes nationalités fut alors engagée et bien aidée par la délation et par la milice de joseph DARNAND. La France, alors plongée dans les abîmes a vu surgir autour de

  • Synarchy Movement of Empire Book Ii
    SYNARCHY MOVEMENT OF EMPIRE BOOK II THE MODERN SYNARCHY INTERNATIONAL by Pierre Beaudry LAVAL BEASTMAN OF VICHY LEESBURG, Va. June 20, 2005 1 DEDICATION This book is dedicated to the LaRouche Youth Movement (LYM) worldwide, and particularly to the French LYM, who deserve to know the truth about French history and world affairs. Previous generations of French citizens had settled their accounts with their immediate past history by either going to war, or by getting involved into absurd coups d'Etat, however, they never knew why they were doing so. My generation of Bohemian Bourgeois (BoBos) has not done that; it didn't care to do anything for history, nor for the future generations. It was only interested in lying and in taking care of "Me, Me, Me!" The problem that the youth of today are face with is that the truth about the French Revolution, about Napoleon Bonaparte, about the Synarchy, about the destruction of the Third Republic, or about Vichy has never been told. So, either the truth comes out now, and finally exorcises the French population as a whole, once and forever, or else the French nation is doomed to repeat the same mistakes of the past, again and again. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS BOOK II THE MODERN SYNARCHY INTERNATIONAL 1.1 SAINT YVES D'ALVEYDRE: THE SYNARCHY OF A ONE-WORLD EMPIRE …………… 8 ***** 1.2 INTRODUCTION 2.2 AGAINST THE PEACE OF WESTPHALIA AND AMERICA 3.2 A SYNARCHIST CONSTITUTION FOR EUROPE 4.2 SYNARCHIST ALLIANCE AGAINST ISLAM AND THE "TARTARS" 5.2 THE EXCLUSION OF ISLAM 6.2 SAINT-YVES D'ALVEYDRE, A VICTIM OF BIPOLARITY 7.2 THE HATRED OF PLATO AND OF {AGAPE} 8.2 THE CREATION OF THE {ORDRE MARTINISTE ET SYNARCHIQUE} 9.2 THE MYSTICAL ORIGINS OF THE SYNARCHY DOCTRINE 10.2 EISENHOWER INVITED TO HEAD THE AMERICAN SYNARCHY .

Félix Gouin devait déclarer de son côté : « L'épisode du Massilia, à mon sens, doit être considéré comme le symbole de la prérésistance, le sursaut conscient de la Nation représentée par ses élus devant l'abîme creusé sous ses pas par la complaisance et la trahison », tandis que Paul-Boncour, voyant une seule et même démarche dans le voyage du Massilia et le refus des pleins pouvoirs au maréchal Pétain, écrivait : « C'est par eux (les 80 parlementaires qui ont voté contre les pleins pouvoirs au maréchal Pétain) et par ceux des embarqués du Massilia, partis sur la terre d'Afrique pour y continuer la lutte que, dès la première heure, s'est d'abord affirmée la volonté de résistance.

The men in the new regime immediately began to make social and political changes which, in their mind, were long overdue. They believed that they could negotiate with the occupation officials in the North and maintain France‟s sovereignty, at least in the “free” Southern zone. They also believed, as did a large part of the French people, that the inadequacies of the republican system had lost France the war.
