GAULLE Charles de. 2 L. A. (minutes with erasures and corrections), 17 January and 16 March 1954; 2 and 1 pages in-8 on the letterhead of Le Général de Gaulle. 17 January 1954, to Jules Moch. "La Folie des hommes has interested me to the utmost. The subject, today, dominates all others. You have dealt with it, not only with great clarity, but also by making us feel that there is no longer any politics that holds, either outside or inside, except in terms of this immense problem. For my part, I believe as you do that we can and must save the human race, despite their madness or, more accurately perhaps, despite the law of their species. There is a kind of obligation there that goes far beyond all doctrines and all imperialisms"... LNC, II, p. 1140. 16 March 1954, to Joseph PauL-boncouR: "Dear Mr President, Although I don't think I'll ever get to Algiers in May, it would naturally be a pleasure to see you, Nisse and Cerf-Ferrière to discuss your project. Commandant de Bonneval is at your disposal to arrange a date and time"... Attached is an autograph note on a card headed "Institut national de la Statistique et des Études Économiques": "Moi. M. Closon, Director General has sent me L'Annuaire statistique de la France with a lecture he gave".
