GAULLE Charles de L.A.S., 17 December 1934, to Paul Reynaud; 3 1/2 pages in-8. Concerning a study on the creation of a professional army. "I am enclosing a supplementary study that I have just carried out on the possibility of creating a professional army. In it I have provided the figures and details that I had the honour of giving you the other day in summary form on the question of manpower and expenditure. I would like to point out to you, in case you have not read it, the new article by M. Léon Blum in yesterday's Populaire on the subject of military policy. It seems possible to me that Mr. Blum, given his state of mind at the moment, will intervene tomorrow in the Chamber in the discussion of the 800 million credit and will raise the question of the professional army in the manner and from the angle that you may think".
