GAULLE Charles de L.A.S., Metz, 3 November 1937, to Paul Reynaud; 2 pages in-4 on the printed letterhead of the 507th tank regiment, accompanied by a manuscript of 11 pages in-4. About the Democratic Alliance. "In case you think it appropriate to intervene in the national defence debate of the Democratic Alliance, I take the liberty of sending you herewith some notes. There are, moreover, in your book, on the political and technical conditions of the military problem, on the unity of leadership, etc., all the necessary details. I imagine that a speech by you to the Alliance today would aim to seduce and persuade, as much as to castigate. Have I already had the opportunity to talk to you about the "Organisation of the Nation for wartime", a vast project whose idea is French, but which, in France, has not yet come to fruition, due to the indifference of some or the cowardice of others? If you are interested in this question, I would be happy to provide you with more detailed information. Light bites. Bibliography: L. N. C., vol. 1, p. 839-840.
