GAULLE Charles de L.A.S., Paris, 25 June 1936, to Paul Reynaud; 2 1/2 pages in-8 on the printed letterhead of the Presidency of the Conseil Supérieur de la Défense Nationale. Charles de Gaulle insists on the question of arms. "You are the ones who will have to reunite the nation, perhaps soon. Now, a country can only be brought together by a feeling, that of the peril it faces, and since the world has been the world, this feeling has had only one expression, military policy. The ancient instinct of the tribe that stops quarrelling over sheep or women when it hears the rumour of enemies and suddenly agrees to prepare slings and arrows. Doesn't it seem to you that the time has come for you to bring the question of our weapons to the forefront? Hitler did nothing else to bring Germany together. Slight marks on the corners but no damage to the text. Bibliography: L. N. C., vol. 1, p. 795.
