In these pages you will read about how the Premier, several of his Ministers, and various of their associates exploited the recent tensions with Germany to enrich themselves at the expense of small investors throughout France. This paper has recently learned that just prior to making invasion threats against Germany, the above officials took large short positions on the Bourse. As the Government took measures to mobilize forces and demand payment of German reparations under threat of invasion, the market fell like a stone, due to fears of renewed war between France and Germany. Exploiting the situation masterfully, these officials covered their short positions just before announcing the resolution of the crisis. While the Bourse has nearly recovered its pre-crisis level, this paper expects the voters of France to remember in the parliamentary elections only two weeks away how their rulers provoked, then exploited, their fears for personal enrichment.
