Numerous leagues are backed ‘by arms or military _ training. | There sare, for example, the “Fran. istes,” avowed fascists with blue | shi » banners and Sam Brown | belts, and the “national socialists” | whose godfather is Senator Jean Hennessey, the cognac king.” And outstanding among the military orders is the famous '“Croix de Feu,” made up of war ‘veterans, into whose unarmed ranks was poured on February 6 ‘the police fire of “Bloody Tues- include jday.”” Those fata] shots gave im- petus to the whole movement for ‘constitutional reform. hame “Croix de Feu” means literally “Crosses of Fire” but is better translated as “Cr es Won Under Fir It does not mean “Fiery Crosses,” as has so frequently been said. The aim of the veterans is to renovate the government because “cabinets are chosen from the jbosom of a self-centered parlia- lment which keeps them at its {mercy and does not permit a pre- mier to hold power a minute aft- er he shows the least civie cour- | age or energetic virtue.” |.
