Whereas Poincare was eager to “go in and stay in” Herriot was eager to “get out” in some way commensurate with na- tional dignity, while Painleve, rep- resenting a moderation in both di- rections, has been going at it siower than Herriot probably would have done had he remained in power, yet Is “getting out” nevertheless. are and by the naturally was Germany learned the lesson that evasiveness didn't work.
