Career of defer-journalist

The time of Canard Enchaîné

He joined the Duck connected in February 1917, recommended by Paul Valiant-Dressmaker, with which he binds friendship, like with Roland Dorgelès. Its old friendship with Albert London, whose talent had been revealed at the beginning of the war, could also be used to him as calling card. He also collaborates at the end of the war to the Crapouillot of Jean Galtier-Boissière.

In the Canard Enchaîné , it publishes tales, a short serial ( the anguish of the mercanti or counts it barrel in 1918), a study on Lyons humor, and especially of the polemical articles against the Parliament, the French Academy, the government, the officers antirépublicains and the French Action. It is him which introduces with the Canard Enchaîné , the reference to the Juliénas, which passed for the wine of the Canard Enchaîné par excellence until the Années 1960.

It is also to defer international to the Parisian Petit and to Paris-Evening .

1934 - 1944

The Canard breaks with Henry Béraud when it takes party for the demonstrators of the February 6th, 1934. In the Reasons of a silence , the writer explains the reasons of his engagement of 1934 for which it had “to give up many joys, to break dear friendships”; essentially, it was a question of finishing some as fast as possible with a “mode in full puncture which announced the war and the disaster”. For Jean Galtier-Boissière, friend of Béraud, this one evolved/moved of the extreme left to the extreme right-hand side without clearly realizing it, while following the slope of its interests: it came from there to be identified in the large world whose its talent had known to force the doors.

It also takes part in the review the white Blackbird , of Eugene Merlo, with Work and it is international reporter and observant policy to the Journal . He is the semi-official political director and leader-writer of Gringoire of 1928 with 1943. He writes articles anglophobes violently, without testing particular sympathy to the Germany Nazi E. He however is condemned to died in 1944 for intelligence with the enemy, but he is pardoned by the general de Gaulle.

Seriously sick, it is released in 1950 and dies in 1958 in its property of the Ile de Ré.
