handle is hein.journals/intlr36 and id is 1 raw text is: INTERNATIONAL LABOUR REVIEW VOL. XXXVI, No. 1. JULY 1937 A Year of Experiment in France: I by Fernand MAURETTE The Popular Front Government, which came into power in France after the election of May 1936, remained in office for slightly over one year (4 June 1936 to 21 June 1937), and was followed by a second Government of similar composition with approximately the same supporters. It is no doubt too early to give a complete description of, or pass final judgment on, the accomplishments of that Government, in regard to social legislation or in other matters. Even before resigning, however, the Govern- ment had decided, after carrying out a number of social, economic, and financial reforms which may be described as unprecedented in the history of the Third Republic, to interrupt its programme, in accordance with the views of the great majority of the general public, so as to enable the country to assimilate the reforms already passed and gather strength for further changes. The new Govern- ment has confirmed this interruption of the programme. It would therefore seem to be an appropriate moment to survey the position, analyse the work already accomplished, and attempt some explanation of it. This is what Mr. F. Maurette does in the following article, with special reference to the social reforms and their e~ects on the economic system and on the life of the nation. THE PROGRAMME OF THE POPULAR COALITION T HE work of the first popular coalition Government was based not on a plan but on a programme. The distinction will be obvious. A plan means a complete coherent outline of certain tasks to be completed within a given period, the outline being logically evolved from a certain doctrine. A programme, on the other hand, is an enumeration of reforms
