'10' The removal of such managerial authority has since the second

World war taken place inside the United Nations and other Western

public administrations and seems to be the aim of much communist

trade union effort。  The result has everywhere been added cost and

decreased efficiency。  (SR。)



'11' This principle has been introduced in Western educational

systems when clever self…appointed psychologists told parents and

teacher alike that they could and should not punish their children

but only talk and explain to them。  (SR。)



'12' This description fits the staff regulations of the United

Nations secretariat in which I served for 32 years。 (SR。)



'13' Decrees of December 14 and December 22; 1789: 〃In

municipalities reduced to three members (communes below five hundred

inhabitants); all executive functions shall belong to the mayor

alone。〃



'14' Could it be that Lenin took note of this and had 〃it this

translated in Russian and made use of it in his and later in Stalin's

schools for international revolutionaries。  It would in any case

have weakened the Bourgeois Capitalist countries。 In any case such

measures have been introduced both in the international

organizations and in most Western Democratic Governments after World

War II。 (SR。)



'15' This was in the United Nations called 'Rotation' and made the

administration of missions and forces difficult; expensive and

inefficient。  This rotation was also used in the Indian and other

armies in order to prevent the officers to reach an understanding or

achieve any power over the troops under their command。  (SR。)



'16' Laws of September 23 … October 29; 1790; January 16; 1791。

(Titles II。  And VII。) … Cf。  the legal prescriptions in relation to

the military tribunals。  In every prosecuting or judicial jury one…

seventh of the sworn members are taken from the non…commissioned

officers; and one…seventh from the soldiers; and again; according to

the rank of the accused; the number of those of the same rank is

doubled。



'17' Law of July 28th; August 12; 1791。

kingdom。〃



'21' Moniteur; X。  132。  Speech by M。  Labergerie; November 8; 1791。



'22' At Montauban; in the intendant's salon; the ladies of the place

spoke patois only; the grandmother of the gentleman who has informed

me of this fact did not understand any other language。

Lecoulteux; reporter。



'24' Moniteur; XI。  283; sitting of February 2; 1792。  Speech by

Cambon: 〃They go away thinking that they understand what is

explained to them; but return the following day to obtain fresh

explanations。  The attorneys refuse to give the municipalities any

assistance; stating that they know nothing about these matters。〃



'25' The same may happen when a subordinate is promoted to be placed

in charge of his or her former equals and colleagues。  This is why

it is often preferably to transfer someone who is recognized as

being of superior talent whenever a promotions is to take place。  (SR。)



'26' Law of May 11…15; 1791。



'27' Minutes of the meeting of the Electoral Assembly of the

Department of Indre…et…Loire (1791; printed)。



'28' De Ferrières; I。  367。



'29' Suzay; I; 191 (21;711 are eligible out of 32;288 inscribed

citizens)。



'30' Official report of the Electoral Assembly of the Department of

Indre…et…Loire; Aug。  27; 1791。  〃A member of the Assembly made a

motion that all the members composing it should be indemnified for

the expenses which would be incurred by their absence from home and

the long sojourn they had to make in the town where the Assembly was

held。  He remarked that the inhabitants of the country were those

who suffered the most; their labor being their sole riches; that if

no attention was paid to this demand; they would be obliged; in

spite of their patriotism; to withdraw and abandon their important

mission; that the electoral assemblies would then be deserted; or

would be composed of those whose resources permitted them to make

this sacrifice。〃



'31' Sauzay; I。  147; 192。



'32' For the detail of these figures; see vol。  II。  Book IV。



'33' De Ferrières; I。  367。  Cf。  The various laws above mentioned。



'34' Constant; 〃Histoire d'un Club Jacobin en Province〃

(Fontainebleau) p。15。  (Procés…verbaux of the founding of the clubs

of Moret; Thomery; Nemours; and Montereau。)



'35' Later to change and become socialist and communist parties

everywhere。  (SR。)



'36' Cf。  The Declaration of Independence; July 4; 1776 (except the

first phrase; which is a catchword thrown out for the European

philosophers)。 … Jefferson proposed a Declaration of Rights for the

Constitution of March 4; 1789; but it was refused。  They were

content to add to it the eleven amendments which set forth the

fundamental rights of the citizen。



'37' Article I。  〃Men are born and remain free and equal in rights

common to all。  Social distinctions are founded solely on public

utility。〃



  The first phrase condemns the hereditary royalty which is

sanctioned by the Constitution。  The second phrase can be used to

legitimate hereditary monarchy and an aristocracy。 … Articles 10 and

11 bear upon the manifestations of religious convictions and on

freedom of speech and of the press。  By virtue of these two articles

worship; speech; and the press may be made subject to the most

repressive restrictions; etc。



'38' The International Bill of Human Rights of 1948 is quite

different from the one approved in 1789。  In 1948 there is no more

any mention of any 〃right to resistance to oppression〃; there is a

softening of the position on the right of property and new rights;

to free education; to a country; to rest and leisure; to a high

standard of health and to an adequate standard of living have been

introduced。  (SR。)



'39' Stalin and his successors organized such a system of 〃clubs〃

world…wide which even today remain active as 〃protectors〃 of the

environment; refugees; prisoners; animals and the environment。

(SR。)



'40' Buchez and Roux ; XI。  237。  (Speech by Malouet in relation to

the revision; August 5; 1791。) 〃You constantly tempt the people with

sovereignty without giving them the immediate use of it。〃



'41' Decrees of September 25 … October 6; 1791; September 28 …

October 6; 1791。



'42' Impartial contemporaries; those well qualified to judge; agree

as to the absurdity of the Constitution。



〃The Constitution was a veritable monster。  There was too much of

monarchy in it for a republic; and too much of a republic for a

monarchy。  The King was a side…dish; un hors d'?uvre; everywhere

present in appearance but without any actual power。〃 (Dumont; 339。)



〃It is a general and almost universal conviction that this

Constitution is inexecutable。  The makers of it to a man condemn it。
