French Colonial Union in Action
French foreign policies in its colonies such as Africa remained a headline in French Colonial Union news namely due to Chailley-Bert’s persistence to keep the Union on top of France’s foreign affairs. By involving itself in these affairs and addressing various aspects of France’s colonies, like Africa or Algeria, the French Colonial Union was able to put its voice and influence on the issues. Basically by following the Union’s guidelines in order for France to prosper in the future, it was necessary that it invest considerable time, the appropriate funds and effort into its colonies if it were to obtain greater satisfaction with its colonies. This makes much sense, being that France would be more likely to fail with its colonies if it did not attempt to follow up the acquisitions with firm decisions and laws.

“In comparison to the French Revolution, the American Revolution has come to seem a parochial and rather dull event. This, despite the fact that the American Revolution was successful—realizing the purposes of the revolutionaries and establishing a durable political regime—while the French Revolution was a resounding failure, devouring its own children and leading to an imperial despotism, followed by an eventual restoration of the monarchy.”
—Irving Kristol (b. 1920)
“The North will at least preserve your flesh for you; Northerners are pale for good and all. There’s very little difference between a dead Swede and a young man who’s had a bad night. But the Colonial is full of maggots the day after he gets off the boat.”
—Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)
“The old ideals are dead as nails—nothing there. It seems to me there remains only this perfect union with a woman—sort of ultimate marriage—and there isn’t anything else.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“A thought which does not result in an action is nothing much, and an action which does not proceed from a thought is nothing at all.”
—Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)
