XCVII. The Short Story about reading historical books

Edouard Daladier has closed the book. "Today's visit into cafe-library is complete".

Maxim Gorky has approached him:

- Respected mister Daladier, you couldn't have a talk a several minutes with our readers?

- I have five minutes.

Visitors of library have surrounded Edouard Daladier.

- What thoughts from the books read today have paid your attention to themselves, mister Daladier?

- I read historical books. What subjects can be interesting to me, the participant of World War I, the politician of the first half and the middle of the 20th century? On August 3-4, 1914 Great Britain has entered world war. When on August 7 jars were opened, panic hasn't arisen; the slogan has prevailed: "affairs go, as always"". "In 1914 only two machine guns were in the battalion [in the British army]. ... the Minister of War [Herbert Kitchener] has uttered: on battalion not less than two machine guns and no more than four are necessary; everything that over such norm - luxury."

- I quote David Lloyd George's biography written by Kirill Vinogradov, - Edouard Daladier has explained. Also he have continued:

- "The deadlock on the Western front, the Romania defeat (this country was involved in war on the party of the Entente thanks to efforts of England and France), the revolutionary fermentation within the country, amplified - all this forced the mighty of this world to become thoughtful. Some of them became on the way of search ... the peace. The Tory's old figure Lensdaun has addressed with the confidential memorandum to members of the cabinet, suggesting to begin negotiations with Germany. [Minister] Gray who since 1915 held in hand of thread of confidential communications with Berlin also began to incline to the same point of view".

"Lloyd George who was once ranked as pacifists, now was considered as the adherent of the slogan "the absolute war". He really in the sharpest expressions spoke publicly against the "bastardish" world."
