Winston Churchill, 'France Faces A New Crisis' (19 February 1937), quoted in Winston Churchill, Step by Step, 1936–1939 (1939; 1947), pp. 95-96
“
In all this rallying of the forces which stand for peaceful and tolerant solutions of world problems, M. Blum has rendered a high personal service. Indeed, it was not in the power of any other Frenchman at this particularly juncture in the life of France or of Europe to do so much for the common good.
