Maurice Schumann

Article Abstract:

Writer and politician Maurice Schumann was an active member of Jeune Republique, a small Christian Democratic group, before the second world war. He wrote many articles for the Christian Democrat newspaper L'Aube, and was its political editor between 1944 and 1951. He had been a journalist in London, England, between 1933 and 1935, and this led to his involvement with radio broadcasts to occupied France during the second world war. He played a key role in the 1946 campaign to establish a two-chamber parliament.
