were also attempting to gain control of the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey and its affiliates in Algiers, North Africa. The Laval Bank in Algiers
was competing with the {Banque Worms} in Algiers. One example of the
fight between the {Banque Worms} and the B.N.C.I. was the incident in
which, in June 1942, Ford Afrique transferred nearly 4 million francs from
its account at the B.N.C.I. to its other account at Worms & Cie, in Algiers.
Sacks reports: "B.N.C.I. (Afrique) felt aggrieved at the loss and protested
unsuccessfully. In the granting of pro-Vichy and pro-German banks, the
incident would establish the B.N.C.I. (Afrique) as second only to Worms &
Cie." (p. 35) This reflected the internal fighting going on between what
historian Richard Kuisel had called the fight between the "technicians" and
the "ultras," that is, between the fascist Left and the fascist Right. This is
also a turning point in the war. Hitler had just put Laval back into power, in
April of 1942. In June of the same year, Charles de Gaulle and the
organization of the French Resistance signed the {French Charter} accord.
3.2 HOW PIERRE LAVAL CAME TO POWER
Pierre Laval was born on June 28, 1883 at Chateldon, Auvergne. He
first entered into politics in 1914, winning a socialist deputy seat as a
member of the Second International, called Section Francaise de
l'Internationale Ouvriere (S.F.I.O.) Party. Claiming to be a pacifist, he
claimed parliamentary exemption during the First World War. He had
endorsed the Russian Revolution of 1917 with enthusiasm, until suddenly by
1920, he went from the extreme Left to the extreme Right. That was
probably when Laval was recruited into the synarchy. After he became
mayor of Aubervilliers, a working class suburb of Paris, Laval began to flirt
with big business, and bankers during the mid 1920's, when he began to
amass a little fortune. In 1926, he served in three cabinets of Pan European
synarchist Coudenhove Kalergi's associate, Aristide Briand. Then, Laval
was elected to the Senate in 1927.
Laval then joined two governments of conservative President Andre
Pierre Tardieu, in 1930, and became President of the Council in 1931, and
again in 1935-36. Laval began to make important changes in foreign policy
during his tenure as Foreign Minister and Premier in the mid-thirties. He was
initially committed to isolate Germany by creating a rapprochement with
