Contrary to the CHATEAU FAUCONNIERE operation, URIAGE
was a major establishment which employed up to 50 person-staff and had
financial resources from the Vichy government of up to two million francs.
As HELLMAN put it, the students were expected to not only be neat but
“elegant” so that the effect was to give the impression of being
“simultaneously romantic, military, and monastic.”
At the beginning of the Vichy regime in 1940, the Revue {ESPRIT}
had become, under EMMANUEL MOUNIER, the most prominent
publication for the French youth and had become the main propaganda outlet
of MARSHAL PETAIN. The doctrine of {ESPRIT} was based on three
main orientations of the {national revolution}, that is 1) anti-democratic
views of {ACTION FRANCAISE} against the THIRD REPUBLIC, 2)
Catholic personalism, and 3) corporatist economics. PETAIN had totally
endorsed MOUNIER'S {personalism}. PETAIN wrote: "Individualism is
what almost killed us…Individualism has nothing in common with respect
for the human person…The French school of tomorrow will teach respect
for the human person, the family, society, {la patrie}." (JOHN
LAUGHLAND, Op. Cit. p.66)
Though HELLMAN pretended he did not believe it, he wrote: “Under
a cloak of patriotism, they [the teachers of URIAGE] could be seen as trying
to re-establish the hegemony of those bourgeois and aristocratic Catholic
families who had been shut out of power and influence during the Third
Republic (and it is true that there was a remarkable frequency of the “de”
particle among the {chefs} and lecturers at the school).” (p.29)
From the beginning, the aim of the ECOLE NATIONALE DES
CADRES D’URIAGE was “that all men occupying whatever post of
command in the society, whether civil servants or engineers, professors or
lawyers, take a course at Uriage.” However, the entire orientation had to be
a regurgitation of ACTION FRANCAISE, under a twisted form of ACTION
CATHOLIQUE which was called the JEUNESSE OUVRIERE
CATHOLIQUE (JOC). Contrary to the JOC in Belgium and in Quebec
during those years, the French JOC was top down controlled by the
romanticism and mysticism of PIUS X fascists such as MSGR. EMILE
GUERRY. HELLMAN reported: “A series of lectures to the “Lyautey” class
by the well known Catholic labor leader, Marcel Montcel (national president
of the JOC [Young Christian Workers] from 1937) were on ‘La psychologie
ouvriere’ (The worker’s mind). They, too, reflected an attempt by Catholics
