France in Crisis Describes Disinterest Decree Debate
In Paris on October 28 the National Convention debated a measure to bar members from public employment for six years to curb corruption. Proponents argued the need to show disinterestedness while critics warned of emigre plunder and the danger of collective ambition. The decree echoes earlier assembly concerns about officials leaving posts wealthier than when appointed. Future events will test the Convention's integrity.
