Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

'''Camille Chautemps''' (1 February 1885 – 1 July 1963) was a French [[Radicalism (historical)|Radical]] politician of the [[French Third Republic|Third Republic]], three times [[Prime Minister of France|President of the Council of Ministers]] (Prime Minister).

He was the father-in-law of U.S. politician and statesman [[Howard J. Samuels]].

==Early life==
Born into a family of Radical politicians, Camille Chautemps was a lawyer by training and a noted amateur rugby-player in his youth, playing for Tours Rugby and [[Stade Français]]. He was inducted into the [[Grand Orient of France]] (1906, master 1908),<ref>Dictionnaire universel de la Franc-Maçonnerie
 by Monique Cara and Jean-Marc Cara and Marc de Jode (ed. Larousse, 2011)</ref> quitting the [[Freemasonry|Freemasons]] in August 1940 as anti-masonic regulation was adopted by Pétain.

==Early career==
He entered local politics in the fiefdom of his parliamentarian uncle, Alphonse Chautemps, and followed a political career path typical of many Radical-Socialists:  first elected town councillor for Tours (1912), then mayor (1919–25), parliamentary deputy (1919–34) and senator (1934–40). Chautemps was considered one of the chief figures of the 'right' (anti-socialist and pro-liberal) wing of the centre-left [[Radical-Socialist Party (France)|Radical-Socialist Party]]. Between 1924 and 1926, he served in the centre-left [[coalition government]]s of [[Édouard Herriot]], [[Paul Painlevé]] and [[Aristide Briand]].

===Twice prime minister===
Renowned as a skilful negotiator with friends from across the party divide, he was called upon on several occasions to attempt to build support for a coalition of the centre-left. He first became President of the Council for a short-lived government in 1930. After the electoral victory of the left in 1934, he served as [[List of Interior Ministers of France|Interior Minister]] and became head of government once more in November 1933. The revelations of the [[Stavisky Affair]], a corruption scandal, tarnished two of his ministers, sparking violent protests by the [[far-right leagues]]. He resigned his posts on 27 January 1934, when the opposition press attributed Stavisky's suicide to a government cover-up.<ref>Williams, 2005, p.259.</ref>

===Deputy Prime minister and last premiership===
In [[Léon Blum]]'s [[Popular Front (France)|Popular Front]] government of 1936, Chautemps represented the Radical-Socialist Party as a [[Minister of State]] and succeeded Blum at the head of the government from June 1937 to March 1938. The franc was devalued, but government finances remained in difficulty.<ref>Griffiths, Richard, ''Pétain'', Constable, London, 1970, p.p.197, ((ISBN|0-09-455740-3))</ref> Pursuing the program of the Popular Front, he proceeded in the [[nationalisation]] of the railroads to create the [[SNCF]]. However, in January 1938, he formed a new government consisting solely of ministers from the nonsocialist [[radicalism (historical)|republican centre- left]].<ref>Griffiths, 1970, p.197.</ref> In February, he granted married women financial and legal independence (until then, wives had been dependent on their husbands to take action involving family finances) and allowed them to go to university and to open bank accounts. His government also repealed Article 213 of the code: "the husband owes protection to his wife, the wife obedience to the husband". However, the husband remained "head of the household" with "the right to choose the household’s place of residence".<ref>[France since 1870: Culture, Politics and Society by Charles Sowerine]</ref> His government fell on 10 March.<ref>Griffiths, 1970, p.197.</ref>

===Runup to World War II===
Chautemps subsequently served from April 1938 to May 1940 as deputy prime minister in the governments of [[Édouard Daladier]] and [[Paul Reynaud]]. After the latter resigned, as he was again deputy prime minister, now to Marshal [[Philippe Pétain]].

==World War II==
France declared war on Germany in September 1939, and in May 1940, the German Army invaded and swept aside all opposition. With the fall of Dunkirk on 5 June and the defeat of the French Army imminent, Chautemps, dined with [[Paul Baudouin]] on the 8th, and declared that the war must be ended and that Pétain saw his position most clearly.<ref>Griffiths, 1970, p.231.</ref> On the 11th, during a Cabinet meeting, Chautemps suggested for Churchill to be invited back to France to discuss the hopeless situation; he attended a conference at Tours on 13 June.<ref>Griffiths, 1970, p.235.</ref> The Cabinet met again on the 15th and was almost evenly split on the question of an armistice with Germany. Chautemps now suggested that to break the deadlock, that they should get a neutral authority to enquire what the German terms would be, which if honourable, the Cabinet could agree to study. If not, the Cabinet would agree to fight on. The Chautemps proposal passed by 13 to 6.<ref>Griffiths, 1970, p.237.</ref>

On 16 June, [[Charles de Gaulle]], now in London, telephoned Reynaud to give him the British government's offer of joint nationality for French and British in a Franco-British union. A delighted Reynaud put it to a stormy Cabinet meeting and was supported by five of his ministers. Most of the others were persuaded against him by the arguments of Pétain, Chautemps and [[Jean Ybarnégaray]], the last two seeing the offer as a device to make France subservient to Britain as an extra dominion. [[Georges Mandel]], who had a Jewish background,<ref>Webster, Paul, ''Pétain's Crime'', Pan Macmillan, London, 1990, p.40, ((ISBN|0-333-57301-3))</ref> was flinging accusations of cowardice around the room, and Chautemps and others replied in kind. Reynaud clearly would not accept Chautemps's proposal and later resigned.<ref>Griffiths, 1970, p.239.</ref>

==Later life==
On 10 July 1940, Chautemps voted as a Senator in favour of granting the cabinet presided by Marshal [[Philippe Pétain]] authority to draw up a new constitution, thereby effectively ending the [[French Third Republic]] and establishing [[Vichy France]]. However, Chautemps broke with Pétain's government after he had arrived in the United States on an official mission and lived there for much of the rest of his life. After [[World War II]], a French court convicted him ''in absentia'' for collaborating with the enemy;<ref>[http://www.britannica.com/ebc/article-9360438 Encyclopædia Britannica]</ref> he was amnestied in 1954.

After his death in [[Washington, DC]], he was laid to rest in the [[Rock Creek Cemetery]].
