520			_aClément Vautel (1876–1954), the successful author of Mon Curé and the most popular newspaper columnist between the two world wars, is now forgotten. A conservative and xenophobe, known for his extreme antifeminism and the provocative tone of his writings, he met with considerable success to the point where he was considered the symbol of a kind of French wit and the archetype of the reactionary observer. During the 1930s, the economic crisis, political instability, and questions about the international situation led him to express increasingly caustic judgments. In his daily chronicle in Le Journal, like the famous demagogic man of common sense he claimed to be, he attacked foreigners, always suspected of self-interest and disloyalty and of trying to take advantage of others, and he systematically minimized the importance of the anti-Semitic persecutions in Nazi Germany. Thanks to a witty and moderate tone, Clément Vautel helped spread the most harmful aspects of anti-Semitism among the general public.
