M. Ravary.--“If I had desired to invoke Article 378, I need not have
said anything. I could have pleaded professional secrecy.”
M. Clemenceau.--“But, since you did not invoke it, you are at liberty
to speak.”
M. Labori.--“I say that Major Ravary must either observe professional
secrecy, or not observe it. In saying that there are many other
charges, he does not observe professional secrecy. I am not in favor
of closed doors or professional secrecy, but, since Major Ravary has
already violated professional secrecy, he may well tell us of the other
charges against Colonel Picquart.”
