Caillaux, Joseph (-Marie-Auguste)

Caillaux, Joseph (-Marie-Auguste)
born March 30, 1863, Le Mans, France
died Nov. 22, 1944, Mamers

French politician.

Serving several times as minister of finance, he was an early but unsuccessful advocate of a national income tax. He was named premier in 1911 but was forced to resign after negotiating a controversial treaty with Germany over the second of the Moroccan crises. Later his opposition to World War I and friendship with German agents led to conviction on charges of corresponding with the enemy. Granted amnesty in 1924, he was later elected to the Senate and became head of the Commission of Finance (1927–40).
