Fernand Chapsal (10 March 1862 – 10 February 1939) was a French lawyer, administrator and politician who was Minister of Commerce in 1926 and in 1937–38, and Minister of Agriculture in 1938. ==Early years== Fernand Chapsal was born on 10 March 1862 in Limoges, Haute-Vienne. His family moved to Saintes, Charente-Maritime when his father was appointed principal of the college there. Chapsal obtained his secondary education in the Saintes college, then studied at the Faculty of Paris and became a Doctor of Law. Soon after he was appointed to the Audit Court of the Council of State. He was in turn Auditor, Master of Requests and Deputy-Commissioner to the Government for litigation. He published a treatise of the procedure before the Prefecture Councils. Chapsal was chief of staff of Louis Ricard, Minister of Justice in 1892 and 1898, and of Georges Trouillot, Minister of the Colonies in 1898. He also taught at the Paris Institute of Political Studies (Ecole des Sciences Politiques de Paris) and at the National Institute of Agronomy. He promoted the Mutual Credit of Agriculture (Crédit mutuel agricole). He was a member and then president of the French Exhibitions Committee, and was commissioner general of several of these events, including those of Liège (1905), Brussels (1910) and Berlin (1912). During World War I (1914–18) Chapsal was responsible for civil supplies. As of May 1915 Chapsal was a member of the inter-ministerial ''Comité de restriction des approvisionnements et du commerce de l'ennemi'', which looked into economic warfare possibilities. In 1916 Chapsal became interested in the possibility of obtaining meat from the neutral Netherlands. However, despite the advantage to France and corresponding loss to Germany, it was too late. All supplies had by now been committed to the British or Germans. For the results he achieved in the difficult civil supplies job Chapsal was given the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour in 1919. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fernand Chapsal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
