Offices and work

The lawyer Joseph Noulens represented the Gers department from 1902 to 1919 as a member of parliament and from 1920 to 1924 as a senator. In the winter of 1911 he was State Secretary in the Ministry of War in the government of Aristide Briand . From 1913 to 1920, Noulens served as minister - for a few months each - in three governments. As a representative of the left-wing Parti radical , he was Minister of War in the Gaston Doumergue cabinet in the first half of 1914, Minister of Finance in the René Viviani cabinet in the summer of 1914 and Minister of Agriculture and Food in the Georges Clemenceau cabinet in the second half of 1919 .

After the February Revolution of 1917 Joseph Noulens was established in May in succession to Maurice Paleologue of Alexandre Ribot as Ambassador of France to Petrograd sent. At the beginning of December - shortly after the October Revolution - sent by Clemenceau - he spoke only once with Leon Trotsky , one of the rulers of Soviet Russia at the time . There was no rapprochement in the conversation. This concession was probably not wanted by either side.
