About this person
After a period of uneasy co-operation with "Stalinists" on the Saigon paper La Lutte, he triumphed over the Communists in the 1939 elections to the Cochinchina Colonial Council on a platform that called for radical land reform and workers' control, and for opposition to defense collaboration with the French authorities. He was executed by the Stalinist Viet Minh in September 1945.
