Excerpt from an address given by JosephBech (Luxembourg, inaugural session of the High Authority, 10 August 1952)
Aufgewachsen in einer politisch aktiven Familie, studierte Bech Rechtswissenschaften in Freiburg in der Schweiz und in Paris.
Seine durchaus erfolgreiche Regierung musste große wirtschaftliche (Weltwirtschaftskrise ab 1929) und soziale Probleme angehen, außenpolitisch gelang es ihm ab 1933 Distanz zum Hitlerregime in Deutschland zu halten, zu welchem Luxemburg sich durch seine exportorientierte Stahlindustrie in starker wirtschaftlicher Abhängigkeit befand.
Bestrebungen zur Errichtung eines undemokratischen Ständestaates in seiner eigenen Partei nachgebend, versuchte Bech 1936 ein Gesetz durchzubringen, welches die kommunistische Partei verboten hätte, womit er an einem Referendum scheiterte und als Staatsminister zurücktreten musste.
