WORKERS BLAMED.
GIST OF PREMIER’S SPEECH. Received January 15, 8.5 a.m. LONDON, Jan. 14. The Paris correspondent of the Manchester. Guardian declares that M. Chautemps seemed to go out of his way to provoke the Socialists and render the continuance of the Popular Front impossible. He did not mention the refusal of the employers’ federation to participate in drafting a new labour code, which precipitated an immediate crisis, or the determined campaign to overthrow the Government by financial pr/essure. • On the contrary, he attacked the workers on whom he placed the sole blame. At the conclusion of the Premier s speech the only question in the lobbies was: “Can the Socialists swallow this?” for it was obvious that the Communists! could not. Nevertheless,
the Socialists have decided to support the Government.
