CRISIS IN FRANCE
PRECARIOUS POLITICS disorder in parliament &V Cable.—Press Association. —Copyright LONDON, Saturday. The Paris correspondent of “The Times” reports that at an all-night sitting the Chamber of Deputies discussed electoral reform. The proceedings were marked by a revival of frenzied disorder and futile obstruction, such as disgusted the country during the financial debates of 1926. A fight is now raging around a proposal for a single-member constituency. This the Conservatives bitterly oppose. They twice forced a division _ ballot. This occupied an hour. Four times a deputy demanded an sojournment and made a lengthy speech in so doing. When the discussion was resumed similar tactics Wer e adopted. As a result the Government is apparently losing force. The Premier, r l, Poincare, will risk losing the supPprt of the Radicals if he agrees to »h Conservatives’ demand to scrap if k s * ng l e ' mer nber constituency, and he does not agree he will lose the 'conservative vote. in either case the Coalition is in a ost precarious position.—Times.
