Chiang Challenged
On Nanking Policy
Foreign Minister Yvon Delbos of
France frankly told the Chamber of
Deputies yesterday that the Brussels
Conference had failed in its efforts
to mediate the Chinese-Japanese
War.
From Moscow issued an order by
the commander of the Far Eastern
army declaring that Russia was pre-
pared to defend her Far Eastern
border against "the fascist block."
China's leaders at Nanking were
debating last nightwhether to de-
fend the capital at all costs or, by
voluntary withdrawal as the Jap-
anese approached, to save it from
destruction by warplanes and guns.
Paris
Defending the People's Front gov-
ernment's peace policy from com-
munist attack, Delbos declared the
Conference, even though failing in its
aim, had given concrete proof of the
union of France, Britain and the
United States against the diplomacy!
of "bayonets."
The French Foreign office con-
firmed the fact that Japan had re-
served the right to seize shipments
of arms to China frpm French Indo-
China after they crossed the border.
The use of the French railway into
Yunnan province has been barred to
transport of munitions for China.
Delbos told the deputies that a new
step to end the Oriental War must be
taken "at Geneva," but after leaving
the chamber changed the official)
record to read "at Brussels.",He ex-
plained thiat 'Geneva" was a slip'of
the tongue.
Diplomats said transfer of the
problem to Geneva was entirely pos-
sible if the Brussels Conference defi-'
nitely broke down. The Conference
is in recess until Monday. Should
the question of sanctions against
Japan arise at that time, Italy was
expected to bolt the meeting.

In Premier Chautemp's
Leftist Government
PARIS, Nov. 19.-(P)-The People's
Front Government was given an
overwhelming vote of confidence to-
night after Premier Camille Chau-
temps told the Chamber of Deputies
that investigation of secret revolu-
tionary societies had disclosed a sit-
uation of "terrible g'ravity."
The chamber gave the Govern-
ment a vote of 399 to 160 when
Chautemps concluded his speech in
which he pledged the cabinet to pre-
serve "republican order" at home
and defend peace abroad.
Armed mobile guards were sta-
tioned about Government buildings
as police struck at what authori-
ties believed to be a rightist revolu-
tionary committee organized to seize
power and apparently capable of
waging warfare on a nationwide
scale.
The Radical-Socialist Premier said

legislation to reinforce its swift ac-I

Large stores of arms and ammuni-
tion, including anti-aircraft, anti-
tank and even field guns, were dis-
covered by police in a series of raids
throughout the country. The Gov-
ernment was making every effort to
uncover the financial and political
'backers of the organization.
