Premier turn against the when this most important issue comes up for decision.
This will depend to a great ex- tent on the position taken by in- dividual Right Wing. groups.
In addition to M. Daladier, one of the main speakers at last night's session was M. Leon Blum, who tumult stirred the Chamber to when he charged the Government with destruction of the Popular Front, and attacked M. Daladier's financial policy.
In answer to his' question "Who was responsible for the collapse of the Popular Front?" the Right Wing deputies rose in a body and shouted "You," following which deputies on both sides demonstrat- ed loudly for several minutes.

The President of the Chamber, M. Herriot, left the Chamber, and M. Blum stepped down from the speaker's stand.
It was not for several minutes that the session could be resumed. -Trans-Ocean.
