Britain and France had carried out conversations
to harmonise their policies in all fields.

CATEGORICAL “NO”
The Premier, M. Edouard Dala- dier, declared that any policy of withdrawal for France would be disastrous.
Wherever there were French in- terests, France must reply by a categorical "nó” to demands.
"France" wishes to have peace with her neighbours, and she turns especially towards the great Anglo- Saxon communities who have given their word to be at our side.
There is-Great Britain, whose friendship is precious, and the United States, whose President ad- dressed us words which touched our hearts.”
The Chamber passed a vote of confidence in the Government by 864 votes to 282. — Reuter.
