THE FRENCH CRISIS Argument Over Indo-China
Premier Decides To Stay
مرو
Paris, Mar. 19. Paul Ramadler, French Premier, called a mecl- ing of the "Inner Council” of six ministers, in- cluding the Communists, today to discuss the crisis arising from Communist abstention from the vote of confidence in the National Assembly this morning on the Government's Indo-China policy.
Normally, the abstention of the largest party in the Assembly which is also a member of the coalition government would result in the re- signation of the Premier and Cabinet but this is not expected at the moment.
