BLOOD FLOWS. FREELY'
Paris, February 7. " Blood flowed freely In Faris yesterday evening when "riot- ing mobs surged towards the Chamber of deputies as the Daladier Government, in one of the most exciting political fights In the history of France, battled its way to victory by gain- ing a vote of "confidence.
Kloting began at dusk, when the crowds who were utterly beyond control, overwhelmed the police stationed in the Place de la Concorde and wrecked the kiosks and tobacco shops and set fire to motor-buses and private ears.
MANY CASUALTIES REPORTED
Many casualties are reported, in-, ed when the police were compelled cluding one woman, who was kill

Seven people have been killed and 400 injured in the Paris de

The Chamber of Deputies last night passed a vote of confidence in the Daladier Government by
300 votes to 217.
Two batallions of French infan ty, dressed in horizon blue, were stationed in front of the cham- ber of Depties, at 11 o'clock, lasi alght. The troops were given ra- tions, and apparently ordered to remain on duty all night.

POLITICAL TEMPERATURE AT FEVER POINT
[Special to the "Hong Kong Dally Press (Copyright. JI
Paris, Feb. 6.
With political temperature at fever paint Premier Daladier faced' the Chamber on Tuesday after- noon to make his bid for a vote of confidence and public approval of the most thorough administra- tive house cleaning which the Third Republic has known since. the Panama scandal The Premier lost до time in challenging the Chamber by staking the fate of his Cabinet on the motion that all in- terpellations except those by the deputies Dommage, Ybarbegary, and Franklin Bouillon, as well as. that by Communist party be post- poned. The daring move proved successful as the Chamber quiesced in the motion by 300 votes to 317, the first.round thus going to the Government.
ac-
In the opening passage of his ministerial declaration the Premier. concisely summarized the situation produced by the Stavisky scandal by, saying "It is one month since a scandal which has arisen from some individual fallings, has paralysed the work of the Cham- ber, intensifed political strife, de- moralised the whole country, and given the apponents of the present regime the welcome opportunity to renew the attacks which in the past have been folled by the vigil- ance of the Republicans."
Daladier appealed to the House not to waste time in waiting for further scandals and rumours to be exploited, but to resume the work of solving the most pressing problems, such as passing the bad- zet and affording protection to small depositors. In conclusion the Premier touched shortly on the in- France's foreign Policy could be ternational situation stressing that summarised in a few words, name- ly Internatiofial co-operation and national defence, faith in the Lea gue of Nations and in France's tried and true friends.
