Paris, Jan. 9. Having dropped M. Dalimier, the Minister for the Colonica, whose resignation was called for on account of the part he played in the Stawisky scandal-his letter of recommendation being used to advertise the fraudulent bonds-the Government is now striving to spike the guns of the opposition.
The first step was taken to-day in the preparation of plans for the introduction of a Bill prohibiting persons 'convicted of dishonesty from dealing in any way in stocks and shares under penalty up to two years' imprisonment.
The Bill will be Introduced in the Chamber on Thursday when the Opposition will launch its on- slaught on the Government in con- noxion with the Stawisky affair.
