Budget Estimates Meet With
Severe Obstruction
DALADIER'S VISIT TO CORSICA THREATENED
PARIS, Jan. 1.
IN a special session this morning, the French Chamber passed the third reading of the budget estimates for 1939 by 372 votes to 229, following persistent attempts by the Socialist and Communist opposition at obstruction, directed chiefly at the French Premier, who at one part of the debate, found himself obliged to declare that he would put off his journey to Tunis until the Chamber had passed the budget.
Even so, owing to the tactics of the Left-Wing opposition, Premier Daladier had to defer his departure from Paris until mid-day. It had been his original intention to leave at 9 o'clock in the morning.
were
The trouble started when, in accordance with Parliamentary procedure the budget estimates submitted for final examination to the Chamber's Finance Committee on Saturday evening. The Communist De- puties adopted the tactics of delivering endless speeches so that the deliberations lasted all night, and were still in progress at 7.46 am, on Sunday.
