The general debate was formally opened by the Finance Minister, M. Maurice Petsche, but apart from an appeal by the Premier, M. Georges Bidault, not to provoke another political crisis, the debate was adjourned until the Government has been able to put fresh economy proposals before the recalcitrant Finance Commission of the As- sembly.
