CONFLICTING EVIDENCE

Paris, To-day.

The idea of a "Red plot" which was the press interpretation of the statements made by the for- |- mer Prefect of Police in Paris, M. Chiappe, on Thursday, when giving evidence before the In- quiry Commission investigating the February riots, was scouted by M. Daladier, when giving evidence before the Commission yesterday.

He declare that there was never any question of a plot by M. Frot.

M. Chiappe, M. Daladier stated, mentioned to him that M. Frot. who was Minister for Interior in the Daladier Cabinet, intended to form a Government himself, but that was a legitimate ambition.

Dealing with the circumstances of M. Chiappe's removal from the Prefecture of Police, M. Daladier said that after a study of the Stavisky dossier he found nothing to smirch M. Chlappe's per- sonal probily, but found a lack of activity which would have per- mitted the arrest of Stavisky in 1931, or anyhow," "fa. 1933, and he concluded thas new blood was necessary,
