Paris, To-day.

In view of the critical situation prevailing in the international political relationships the ques- tion commanding the public interest here at the moment is whether the Laval Government will succeed in weathering the storm of opposition, which seems every hour to grow more threaten- jing.

The People's Front met yesterday to prepare their plan of campaign, adopting the slogan: "Laval must fall, whatever hap- pens." The Socialists and Communists started an attack along these lines, whereupon the Radical-Socialist Party, which is nn- merically the strongest, declared that in view of the grave finan cial situation the present Government had the right to deal with the problems in question before the Chamber

Leon Blum, the Socialist chief, then declared that for On its 500th trip the Graf his party it was a matter of indifference whether a Government Zeppelin, owing to the insurrection of the Left or Centre followed, so long as M.

The whole capital is "Maffiking" on the strength of the official claim that the Italians are evacuating Makalle, and, in the absence of any news from the Italian side discrediting the re- port, the populace is now declaring that the Ita- lians realise that they have bitten off more than they can chew.

Meanwhile the Government circumstantially reports that 1,000 Italian troops garrisoned, at Makalle hurriedly evacuated the city on Tuesday with tanks, guns, stores, lorries and soldiers crowding the track back to Adigrat A captured native officer attributed the sudden Italian retreat to over-hastiness in the ad- vance, and the mistake in not clearing the surrounding country,
