Paris, To-day. Although M. Laval had been expected to fearry the day when the Chamber was required to vote on the motion of confidence yesterday after- noon, immense relief was felt that the majority for the Government was so substantial, since the fall of the Government at this juncture or even a bare majority would certainly have been follow- ed by a crisis of unusual seriousness.

At 450 pm the President announced that of the 570 votes cast. 345 were for the Government and 225 against. This emin ently satisfactory result was due to the attitude taken by the Radical Socialist party, the largest and most powerful in the Chamber, which had been solemnly warned by its chairman, M. Herrict, of the conséquences that would have to be faced if M. Laval were overthrown

*

· M. Herriot explained to his followers that in that case there would be three contingencies possible: the formation of a Góv-
