was

The French Premier, M. Mendes-France, whose Government defeated on the Indo-China budget earlier tonight, was, in the words of political observers, "down but not out". He made a quick recovery to get the National Assembly to agree to immediate reconsideration of the controversial budget by a vote of 298 to. 289.

But the Premier's appeal for reconsideration of the budget met with only a qualified response,

The new version of the Indo-China budget, which the Government submitted following the Assembly'e rejection of the original budget yesterday, was turned down after only 40 minutes' consideration by the Finance Commission early today.

The Assembly, therefore started the debate on the new Indo-China budget with an unfavourable recommendation from the Finance Commission. This did not mean the Assembly would necessarily vote against the budget at the end of the

debate.

The Prime Minister, it was understood, might make the adoption of this budget a matter of confidence. If he did the vote would be postponed. until after midnight Saturday,
