Peace Proposal Criticism

· (Special to the “Hong Kong Daly Prem" (Copyright)]

Paris, Dec. 17.

After Evely session In the course of which the Laval-Boure Fence Schemė- was "subjected to trenchant criticisms by the Left Wing orators, Premier Laval once more emerged with flying colours when the Sacitilat motion to fix. December 20 as the date for a de- bate on the foreign political 'qués- tion-instead of December 27 sa suggested by the Premier-was de- feated in Chamber by 308 votes to 253 on Tuesday afternoon, after Laval had put the question` of confidence.

In the course of the debate the Socialist, M. Lear's Blum, led the attack, while M. Pierre Cot, lea- der of the Radical Socialistic Party's left wing, strongly sup- ported the Socialist's motion.

Laval stressed in a short rejoin- der that he would not got to Ge- neval under humiliating circum- stances. If his opponents con- sidered his policy to be dangerous. they should take their choice at once and not wait till December '27... The Premier, also took the opportunity "of refuting the rumour that Britain had promised Italy a loan in case the latter should ge- cept the peace proposals.

It was announced subsequently that Mr. Anthony Eden had left London for Geneva on Tuesday afternoon. According to press re- instructions ports he was given that the Paris Proposals were not to be violated and that "the Bri- fish Government would leave it to the League of Nations to decide its fate.
