Paris, Feb. 6.

There have been scenes of violence in the streets of Paris this evening and thus far five persons have been wounded in fights between police and Communists.

A total of 1,200 Communists have been arrested. Many were armed with revolvers and some carried rags soaked in gasoline.

The Communists staged their demonstration in the Place de la Concorde and the Gare du St. Lazare, as an act of remembrance for their comrades who fought, and some of whom died, in the riots of 1934.

The gendarmes averted only Just in time a serious situation out- aide the Presidential Palace,

The question was asked in the Diet to-day as to whether Japan would build her Navy up to parity with that of the United States in the event of failure of the Naval Conference.

The Navy Minister replied that in such an eventuality Japan would make adequate readjust- menta in categories of the fleet for safeguarding the national de- fences.

The Minister added that the

In any event, he promised, Japan would not start any race of forti- fication or naval building in the Pacific-Reuter.

OF GOVERNMENT

London, Feb. 6.

Labour made an impressive gain to-day in the Wavertree by-election, caused by the succession of Mr. Ronald Nall-Cain (Conservative) to the Peerage.

The result of the poll was as follows:

Mr. Cleary (Labour)

Mr. Platt (Nat. Con.)

Mr. R. Churchill (Ind. Con.)

Mr. Morris (Liberal)

Labour majority

15,611

13,771

10,575

4,208

1,840

This is a considerable set-back to the Government, as apart from the Labour victory, Mr. Randolph Churchill, son of Mr. Winston Churchill, stood in opposition to the Government generally, and particular- ly on the India policy. The split in the Conservative vote shows a dangerous division of Conservative opinion on the vital questions of the day.-Reuter.

EFFECTS OF BY-ELECTION

The Wavertree by-election was called a "stunt" by the British press while the contestants were lighting thefr campaigns. Mr Randolph Churchill fought in the Lancashire constituency on the India issuo against Mr. D. Platt, the National Conserva tive. It was Mr. Churchill's first election battle, though he bad boon offered other constituenciea and had refused them on the advice of his father and political friends.

The by-election was considerad as a test of public opinion on the Government's India Schome and: Mr. Churchill was striking a blow "for the maintenance of Lanca shire's only surviving market.
