PARIS, Dec. 5.

was made here to-day that

M. Edouard Daladier, the French Premier, will make a goodwill tour of Corsica and Tunis during the January recess of the French Chamber.

This planned journey is regarded in political circles as a reply to the irredentist outburst in the Italian Chamber last week.

A semi-official statement says that the French nation has identified itself with the demand put forward by Sunday's de- monstrations in Corsica and Tunisia calling upon the Govern- ment to safeguard at all costs the complete inviolability of all French territory.

At the same time, it is added that and Tunis during the Chamber's the French Premier has exhorted January reevsa, it is officiully un- the population of Corsica und Tunis nounced. to remain calin and cool-headed, and
