Mob How se & 7 8 * isfor AT CHAMBER DOORS ee a |Daladier Stalls for Time BY FULTON THATCHER GRANT CHAPTER ELEVEN PART I It is a natural thing to wonder what |. was taking place in the Chamber : while lead spattered and blood ran in the streets of the nation’s capital. ‘With what faces did Daladier, Frot, Cot and the other members of that ill-omened team stand before the men elected by Frenchmen to make French laws and to represent the Citizens of the Third Republic. What were their feces? What was their reception? ‘This was to be the test of the new government. Daladier’s Wusiness was) to outline his plan of action .. . “Vite et fort!” ... and to demand the vote of confidence. In what atmosphere? That session of the Chamber of Deputies will never be forgotten by anyone who was present. The wolves " were howling at the door; the mob “in the street was crying the Deputies down, calling for their adjournment, calling for their death. The fuse of revolutionary explosive had been lighted and every man knew it. Would ‘the guards, the soldiery, the special police be able to kecp that crowd ‘back from the Palais Bourbon? Or would that session be broken by the , mob and those Deputies slaughtered in their own arena, their bodies left bleeding and lifeless cn their tri- bunes? It was a terrible evening. At three in the afternoon of Bloody ‘Tuesday, the Deputies of France filed in and took their places in the hemi- cycle. Party feeling and party divi- sions could be read on their faces. ‘The Neo-Socialists, who had refused to join their former colleagues (under Blum’s leadership) in backing this , Judas-directed government, seemed to radiate the relief they felt. They had little responsibility in whatever might happen. The Right and Center men ‘were impatient for battle. The Rad- ; teals and Communists likewise ... on their own side. Daladier comes in. He mounts the presidential platform and talks briefly with Fernand Buisson. He nods to His lips form a vague smile. Frot is cheered wildly on his entrance by the Socialist faction. Daladier is ennoyed at this demorstration. He considers it out of place and danger- ous. There is tension. There is trouble in the air. ‘The presidential bell sounds. A mo- ment of hush. The presidential mes- sage is read briefly. Daladier reads} his ministerial pledge. The Left ap- >plauds wildly, while on the benches of the opposition there is murmuring. Catcalls. Jeers. President-of-the-Chamber Fernand Buisson scents trouble. He will take ‘action. He suspends the session. During this intermission the Left sings the Internationale. “Les Soviets! Les Soviets!” they cry “Cheers for the Soviets!” But Daladier, who is going to fin- ish his declaration at all costs, re- mains in the tribune, erect, waiting, {mposing. Finally there is more quiet und Buisson reopens the session. Daladier Begins Intrigue “Since this session might last sev- eral days if the government listens to all the interpellations and discus- sions,” he says, with a certain irony, | “I demand of the president that we hear only Messrs. Ybarnegaray, Dom- mange and a Communist delegate. I demand that all other interpellations be retired to the end of the session, and in the. time that the ques- tion of confi be posed at the end of the first. discussions,” Bedlam breaks loose. orship?

Henry Haye to his feet, shaking with rage, overcome with emotion like ar. inspired Negro at a jubilee. “We will not be overruled. We will have our rights...” Conspuez les Deputes! Politiciens egoistes! Daladier Becomes Furious Daladier ts furious. “All right, if you take that attitude, here is my answer. I demand that all interpellations be ruled out and advanced. I will listen to none of them, then. Let the chamber vote!” Aux arms, Citoyens! Formez vos battaillons! Andre Tardieu, solemn and pale and hard of face and conscious of his vast, unspoken, unsounded importance, arises to mediate. Mediate! The Chamber roars him down. Again the Mareeiliaise outside, the Communist deputies lift up the Internationale. Men scream at one another across the huge assembly hall, gesticulate, call- ing out insults, oaths. Fernand Buis- son lifts his hand, suspends the ses- {sion once more and withdraws from his presidential seat. A bas les parlementaires. parlementaires! ‘The cries outside are louder.

Leon Blum again gets the floor, but while he is speaking a message from outside warns Daladier that the menacing, hewling crowd in the stveets is burst- ing through wave after wave of guards and pressing very near to the Chamber. Daladier turns white. Buisson calls for his overcoat. Dala- dier departs from the Chamber. He returns in half an hour. Meanwhile Blum’s oily irony has been felt. “My Socialists, gentlemen, are still Quite ready to take over the duties of the government if the present min- speech, of inte! Franklin Bouillon refuses. He de- mands that Blum, Frossard and Haye be heard also, Henry Haye jumps to his feet and accuses Daladier of Fascism. At this the Right and Cen- ter smile, the Left are in a rage. A vote is taken. Daladier’s demand is supported after all. Haye on his feet again: “Vite et fort—quickly and strongly —you have taken as your ministry's slogan. You are certainly going at high speed, and I want to point out that you are going a bit too strongly. My intention was to interpellate you on your evident cowardice in certain decisions, And now to circumvent me you have inaugurated of Fascism you claim be oppos- ing... The Chamber is a madhouse. The word “Fascism” has a magic quality ci kindling the flames cf trouble. But Leon Blum, the weasel of the Cham- ber, stands up and lifts his smooth, ironical voice. : “Gentlemen, gentlemen, obviously the Chamber cannot listen to the sev- enteen interpellations on demand.

M. Foster, H. P. Hill and J. V. Archer. Hearing will be before H. R. Bonny, justice of the peace, sometime this week, according to Sheriff J. L. Kel illey. Approximately $8,000 worth of stolen clothing was recovered at Cheyenne, Wyo., and Gering, Neb. It was ship- ped to Bismarck where it will be used as evidence at the hearing. Several other cities in the state, in- cluding Minot, Fargo, Devils Lake and Mandan, sought the operators of the “ring.” After the clothing was stolen, 1% was shipped to southern points and is was through an attempt to have the goods trans-shipped from Gering to Cheyenne that the thefts were traced, leading to the arrests. At a hearing Saturday morning the governor of Wyoming signed extradi- tion papers. The men waived their right to a habeas corpus procedure and began the trip to Bismarck in company with Kelley, Chief of Po- Chris Martineson and Acting States Attorney J. A. Hyland. Four other men and one woman had been arrested by the Cheyenne police but they were reieased for lack Of sufficient evidence. | with this goes the program for buying THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE.

WORK MAY PAY FOR ITSELF So irrigation it is, and a big start has already been made at the $63,- 000,000 Grand Coulee project under direction of the Bureau of Reclama- tion. It is hoped that this work will eventually pay for itself through sales of power to industries and farm- ers expected to move into the valley. The president will find more than 3000 men at work where they have been for months excavating and strip- ping the site of the dam. Soon that number will rise to near!y 10,000 men, tor contracts for actuai construction of the dam have been let to three companies at about $30.000,000. At present the dam will be built only 145 feet high, and the first power units installed will generate less than 500,000 horsepower. But the construc- largest power plant yet built or pro- | posed.
