GRAVE OUTLOOK.
FRENCH SITUATION.
Crisis Developing Through Financial Difficulties.
BRITAIN MAY BE INVOLVED. United Press Association.—Copyright. (Received 1.30 p.m.) LOXDOX, March 3. A situation is developing in France as a result of financial difficulties that may have serious repercussions in international affairs, conceivably leading to disorders in the next few weeks.
The Australian Associated Press political correspondent understands that developments are arousing considerable concern in London, because Britain at present is so intimately bound up with France that she would be drawn into any crisis, which, moreover, might be a temptation to Herr Hitler.
The French are in a state of alarm and find their dilemma intensified because nobody is anxious to replace M. Blum, whose one chance of saving the situation may be a national appeal, hoping to rally the nation.
One of the few factors in his favour is that the army is at present very strong, and, it is believed, entirely unaffected by politics.
