NO WEAKENING.

SHOCK OF CRISIS. France Determined As Ever To Prosecute The War. RESOLVED OK VICTORY. (Received noon.) PARIS, March 20. M. Daladier told a meeting of adieal-Socialist Senators and deputies that he would reoecupy his eat in the party -bench and exert his nergies for the defence of the eooji,ry. The meeting passed a resoluion of confidence in JL Daladier. Recovering from the dramatic impact •f the crieie, the public haa recognised hat it doea not indicate weakening of the nation's will for victory. On the contrary, it is interpreted as a sign of the general demand for a more energetic conduct of the war. The writer of a vigorous article in "L'lntransigeant" asks why M. Daladier, who was undoubtedly popular and commanded a big following in Parliament, lost his power overnight. "The ■lnswer is," thk» writer states, "the Finnish affair, which has aroused the •lililie because Finland's defeat seemed iur defeat. It is no good having new 'Tien unless they bring a new policy. "The new Government must adopt Olemenceau's four-word policy, M Je faj& la guerre" ("I make the war"), which Ims often been quoted but seldom applied in the last eiz months.
