NAVAL CONFERENCE.
VOTES FOR FRENCH DEFENCES. OBJECTION MADE BY SOCIALISTS PAEIS, December 29. The Chamber of Deputies voted large sums for naval and land defence*, the former to conform to the fixed programme under which the whole navy will be rejuvenated by 1943. The Socialists and Communists challenged the expenditure on frontier defences, contending that they were out of harmony with Trance's pacific professions at Geneva and The Hague. M. Maginot retorted that Trance would be more willing to work for peace if it felt that its frontier were secure.
