NO COMPROMISE
PREMIER INSISTS ON ALL OR NOTHING.
(AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZBALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) PARIS. 15th March. The Poincare Government has cleared its first and most difficult hurdle in connection with the Finance 'Bill, the Senate having rejected its own Finance Committee's amendment to Article 1 by 154 votes to 141. Subsequently the Senate adopted this article by 161 votes to 128. . The article temporarily delegates Parliamentary authority to the Government, more particularly regarding the issue of decrees to carry out reductions in expenditure. The President of the Finance Committee, before voting, suggested a compromise in order that M. Poincaro might retain office, but the Premier rejected the compromise, and insisted on the adoption of the Government's text as a vote of confidence. 11. Poiuearo told the Finance Commission of the Senate that, if the Commission did not agree to the full text of the Fiscal Reform Bill very shortly, he -would place the resignation of the Cabinet in the hands of the President.
