PARIS, 19th June. Prior to M. Herriot's departure for London, the Chamber of Deputies passed a vote of confidence in the Government by 313 votes to 234.
The Socialist attitude to the Herriot Government was defined in a statement by M. Paul Faure in the Chamber. He stated that the Socialists will retain their independence, but will support the Government so long as the latter- remains true to its own principles. - M. Herriot - foreshadowed stringent financial retrenchment and rigorous collection of income tax, and declared that at present there was no question of a capital levy.
M. Deselves, who was Minister for the Interior in the Poincare Ministry, was elected President of the Senate by 151 votes to 134, against the Herriot candidate, M. Beinvenmartin.
