THE FIRST TRICK
FRENCH PARLIAMENT
EASY WIN FOR LAVAL
AIMS OF FIERY CROSS
Untied Press Association— Uy Electric Telegraph—Copyright. PARIS, November 28. Following the opening of Parliament, the Premier, M. Laval, easily won the first trick when he secured a majority of 120 on a question of procedure, but it is unsafe to assume that this' means more than a short life for the Government. Members welcomed an early adjournment, having seen a new Bank of Franoe return showing that another £18,000,000 worth of gold left the country last week. The Bourse, however, showed a sharp rally in State securities. Colonel de la Rocque, head of the Fiery Cross, denied the alleged plots to seize power, and said that the movement was essentially orderly and was called Fascist only by its opponents. "What we want is a strong State ] serving the public interests, and a clean ' Parliament without corruption," he added.
