LONDON, March 3
The situation developing in France as a result of financial difficulties may have serious repercussions on the international situation, conceivably leading to disorders in the next few weeks.
The political correspondent of the Australian Associated Press agency understands that the developments are arousing considerable concern in London because Britain at present is so intimately bound up with France that she would be drawn into any crisis, which, moreover, might be a temptation to Herr Hitler. The French, who are in a state of alarm, find the dilemma intensified because nobody is anxious to replace the Premier, M: Blum, whose one chance of saving the situation may be a national appeal in the hope of rallying the nation. One of the few factors in his favour is that the army at present is very strong and is believed to ,be entirely unaffected,by politics.
