FRENCH POLITICS
SECOND EDITION
DEBATE BY DEPUTIES. LITTLE PROGRESS MADE. Received April 3, 10.20 a.m. PARIS, April 2. Tho Chamber adopted by 293 to 265 monopoly on the importation! of petroleum, the measure being discussed despite M. Peret’s request for its postponement in order to proceed with tho Finance Bill, from which tho monopoly was separated. M. Peret favoured the institution of control in co-operation with foreign business interests. He asked for a fairly free hand for the Government to organise control. Little headway was made with the financial debato, a feature being M. Perot’s readiness to accept alternatives, provided they gave equal revenue For instance, the Chamber rejected the increased duties on pharmaceutical goods. M. Peret immediately unpocketed a ready-made clause increasing the stamp duty on goods conveyed by railways, confessing simultaneously that he had other substitutes up his sleeve.—Reuter.
