FRENCH POLITICS.
CRUCIAL VOTE TO-DAY. GOVERNMENT’S CHANCES. (Times Cables.) LONDON, Feb. 23. The Paris correspondent of the Times states: “While the Chautemps Government largely adopts the domestic policy of the Tardieu Government tlie exact programme must be awaited before estimating the chances of 't.s surviving the first meeting of tho Chamber on Tuesday, when there will certainly be a keen debate.
“The Premier desires a tost vote the same evening. M.. Chautemps cannot depend upon more than 221 votes out of 596, but if he gets the Socialist support, amounting to 98 votes, ho will bo reasonably safe, though that party’s help is only promised in ‘certain circumstances,’ and the promise is not binding. “Meanwhile the opposition parties remain implacable. They consider that the overtures of M. Chautemps to the Socialists as insulting to the nation.
“The Premier announces that Cabinet will continue the foreign policy of its predecessors, especially when the navai delegation returns to London.’’
