M. SARRAUT’S POLICY ANGLO=FRENCH ACCORD “AN ESSENTIAL GUARANTEE OF PEACE IN EUROPE” (Unite* Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) PARIS ,30th January. M. Sarraut, the new Prime Minister, had a cool reception in the Chamber of Deputies when he read a declaration of policy in which he described the Goernment as one of Republican conciliation and vigilance. Ho said its obvious task was to ensure fair and free elections. There was no time for a wide constructive programme. The Government regarded AngloFrench accord ns an essential guarantee of peace in Europe. France was ready to meet all nations half-way toward a European understanding, and hoped to find Germany in the forefront of countries imbued with peaceful intentions. Referring to Abyssinia he said that the Government would endeavour to find a solution within the League “to end these ghastly and bloody hostilities.” During the ensuing. debate M. Fernand Laurent criticised the inclusion in the Cabinet of General Maurin, Minister of War, on the ground that he had been adviser to France’s biggest armaments combine, the SchneiderCreusot group. M. Maurin attempted to reply but M. Sarraut pulled him back. The debate was adjourned.
