FRENCH POLICIES
'FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC GROWING UNEASINESS ANXIETY FOR THE FUTURE MORE MONEY FOR DEFENCE By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright LONDON, Oct. 12 The trend of French domestic policy is being given increasing attention in the press, says the Paris correspondent of tho Times. He sees a widening tendency to count the cost of the Munich agreement. Even a large section which hitherto demanded peace at any price is becoming increasingly anxious for the future.
The orientation of foreign policy and the need of unity is everywhere accepted as the first essential of France's continued existence as a first-class Power, but how it is to be achieved none is able to answer.
The foreign policy of France is in the melting pot, says the Paris correspondent of the News Chronicle. The internal political structure has been shaken to the core. Tho Popular Front is morallv extinct.
M. Flandin, who forecast the situation, lost his opportunity through his pro-Nazi leanings during the crisis. The Prime Minister, M. Daladier, until November 15, will hammer out a new policy, but many expect a prior collapse of the Daladier-Bonnet combination.
The Council of Ministers has voted an additional £6.750,000 Army credit and £4,500,000 Navy credit. It is learned that the Cabinet has approved of the appointment of M. Poncet as Ambassador to Rome, says tho Paris correspondent of tho British United Press. M. Coulondre, who is at Moscow, is being transferred to Berlin to replace M. Poncet, and M. Massigli, a member of the Foreign Office, will bo the new Ambassador to Turkey.
