DISCUSSION IN FRENCH DEPUTIES. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright). PARIS, November 7. (Received November 9, 11.0 p.m.) A proposal to interpellate the Government on the necessity of publishing its intention with regard to the imposition of a Capital Levy was postponed by 333 votes to 117, after M.

Herriot declared that the first essential was to balance the Budget and it was impossible to wipe out in a few weeks the effects of four years of bad Government.
