Blum, defining the position of the Socialists, declared that the war against the Communists had been taken up at present as an electoral manoevure. M. Poincare denied that the Government was preparing for either a coup d’etat or the institution of a new law. It W’as merely a matter of applying the existing laws. If the day should come when the prosecution of Communist Deputies would arise, the Government would not shirk its responsibilities.—A. and N.Z.
