FRENCH HOY PROGRAMME
THE ESTIMATES MODERATED OPPOSITION BY SOCIALISTS EFFECT ON DISARMAMENT RESIGNATION OF LEADER By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Rec. 8.30 p.m. Paris, June 18. The Chamber of Deputies adopted by 410 votes to lOS the estimates for the 1031-32 naval programme, the Government accepting an amendment halving, the proposed credit and suspending the laying down of the proposed battleship of 23,000 tons.
M. Paul Boncour on behalf of the Socialists criticised the battleship. He said France need not be afraid because Germany had launched the Deutschland. Italy could build a 23,000-tonner, saying she was responding to France’s initiative and France would be unable to take a bold line at the disarmament conference if weighed down by the battleship. M. Herrioit has resigned the leadership of the Radical Socialists owing to 40 of his followers voting against the Government on the Naval Bill contrary to his instructions.
