STAVISKY CASE INQUIRY.
One Ex-Premier’s Allegations Against Another. United Press Assn. —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. PARIS, July IS. There were dramatic scenes when the former Premiers of France, M. Andre Tardieu and M. Camille Chautemps, confronted each other before the commission inquiring into the Stavisky affair. M. Tardieu summed up the accusations by saying he was convinced that M. Chautemps, both as a Deputy and the Premier, knew about M. Stavisky’s operations over a*period of ten years. M. Chautemps retorted, saying that the charges were false and absurd. The tone of both the ex-Premiers became violent. It is regarded as certain that a Cabinet crisis would have ensued had Parliament been in session, but the opinion is expressed that M. Gaston Doumergue, the Premier, vvho before his holiday realised the gravity of the situation, will be able to smooth the difficulties. It is believed that M. Tardieu is anxious to force a dissolution in the autumn.
