STAVISKY INQUIRY
DRAMATIC SCENES. PARIS, Wednesday. There were dramatic scenes at the Stavisky Commission, when two former Premiers, M. Tardieu and M. Chautemps, confronted one another. The former summed up the accusations by saying he was convinced that M. Chautenips, both as Deputy-Premier and Premier, knew about Stavisky’s operations over a period of ten years. M. Chautenips retorted: “The charges are false and absurd.” The tone of both ex-Prcmiers 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. Doumergue, the present Premier, who, before his holiday, realised the gravity of the situation, will be able to smooth over the difficulties. It is believed that M. Tardieu is anxious to force a dissolution in the autumn.
