The Chamber has finished the debate on the unrest in Indo-China, [which was at times extremely lively, especially on Friday afternoon when the Minister of Colonies, replying to Jeritieism from the opposition, placed fall blame for the unrest "among. the simple natives" on the Communists who taunted the Minister with are tides wherein it is asserted that the overlapping: of the authority of Governor of Indo-China and the Home Office, a8 well as the climination of natives from the administra. tion, was chiefly responsible for the recent events in Indo-China, Meanwhile, the mystery of the missing milliards of franes again Jeropped up with the Minister Finance, M. Reynaud, persistingly refusing to divulge what has become Jof the money.—He defended his refusal with secretive hints of "national emergencies" which apparently, confirm previous reports that the'money has gone into secret Jarmaments not sanctioned by the Parliament.
