National Union Rejected

Paris, Nov. 17.

Any idea of a national government for France in the near future hes been nipped in the bud by an unanimous declaration by the Congress of the Republican Federation, the largest right-wing group in the Chamber of Deputies, refusing "either to support ox participate in any government in which there is a Socialist or a member of any other party maintaining contact with the Communists."

The resolution also congratulated leaders of the Party for having barred the way in March this year to the formation of a so-called ministry of national union "destined only to save the Popular Front and instal Communists in government councils."—Reuter.
