Paris, Oct, 31.
RINED with quasi-dictatorial powers, M. Edouard Daladier, the Premier, arrived: here today from the Radical Socialist Congress at Marseilles and prepared to embark on a programme of domestic reform and friendship with the dictators, an abrupt reversal of France's former foreign policy. Well-informed quarters here understood M. Daladier regards a non-aggression pact with the Germany of Herr Adolf Hitler as the first step in establishing a basis on which a detailed programme of Franco-German àppeasement will be reached.
Other steps in the French foreign programme include an arms. limitation agreement between France and Britain on one hand and Italy and Germany on the other, settlement of Germany's colonial claims and economic agreement; s designed to prevent the New German Trade Bloc from isolating France from the remainder of Europe.
The entire programme, however, is contingent upon Anglo-Italian cooperation, which depends on an apeasement of the Mediterranean situation, including the Spanish War, "Lo Matin" predicted that M. Daladier will levy high inheritance taxes in order to redistribute wealth and to give a firmer foundation to the national treasury.—United Press.
