 NE W RED PARTY
Deputies Overwhel m n g y Vote Confidence In Govern
 ment As Revolution Talked

PARIS Dee. 30.-(By the Assoc iated Press)-An overwhelming vote of confidence in the government in connection with the Tours Socialist congress was given by the chamber Of deputies this evening. The vote, which was 45l to 54, came after the gaunt- let had been thrown to the govern ment by the new Communist party of France. formed at the Tours con gress and acceptance of the Challenge on behalf of the government had been made by Minister of the Interior Steeg
 Deputy Marcel Cacnin, told the chamber that revolutionary efforts by the new Communist party would con- tinue despite any action the govern ment might take. In reply NJ. Steeg warned the revolutionary party that any attempt would be suppressed with all the means in the hands of the governtnent
 The debate arose from an interpel. lation of NJ. Vahta royalist deputy who asked the government to explain why Clara Zetkin, member of the Ger man reichstag and Of the executive committee Of the Third Internationale
 
 and speak at the Tours congress. The discussion gradually broadened into a debate on the general policy of the government toward immigration, the permitting of undesirables to enter France and allowing revolutionary prpoaganda by foreigners ana French members of the Communist party to proceed undisturbed.
 Cachin Is Disappointing
 This reference to the Tours con gress brought M Cachin, leader of the extremists of the Socialist party in France for years and now leader Of the Communist party, to the speakers tribune. His speech, however, seem ed to be disappointing because of It's mildness when compared with the speeches he had at the Tours con gross.
 IL proved to be a eulogy of the ideas of the Third InIernationale CT Nikolai Lenine,- Bolshevik premier, and of Clara Zetkin. The deputy COS ed by saying:
 We shall take advantage of the governments protective measures as long as they are extended 10 Us. When they cease and coercion and oppressive measures are adopted, we shall continue our revolutionary gro paganda everywhere, and at all times
 Pandemonium then broke loose. Many deputies jumped to their feet and requested Raoul Peret. president of the chamber, to have NJ. Cachin expelled Shouts of "shame!' and your language is dishonoraDle to Frenchman,' were heard. Then M. Steeg rose to reply.
 Deputy Cachin,'" NJ. Steeg said, has thrown down a challenge to the government. We accept it. We shall repress any attempt at revolution with all possible means at our command. !. The governments energy will be qual to the audacity of AI Cachins party
 NJ. Steeg then deposited the govern ment's bill providing penalties vary ing from three to six months impris- onment for attempts to cross the iron tiers of France without passports.
 Next Move Awaited
 The minister made no definite an nouncement regarding the policy oi the government intended to adopt to- ward the new Communist party. Tut later many government supporters who are close to the minister told The Associated Press that the oGV- ernment would await the next move of the Communists.
 "When they pass rom words to acts, 1t then will be time for the government to show it's hand enc deputy said.
 Several orders of the day were presented, some oi them asking that there be no expression of confidence in the government, but M. Leygues. president of the council of ministers, declined all of these, saying that the order of the day must include vote of confidence Thereupon Deputy Charles Danielou. introduced the or der of the day which said:
 "The chamber, confident of the abil- ity of the government to take the measures necessary to end revolution ary propaganda and the entrance of undesirables into France. pass to the order of the day"
