The vote was considered a moral defeat for the government, however as more than 800 deputies abstained from vot- ing.

 The vote was taken on the demand of Premier Millerand, following a say age attack by Deputy Leon Daudet, editor of L'Action Franchise, on Jules Steeg, minister of the interior NJ. Daudet demanded the right to inter- pellate the government on M. Steeg's appointment to the ministry. He de- clared that Steeg was an accomplice of Louis J. Malvy, former minister of the interior, who was banished after his conviction on charges of commu- nicating with the enemy, and of Jo- seph CaillauX, former premier, who is soon to be brought to trial on the charge of attempting to promote a premature and dishonorable peace with Germany.
