 Herriots Ultimatum
 Premier Herriot pledged his Eoy- ernment to fight communistic yio- lence in France in a declaration be- fore the chamber of deputies today during a stormy session that brought into sharp relief the open intent of the communistic influences to &C., compIlsh revolution by force.
 The premier, however. put what he called the "clerical offensive" on the same basis. describing both movements as hostile to the re- public.
 I've will combat these manifesto. lions of violence with all our force" he said.
 Double Agitation
 TO be precise" continued the premier "the government finds it. self at grips with a double agitation -~one might say douhle offensive which evidently Is seeking to en- circle 1t.
 "On the one hand there is tie clerical agitation. It is a formid- able effort to arouse the country against the pretended prosecutions Of the government.
 "On the other hand there Is an- other offensive that Increasingly un- masks itself daily and which is &C., companled by a whole series of pro yocations."
 This offensive. he said, was seek ing power "bv violence"
 The premiers declaration was brought out by q violent attack in the party Of the communists on the governments action in suspending the communist mayor of the fishing town .nT noYs rapa7 aco,,~a3 ,. xaz!-. ing the police, During the excite nent that ensued the sergeant-st- arms had to separate belligerent deputies 10 prevent fist fights, while Victor Dalbiez. the minister Of liber. 9ted regions, was characterized as 2 war stacker" by Deputy Dalanant
 The Communist Deputy Cornavin started the ferment by his vitriolic evolutionary declarations. "The Russian feet, like the Russian army. s intended 10 come to the aid of tha forthcoming proletarian revolution" was one of his eXclsmatons.
 After aluding to the other "otfen- dye" that was seeking power "hy Premier Herriot turned to- wards the conlunists and said:
 Too Many Foreigners.
 There are too many foreign com nunists in France who forget their uty to the country that has given hem asylum. They were indulging in 'olitical demonstrations" and we yill not tolerate it. We will not lot hem meddle in our political life. r 2e meet with resistance VIC will reak it, and we Will deport as many as recessar ".
 "The government is resolved 10 ight the clerical agitation and the communist reril.'
 Replying 10 objections bv the 'atholcs, the premier said he had T official report that the Catholic 'eputy Tira was at 9 meeting where he cry was Tong live the revolu- ion"
