SOCIALISTS FAIL
TO SUPPORT GOVT.
IN MOROCCAN VOTE

Paris. May es.-(AP)--The Social
lists sprang an 18th hour surprise in
the Moroccan debate in the chamber
of deputies. throwing bombshell in
to the serene situation of the renovat-
ed sacred union" when, after hearing
Foreign Minister Brands declarations,
they decided late tonight to abstain
from voting, thus refusing their sup
port to the Painleve cabinet. although
officially committed by their leaders
to stand by the ministry.
Should the Socialists maintain their
present attitude. their failure to en-
dorse NJ. Painleve practically means
the destruction of the Left groups
majority which has been ruling France
since the May IL, 1924. elections.
The Socialists. while endorsing Pre-
mier Painleve's declarations today, OBJ
jected to Mr.. Brands references to
Frances alliance with Spain against
the Riffians. They felt that the for
eign minister's policy was not in
agreement with the promise NJ. Pain
ieve made them that the Moroccan
war would be absolutely defensive.
NJ. BRAND told the chamber that
France and Spain would probably soon
reach an accord which would prevent
supplies of arms reaching Abd-el-
Krim, the Moroccan revolutionary
leader.
The staunch and unequivocal approx
al of the government by the Nation
alists led by NJ. Maginot also proved
irksome to the Socialists. Their move
places the Painleve cabinet in the Pc
culiar position of relying for its ma
jority on the opposition, and should
the Center and Right parties decide
to make political capital out of the
detection of the governments Social
list allies and turn against the cabinet,
the ministry would be placed in mi
nority and overthrown.
Great efforts will be made during
the night and tomorrow previous TO
the reconvening of the chamber, which
was adjourned after the action Of the
Socialists became known. to cause the
Socialists to relent. inasmuch as their
decision tonight to abstain from vot-
ing was reached by only one vote ma
iority at a caucus at which many
prominent members of the party were
absent.
Premier Painleve admitted heavy
loss of life in the Moroccan strife, but
pledged the governments word of hon
or that not single life would be
given UP except to the defense OF
French protectorate territory and not
centime would be spent or a drop OF
blood shed for colonial expansion OF
in a war of conquest.
