Socialists May Back
Painleve in Morocco
(By The Associated Press.)

PARIS, June ga caucus Of social
ist members of the Chamber of deputies
today decided that the party will be
guided by future political an parlia-
mentary circumstances in determining
whether it will support or oppose the
Painleve government on the Moroccan
question.
The socialist party carefully avoided
the use Of the word rupture" and de-
cided to resume "entire freedom Of ac-
tion toward the Painleve government"
The first initiatives for the negoti
atiors in Morocco must come from ADD
Ell Krim, the Riffian leader, Premier
Painleve told the socialists. The pre-
mer added that any overtures for peace
from france would tantamount to
recognition of Abd-El- Krim.
The other alternative, he said, would
be to negotiate with Abd-El- Krin
through Spain. France considers the
Riffian leader Spanish subject and
will entertain propositions for negoti-
ations with him if presented through
Madrid, the premier explained.
The premier ASKED the socialists il
they had a solution whereby peace could
be restored in the Riff without injur-
ing the dignity Of France and without
the possibility Of France meeting WITH
rebuff from Add Ell -Krim, endanger
ing French prestige. If 50, he said
the government would be glad to con
sided the plan. The socialists ad
vanced no solution.
