LAVAL SEEN VICTOR
IN ECONOMY FIGHT
First Vote of Confidence
for Premier Eases
Situation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 29.-The pros
poets for Premier Lavars cabinet to
carry out its economy fight against
devaluation frightened distinctly to-
day after the premier came easily
through the left wing opposition's
first attack in the Chamber OF
Deputies.
The government won a 345-to-225
vote of confidence soon after the
chamber reconvened yesterday, follow
ing a five-months' recess, on Laval's
demand that debate on financial policy
be given priority over political con-
troversies.
While the governments future re-
manned in doubt until the issues of
Lavals decree laws and the Leftist
fight on Fascist leagues" could be
settled, these difficulties were described
in chamber lobbies as less ominous
now.
Devaluation of the franc, which
Lavals ministers have pledged them
selves to oppose, came up in debate
today on the economy decree laws and
balanced budget.
Lavars first parliamentary victory
was acclaimed unanimously by the
French press, but some newspapers
hinted that the triumph might be
short-nved.
Leon Bailby, writing in lie Jour,
said:
IT feel that the premier's success
is like suspended sentence. The real
battle of the reconvened Parliament
will take place on Tuesday, when the
deputies debate the issue of the po-
htical leagues and Fascist inclined
organizations.
''The government will have to choose
between its present courageous lead
ership of national affairs or a swing
toward the extreme left, where con-
cessions are never sufficient to please
them.
ION this decision will depend the
stability or the reversal of the gov
eminent"
Henri Clerc, radical Socialist advo-
cate Of devaluation, said lowering the
value of the franc would be a sad
operation but would be payment for
q long series of errors" during today's
debate.

(Copyright. 1885. by the Associated Press }
PARIS, November 20. - Great
Britain was reported by informed
sources today to have achieved its
long-sought assurance Of French sup
port in case of an Italian attack on
the British in the Mediterranean.
1t was stated that Premier Laval,
who previously delayed League Of Ma
tions action on the proposal Of an oil
embargo against Italy. had given in
to the British demand for action on
the subject, thereby wrecking Italian
hopes for further delay
Yielding to the insistence of British
Ambassador Sir George Russell Clerk,
these sources said Laval made clear to
Italian Ambassador Vittorio Cerruti
that If II Duce did anything ''desper-
ate" in the Mediterranean, France
and other League of Nations powers
would stand solidly, unreservedly be-
hind Britain.
The European crisis arising from
Italy's war in Ethiopia and applica-
tion of League penalties against the
Fascist nation thus approached q cli-

ing hopes Italy might soon be ready

War End Seen.
A high Italian authority was re-
ported by the noted French COM
mentator, Pertinax. to have said ad-
dition of an oil embargo to the sane
tions already being applied would
very shortly make continuation Of the
war impossible"
Lacking supplies to press her East
African conquest, Pertinax suggested,
ITALY would be all the more incapable
OF facing eventualities she might
cause tc arise elsewhere.
Hasn't the time come to open
friendly negotiations?"
Premier Laval conferred yesterday
with Mussolinis representative, Ger
rdti. Officials said Cerfuti repeated
Mussolini's earlier warning that re-
inforcement of the arms, financial and
economic sanctions, and selected key
products embargo by such new meas
ures might mean war.
Lavars request for postponement of
action on the new measures had been
based on necessity that he remain in
Paris to defend his government be-
fore the reconvened Parliament, where
he won vote of confidence yesterday

Informed sources reported Laval put
an end to sny Italian ideas of further
delay or oil embargo action.
League Of Nations officials said at
Geneva they believed a date for en-
forcement of oil sanctions would be
set early in December)
Discussion Bases Drawn.
The French premier was reported to
have told Cerruti also that main bases
for discussion of Italo-E Ethiopian peace
had been drafted by French and
British experts, but must be withheld
until military operations in Ethiopia
cease.
Possibilities Of ending the East
African warfare before Christmas
were considered slight in diplomatic
circles. A spokesman said the British
attributed recent Egyptian rioting to
Italian propaganda and refused to
withdraw part of their Mediterranean
sea forces. in answer to Italy's recent
recall of some Libyan troops.
