FRENCH REDS BACK
NEUTRALITY PLAN
Reversal in Communist Po-
sition Averts Threat to
= Blum Cabinet.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 9.-The strength
Of the Popular Front government was
restored today after a crisis which
threatened to force the resignation Of
Socialist Premier Leon Blum.
Possibility of Communist defec-
ton from the coalition because Of its
insistence on French neutrality in the
Spanish civil war was averted when
q Leftist leader declared the party
would support non-intervention.
The Communist spokesman, Marcel
Cachin, said the party would advocate
strengthening the "hands-off' agree
ment by urging its extension to pro-
hibit transportation of volunteers to
Spain.
The statement satisfied the demands
Of Socialists, who, with the Radical
Socialists in the Blum cabinet, had
demanded France adhere to neutrality,
for showdown.
It represented a reversal in the
Communist position, interpreted by
political observers as recognition that
continued attacks on the premier
might neceSsitate dissolution of the
Popular Front and lead to the forma-
ton of an nti-Communist govern
ment.
