ir1et today drafted emergency de- creeS dissolving the fascist Croix dc Ecu (Cross of Fire) organization and other right wing organizations op- posed to the popular front govern ment headed by Premier Leon Blum
 The decrees, to be signed this aft- ernoon by President Albert LeBrun provide for dissolution not only oi the Croix De Ecu but of the Fran ciSteS Solidarite F,rancaise and the Jeunesses (Young) Patriotes.
 They followed clashes between communists and fascists in Mar seilles yesterday and coincided with lrlconflrmed reports that Col. De La Rocque, leader of the Croix De Ecu was planning Q rightist consolidat tion to move on Paris in Q demonstration similar to Beilito MusSolini's famous black shirt march on Rome.
 Aimed At All Fasclsts
 The decrees, aimed at all fascist organizations, were intended origin- ally to call for dissolution only ot semi-n1ilitary groups within fascist leagues. M. Salengro, minister of the interior, explained however they had been broadened to include fascist or- ganizations as 8 whole.
 They were based on the law of January 6, 1886, dissolving groups organized for combat and as private militias.
 After President LeBrun signs the decres at today's second cabinet meeting they will be presented to parliament.

 New Strikes Crop Up
 New strikes, including that at Neuilly and one which closed 30 ho- tels on the Riviera, red demonstra- tions in Marseilles, Algeria and Mo- rocco and the threat of Q coup by the fascist Croix De Ecu organization plagued Premier Leon Blum's popu- lar front government.
 The American hospital strike was called after the all-night ilegotia- tions failed.
 It was discussed at Q cabinet meet ing presided over by Edouard Dala- dier because Blum was sitting with the senate which dellberated the bill providing for Q 70 hour working week.
 Tension continued in MarseilIes where last night fascists led by the Croix De Ecu and communists wav- ing red flags, clashed during demon- strationS in the famous Canebiere, the main thoroughfare.
 Fastening to meet the situation the senate began debate on the la- bor reform bill, providing e 70 hour working week. Yesterday 1t voted four social legislative measures, inc cluding laws providing paid vaca- tions, collective labor contracts and restoration of civil servants pay cuts.
 Officials said the Marseilles situa- ton was under control with mobile guards ready to aid the police in maintaining order.

 New Mediterranean 1 Eden hinted that g new Mediters ranean pact might arise from the ashes of sanctions.
 Tt is the governments view" he said, "that the assurances of mutual assistance from Britain to various Mediterranean countries should not end with the raising of sanctions" It would be easy for tis not to take the lead" Eden said, T am con- vinced that, far from embarrassing others, the lead we shall take will be welcomed in many quarters" Nagged by Communist During Eden's speech, he was an- royed by Interruptions from the communist, William Gallacher. When Eden mentioned the pro- sanctiofiist speech made by his predecessor, Sir Samuel Hoare, at I Geneva last September, 0allacher cried: "What about 1t iow2" Later Callacher taunted Eden with You gre running away" Eden, exasper- ated, said: "The honorable il1ei1l- ber's cheap jibes are inappropriate here." Later Eden frankly ad- mitted: "There. is no question that the judgment of the league passed in the autumn regarding an act of aggression is being modified and rec verSed."
 Cries of shame

 Eden, admitting that the purpose of sanctions --halting Italys con- quest of Ethiopia had not been realized, announced that the gov- ernment considers it is Britain's duty to take the lead again in iron- ing out the situation. 'The gov- ernment has concluded that there is no longer any utility in continuing these measures as Q means of pres sure against Italy," Eden declared. Eden admitted the futility of trying to oust the Italians by other than military means,
 Italian Campaign Succeeded
 aThe Italian military campaign has succeeded" he said. GAS far as I know, no Ethiopian government survives in any part of the enl- peror's territory. There is situa- tion which nothing but military acc ton from outside could possibly rec verse"
 ''If the league means to enforce Q peace in Ethiopia which the league could rightly approve" Eden contin- ued, ''it must take action of Q kind which must inevitably lead to war in the Mediterranean. The govern ment has nothing to apologize for or retract.
