PARIS, April 2s-Premier Leon
Blum informed a group of Socialist
deputies today he would be willing to
consider Matchmaking insurance in
France if he were solidly supported by
the Peoples Front.
The premier'S statement followed a
suggestion" yesterday by Finance
Minister Vincent Aurol to the Finance
Committee of the Chamber of Depu-
ties that the government assume con-
troll OF Frances debt-burdened rail-
roads.
Acquisition of arms and munitions
factories by the government already is
under way.
Blum, however, insisted that the
pause" in government spending and
economic reforms must be continued
for the time being.
Refusal of the government to float a
loan for public works program and
Its insistence on delaying social re-
forms, particularly old-age pensions,
has created rift in the People S
Front. Ieftist labor organizations
have attempted to bring pressure on
the premier to change his mind.
His statement on the possible ma
tionalization OF insurance, therefore.
was viewed in legislative quarters as
sop to the General Confederation
Of Labor and as evidence Of his de-
termination to bring the unions into
line with his policies.
