PARIS, April 11.-Rapidly spread
ing strikes today paralyzed the metal
industries of the Paris region in spite
of the appeal of the new premier,
Edouard Daladier, to the nation for
discipline.
Workers of dozen of the capitals
largest factories, including the
Renault automobile plant, joined some
10000 strikers already out, swelling
the total to nearly 100000
Chief demands of the strikers are
that wages be tied to the rising cost
Of living, although employers insisted
the movement was political in
spired" Most of the metal workers
belong to ist-controlled
unions"
In a few plants all workers re-
nalned in occupation and raised red
flags. In most cases, however only
pickets were left to occupy the shops.
Deal With Italy Planned.
Quick efforts to end differences with
Italy were predicted in parliamentary
quarters, where the new 'Daladier gov
ernment was said to be planning to
fall fully in line with the British con-
ciliatory policy.
1t was reported in these quarters
that an extraordinary envoy would be
sent to Rome promptly to discuss set
tlement of the problems disturbing the
two countries relations. The discus
slons would follow the British negotja-
ton of an Italian friendship under
standing.
The problems are primarily the ques-
tion of Spain and the question of recog-
milton of the Italian conquest of Etni-
opia.
May Recognize Empire.
1t is understood that, in return for
an Italian promise to keep out of Spain
after the war is ended and to send no
further troops to the insurgent army,
the French government is seriously
flirting with the idea of granting recog-
milton to the King of Italy as Emperor
of Ethiopia.
The agreement would be followed by
appointment of French Ambassador
10 Rome, to replace the present Charge
d'Affaires. The disappointed Ambas-
sador to Rome never took his post be-
cause France did not recognize the
Ethiopian conquest.
The Daladier government. espe-
clally with Georges Bonnet in the for
elgn office, is viewed on all sides as
likely to plot a conservative interna-
tional course.
1t would act in close accord with
London, in an effort to relieve the
tension in Europe.
To Present Cabinet Soon,
M. Daladier announced he would
lose no time in presenting his cabinet
to the Chamber of Deputies.
He summoned the ministers to meet
tomorrow morning. In the afternoon
they will appear in the Chamber.
At that time it is expected M. Dala-
uler will present bill giving the gov
eminent powers to control national
finance for six months by decree and
ask immediate discussion of the
measure. In such a case the bill
would be submitted Thursday to the
Senate, whose rejection of a similar
request by M. Blum caused his down.
