French Leader Declares
His Country Must
Avoid Trap

PARIS, April 6. (UP)-
Asserting that the results OF
American credit initiation
should demonstrate the dan
ger in t h governments s
emergency finance bill, Pierre
Etienne Flandin, opposition leader,
attacked the popular front govern
ment in the chamber of deputies
circulated to restore national conf
dence.
The drastic financial program
of Premier Leon Blum's popular
front cabinet was approved by a
slim majority after application of
a gag rule limiting debate.
Debate was interrupted after
speeches by Paul Reynaud and
Flandin in which they bitterly crit
icized the measure. The majority
was slender and resulted when the
radical party permitted members
to vote individually instead of as
a bloc
Flandin, leading off for the op-
position against Premier Leon
Blum'S finance program, including
emergency measures to revalorize
the Bank of France gold reserve,
centralize foreign exchange trad
ing in the bank and impose a capi-
tai levy, opposed any initiation.
The results of American credit
initiation should demonstrate to us
the dangers of the inflationary
clauses of the finance bill" said
Flandin. The bill points toward
totalitarian economic regime
which would progressively elimin-
ate economic and political freedom
and result finally in a Hitlerian-
MuSsolinian dictatorship"
