FRANCE: Au Parlement
After a three months' vacation, the French Parliament last week reassembled. Its first act was to free four Communist Deputies — MM. Cachin, Duclos, Marty, Doriot—who were imprisoned during the summer for sedition. It was made clear to the four that as soon as the Chamber of Deputies ended its session they must go back to prison and "spend their vacations there." Deputy Franklin-Bouillon and a small party of his friends resigned from the Socialist party and formed the Radical Unionist party, the eleventh in French politics. The session continued.
