...France equally abominable. Nevertheless the "popular Front" of the Radical Socialists, the Socialists and the Communists last week finally steamrollered through the Chamber of Deputies the Franco-Soviet Pact by a triumphant majority of 353-to-164.

The other five gloomily read a nonmandatory order of the day from the Executive Committee of the Radical Socialist Party implying that they should also resign from the Cabinet and excoriating M.
