Premier Blum heartily wished Spain would float away to some other planet while the French Chamber of Deputies adjourned and the Bank of France was reorganized, but he and Foreign Minister Yvon Delbos had to do something about Spain and kept pressing upon the Great Powers their round-robin resolution for absolute neutrality (TIME, Aug. 17). Benito Mussolini declared that Italy could adhere to it only if all powers signatory to it would bind themselves not only to refuse "State aid" to Spain but to prevent "private aid" as well from reaching Madrid.

That France would make this move was announced to the Chamber in solemn terms last week by the Jewish Premier's obsequious Foreign Minister Yvon Delbos.

Since the new Premier, too, has no experience in foreign affairs, M. Blum and M. Delbos hit on the idea of calling to Paris last week all the principal European envoys of France, to ask each of them how things were in the country...
...Eighteen of the 23 Cabinet members were up for reelection. None was defeated outright, but at least four, Air Minister Marcel Deat, Minister of National Education Henri Guernut, Minister of Justice Yvon Delbos and Undersecretary for Technical Education Jules Julien, will have to stand the embarrassment of a runoff...
