"Tres Bien"

Said General Nollett, Minister of War, to the French Chamber of Dep- uties in response to a criticism from Deputy Louis Loucheur that France was no more ready for war than she was in 1914:

"M. Loucheur's statements are somewhat pessimistic. The new Su-perior Council of National Defense, created by the Herriot Government, is working at top speed in collaboration with all the industries concerned, and is preparing for complete mobilization of all industries in case of an-other conflict."

Loud cries of "tres bien" from all parts of the Chamber.
