The cabinet, after a four-hour meeting, issued a cautious communique, which said it had unanimously approved Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet’s “precise definition of French foreign policy and his instruction to French ambassadors.” Informed sources believed the instructions to French envoys ini' volved two actions. The first would be to inform all friendly governments, espec- ' tally Poland. Routnania and Jugoslavia, whose attitude is wavering, that France intends to com ply with her obligations to Czechoslovakia, although doing her utmost to bring about a peaceful solution. Secondly, the governments involved would be asked to define

Paris, Aug. 30.—(U.RJ—The cabinet is considering the advisability of a display of strength by the British navy or the French navyi as an answer to the German army maneuvers and as a silent warning j !of the danger of an attack oui Czechoslovakia, it was reported to-1 j day. Under any such plan, the display 1 —a sign that Britain and France were ready—would be accompanied' i by a strong and possibly a final | cautionary note to Germany. ; It was understood that the cabi-| ; net considered also a new public declaration of its intention to: fight for Czechoslovakia if she I were attacked. As the cabinet met. in a solemn I council of ministers under Presi-I dent Albert Lebrun at his Elysee ■ I palace, French troops enacted a j vivid drama on the eastern froni tier. . .... 1 Thirty-six miles, at the ncaiest point, from the junction of the French-Swiss-German frontier, the troops simulated an attack by a foreign army, which had marched through Switzerland to strike at the rich industrial region of cast France. At dawn, the blue army, deployed in the Valdahon region, moved northwestward in the plateau country on Becancon. Awaiting them was a red army i made up in part of the famous 1 blue devils, the Alpine chasseurs of the World War fame. And. burning up the roads from Paris, rushed reserves in 100 motor buses, testing emergency transport for the next war in nostalgic memory of the rattling Parts taxicabs with which, in 1914. Gen. Joseph Simon Galiient sent his reserves to save Paris at the first battle of the Marne. The entire games were a lest of the defenses of the frontier region against an invasion through Switzerland by a German army. It probably escaped many people that, as the blue and red armies “fought" on the Besancon plateau.

Specifically, the cabinet met to-1 ■ day to approve changes in the 40- [ hour work week law in line with Premier Edouard Daladier's plan to insure adequate working time in all war industries and in other essential production. The meeting was arranged after the minor cabinet crisis which resulted from Daladier's first announcement of his plan. Events, however, had made the Czechoslovak situation the big problem. Incidentally, it had removed opposition to the extension of the work week. It was now a matter of necessity to speed up defense preparations. o Trade In A Good Town — Decatur
