Dec. 7.-Pr-Premier Daladier, badgered by dissension within his own party and con fronted by a chamber of deputies almost evenly split on his foreign and domestic policies, sought to night to whip together some sort of a majority by which to govern France. Conclusion of the good neigh bor pact between France and Ger many yesterday and subsequent French-German talks gave Dala dier a sorely needed bargaining point for support of conservatives In the opening of parliament tomorrow. Rightists had long insisted that France needed an understanding with Germany to be free to set her economic house in order. The new friendship with Ger many, however, served to increase the leftist opposition to Daladier shown by strikes against his ec onomic decree laws. Most of Labor Troubles at End Except for the maritime strike at Le Hacre labor troubles ,were being ironed out. The government dealt a blow to the Le JIavre tieup by partly re placing the crew of the French liner Paris with ,pavy men. The Paris sailed from' Le Havre last night, picked up passengers today at Cherbourg and departed for New York. . The liner Normandie remained temporarily out of, service under government orders.

It seemed largely that the struggle over the economic laws was being transferred from fac tories and docks to the lower house of parliament where social ists and communists planned a bitter fight. The senate appeared almost unanimous for Daladier.
