French approve emergency budget measures in parliament
The chamber of deputies approved Premier Daladier's emergency budget measures by a show of hands, a technical vote with no implication for 1939 funding. France also stated Britain is not pledged to aid in Italian aggression, while critics pressed concerns over appeasement. Refund claims for Douglas County land taxes will be paid to prior taxpayers or heirs, with signers required in person or by heirs, and warrants issued within 20 to 30 days.
