two houses should be held for revision Of
The Constitution. N. 9Tevy said he was
the only member OF the majority VITO had
been summoned BY the President, and he
did not speak In the name Of the Left, or
indicate conditions. The affair causes
much comment. Several members OF the
Left declared after the sitting, that the
idea Of Congress which had only been
mentioned in private conversation, had
been seized upon at the Elysee as a pre-.
taxi for breaking Oh negotiations for re-
