ERSAILLEA December An the
Chamber Of Deputies to-day NJ. Jules
Ferry, on behalf OF the Budget Commit.
tee, declared that the committee consid.
cred that to detsch the clauses relative to
direct taxes from the remainder of the
budget would involve questions of policy
principle and even Of parliamentary gov.
eminent. The main question was: Snail
the repositories of the national will dis
arm in the face of policy which refuse:
to disarm2 The existing conflict was
due TO the fatal advice OF counsellors mis-.
leading the executive power. The ma
jority would only grant the budget to q
parliamentary Ministry. If the esti'
mates were not passed the responsibility
would fall on those who wou Id persist in
prolenging the crisis, despite the
cry of public misery which
was heard. Until further notice
the committee would not report
in favor OF direct taxes. N. NJ. Barsg-
non and Rouher demanded that this
declaration be treated as report, so that
the house could proceed to discuss 1t,
otherwise the voice 'of the minority
would be stifed. NJ. Gsmbetts opposed
the demand. He said ths. on Thursday
all the committee reports would be
brought in. The Chamber was ready to
concede the budget, but would only hand
over the resources Of the country when
those in power bowed before the popular
will. 1t would be seen whether in France
the nation governed or man COM
msnded NJ. Rouher moved that the
budget be considered Thursday next. N.
Grevy said that the minority would have
an opportunity for debate Thursday,
when the Chamber could decide whether
to proceed to discussion. NJ. Rouher's
mot on was rejected By vote Of 1928
to III.

Lsrcy, Legitimist, and N. Bsrot, Bona
partist, life Senators.

President MacMahon's efforts TO form q
concilatory N nistry have been so far
frustrated by the exorbItant demands of
the Lett, and that congress of the two
houses should be held tor the revision OF
the constitution. Al. Grevy said he was
The only member OF the msjoriLy who had

breaking of the negotiations for re-
cencilistion.
