IMPORTANT ISSUES TO
Be DECIDED BY FRANCE

PARIS, Oct. 2O.-The session of the
French chambers, which began today,
promises to be more than ordinarily
interesting. The opposition, whose only
hope lay in the possibility of split
in the government majority, is now
thoroughly discouraged, and the
Coombes government will undoubtedly
carry its program through with a sure
hand. The announced policy of the
government contains three leading fea-
tures-a scheme for dissolving the con
cordat. a plan for the establishment

of high court of justice, and the an,
nouncement of procedure in regard TO
Morocco, which has been agreed upon
by France, Great Britain and Spain.
These three features, appealing as they
do to as many phases of French public
opinion, will be emphasized in accord
ance with their several capacities to
maintain the integrity of DR.. Coombes'
administration. The success of the ad.
ministration in regard to the Moroccan
question undoubtedly is depended upon
to strengthen its hand when matters
nearer home come up for settlement
