in the chamber last night, when NJ.

nittee on the new bill, which drew
forth sharp reply from Premier Gle

The opposition speakers first to
address the chamber were M. ..
Lazies and Rribert, who argued that
tie least the government could accord
the clericals was the inclusion in the
new law of distinct provision that
only priests having ecclesiastical au-
thority should be allowed TO conduct
public worship in the churches, while
ex.Premier Ribot, amid cheers from
the right, severely criticized the gov
ernment's "precipitate change OF po-
sition after promising to leave the
churches open for public worship and
to allow a years grace for the ma
devotion of church property.
Minister Of Public Worship Brianc
