BRAND CHEERED BY
CHAMBER DEPUTIES
Government Authorized to Con-
tinue Leasing Churches
CLEMENCEAU SORRY FIGURE
Premier Adds Approval to BRANDS
Remarkable Speech for Catholic
Church, But Does Not
Mount Tribunal.
CLEMENCEAU SORRY FIGURE

Paris, February 19.-By a majority of
S51 the chamber of deputies today not
only expressed confidence in the govern
ment and authorized it to conclude nego-
tiations for the leasing of churches to
parish priests. but 1t endorsed with
storms of applause a remarkable speech
by NJ. BRAND, in which the extreme left
was openly rebuked for its intoleranL
spirit.
The minister declared it was unworthy
of republicans, or even free thinkers not
to respect the faith or millions of their
Fellow countrymen. The object of separa-
ton, he said, was disestablishment, not
persecution. Liberty of worship, whether
Catholic, Protestant or Jewish. must be
respected.
The Catholic church was not like any
other sect. 1t had seen fit to forfeit its
churches, seminaries and rectories, which
1t might now be In possession, but this
did not prevent the government from
recognizing the right of Catholics to wor-
snip, and the government therefore in
tended to keep the Catholic churches
open for Catholics, and for no one else.
When M. BRAND had finished the issue
had been clearly defined The followers
or M. Combes alone, and unsupported,
were literally overwhelmed.
Premier Clemenceau cut rather a sorrv
figure today Although he added his an
proval to what M. BRAND said, he did not
mount the tribunal, and the leadership Of
the church question plainly had passed to
his subordinate
M BRAND made the point that the
law OF January 2 specifically contemplat-
ed courts of occupation, and that con-
sequently the government was not exceed
Ing Its powers. He took care not to re-
veal the text of the contract agreed upon.
thus leaving latitude to give and take
should further obstacles arise. He an
nounced, however. that the government
would insert a clause in these contracts
to prevent foreign priests or members
of religious orders not recognized in
france from becoming parties
thereto. He admitted that the
government could not constran the may
ors, who are at liberty to make anv
contracts provided they were legal. but IL
they exercised their rights to refuse con-
tracts the government would be compelled
not only to keep the churches open. but
to maintain them at the expense of the
commune.
1t Is agreed tonight on all sides that
formula for the leases would soon
be found and that the most acute phase
or the church controversy is at an end.
