BAD BARGAIN FOR FRANCE

Paris. February S.-M. Pichon. ex-
Minister of Foreign Affairs, discussing
the Franco-German agreement In the
Senate to-day, delivered q criticism of
the treaty, the ratification OF which
he declared he would not vote for. He
described II as bad bargain for
France, which, in exchange for tho
gravest sacrifices. had got Morocco, but
so heavily mortgaged as to be of little
use. He took the gloomiest view of
the future and feared that the pro-
tectorate in Morocco would prove much
costly in men and money than calcu-
lated upon at present.
The chance In the Moroccan policy,
continued NJ. Pichon. is subjecting the
existing relations between the great
powers to a severe strain. He was
sure that Premier Poincare's great aim
was the preservation Of peace, but he
feared that the problems arising out
OF recent events would prove an cN.
cessively heavy burden for the country,
whose strength would be diminished by
the dissemination of it's forces In
Africa
The first duty of the nation, said
the eyForeign Minister. was to
strengthen in every way it's alliances
and friendships, for he added. I'VE arc

mors which reach us and keep UP our
