adopted in the chamber Of deputies
late Saturday depriving Former Pre-
mier Joseph CaiIlaux OF parliament

against him for alleged reasonable
dealings with the enemy. The vote

The secret report sent last Febru-
airy from the French embassy at
Rome to the foreign office, In which
vi. Caillaux was said to have ex-
pressed opinions hostile to the United

that the former premier had in his

This Is one OF the statements made
at the French embassy, according to
the report by the man referred to as
M. lie Prestre," who asserted he had
obtained accounts at the American
embassy In Rome Of conversations
between M. Caillaux, who was then
in Rome. and two Monsignori Of the
Vatican.
In this conversation NJ. Caillaux
was reported to have expressed his
sentiments toward the United States
Report OF this discussion was taken
to the American embassy by a pre-
late, according to NJ. lie Prestre.
When the findings had been an
nounced Deputy Loustalot, in q trem-
ulous voice, expressed his indigna-
ton at being accused OF completely
in reasonable transactions. M. Call
Iaux followed.
Il am not accused of betraying my
country for money. No. But for
ambition" he said. and then declared
with emphasis:
Never have 1 tried, directly or in
directly, to come into contact with
our enemies. Never have used
subterranean paths to succeed In q
foreign policy"

lot to Switzerland where he saw the
former khedive of Egypt.
