Socialists Violently Interrupt
Foreign Minister While Ad-
dressing Chamber.
GREAT STORM BREAKS
M. Pichon Declares Boundary OF
AIsace-Lorraine Must Be Fixed
So as to Guard Against
Future Attack.

Paris, Dec. 31.-Premier Glenn
enceau was given vote of con-
fidence, $50 to 134, in the chamber
of deputies after stormy debate
during which the war aims of
France were outlined by Stephen
Pichon, foreign minister, and the
premier had indicated his adher-
ence to the "old systems of aIli-
ance called the balance of
power" In addressing the cham
ber of deputies Premier CIemen-
ceau made it plain that 1t was his
intention to support Great Britain
In the peace negotiations on the
question of the freedom of the
seas, and he declared that his at
tltude in this matter was ap-
proved by President Wilson.
Paris, Dec. '31.-When M. Pichon,
minister of foreign affairs, amid violent
Interruptions by the Socialists and
counter demonstrations by the govern
ment supporters, outlined Frances
peace terms, the storm which has been
brewing for several days broke loose
The minister declared that France
is absolutely in agreement that full
publicity be given to the proceedings
of the peace conference. He an
nounced that Intervention In Russia
was inevitable, but that 1t would be
of a defensive character so far as
French troops were concerned, and
that if offensive operation were un-
dertaken, 1t must be with Russian
troops.
Early Statement Surprise.
1t had been evident fop the last
week that the opponents of Premier
Clemenceau were determined to OBJ
struct in every possible way the vot-
ing of the budget of $2,100, 100000 for
the first three months of 1919 unless
the government stated its peace terms
either through Premier Clemenceau or
NJ. Pichon.
NJ Franklin-Bouillon, of the COM
mittee of foreign affairs, brought mat
ters to a head, however, by a violent
attack on NJ. Pichon and the govern
ment's foreign policy.
Since Thursday the government
bench has sat in obdurate silence, re-
fusing to reply to any queries, but
when M. Pichon ascended the tribune
he was ready to answer
Secret Diplomacy Abandoned.
He declared:
First-That the government was in
accord that the utmost publicity
should be given TO the peace confer.
ence, thus replying to the interpella.
tion of the Socialist deputy, Marcel
Cachin, OF last Friday, when he asked
Premier Clemenceau to state whether

in the peace conference and the dis
cussion given all publicity. Y
Second-That the French govern
ment has adopted the principle of a
league of nations and is now busy
working towards it's effective realiza-

ton of the Socialist, M. Bracke.

Third-That the government does
not deesire any annexation, but re-
serves the right to fix the Alsace-Lor.

ture attack, thus replying to M.
Franklin -BouiIlon.
Fourth-That the government does
not think that the question of diplo-
matte representation of the Vatican
arises at the present moment.
Fifth-That Intervention in Russia
Is inevitable.
