SOCIALISTS ALONE DEMUR
Speeches Held to Form Clear

Terms Of Peace.
Special CaJle Despatch to THH SuS.


rARIs. Jan. 12.--The Chamber of Dep
uties last evening registered its support
OF the war aims OF the Allies as enunc!
ated by Premier Lloyd George and
President Wilson. 1t approved by a
vote of 395 to l4j Foreign Minister
Pichon's declaration of the French for
eign policy. which was in full accord
with the positions of England and
America on all points.
The opposition came from the So
clalists and some Of the Radical So
cialists. who held that the French Gov
ernment was not wholly in agreement
with its two great allies in regard to
the Russian situation. They insisted
tina: the French Socialists should be
allowed to confer officially with the
Russian socialists. Albert Thomas
leader OF the French Socialists. de-
rnanded that the French Government,
should take the initiative in a joint
statement Of war aims by the Allies.
Foreign Minister Pichon replied that
the Go"ernment would not accept any
demand by the Socialists. He analysed
the manuuvres OF the MaxImalists and
declared that neither France nor her
allies would be dragged into peace ne
Gotiations through Petrograd. Only
direct. concrete proposals. from Germany
would be considered.
In reafiirming the general principles
Of the Allies as stated by Premier Lloyd
George and President Wilson three
points, said NJ. Pichon. are essential to
just and lasting peace: respect for
treaties, a territorial settlement based
on national rights and limitation Of ar
nlaments.
