ANGLo-PERsIAN TREATY
 TOPIC OF DAY IN FRANCE

J Paris, Aug. 19.-(By The A. PO- | The Anglo Persian treaty continues 1 to be the topic of the day in Frencf and peace conferences circles, the | French discussing especially the prob able effect upon the French interests in Syria.
 The Echo De Paris. which is credit ed with refiecting the views Of the French peace delegation, publishes the full text of the Anglo Persian agree
 ment and in it's comment says:
 If the above stipulatfons do not
 constitute most complete protector
 ate. then words have lost their mean
 ing Doubtless nowhere is formal
 protectorate mentioned and douptless a clause announces the independence
 and full integrity of Persia, but the substance of the agreement will 1ool no one."
 A strong party in the French cham Der of deputies is advocating the ex- tension of French influence in Syria. Henry vTranklin Boullon has given notice to President Deschanel that he will interpellate the government on the question when the chamber meets again on August 26.
 The French press does use the word "protectorate" in connection with French influence in Syria. The papers argue that from time immem- orial France had had great interests in Syria and claim that until such time as Syria is able to govern herseIr France should be designated to af- ford her such financial help as she needs to help her through her period of formation.
 In this connection the papers are somewhat caustic in their comment on the news that Prince Feisal, son of the king of the Hedjez, is returning to Paris to resume his place at the head of the Arab delegation. They print reports that the prince is dis satisfied with the prospective Syrian settlement.
 Let Great Britain make a sign" says the Republioue Franchise" and Prince Feisal will submit. France is not used to be dealing with straw men. The conference believes 1t Is miracles in procrastin- ating and in postponing the settlement of difficulties instead of solving them Nothing embitters con 1icts more than to leave them in sds- i pense."
 The Fiargo says that the Anglo Persian agreement is equivalent to | protectorate over Persia and quotes | the Morning Post of London as say ing:
 aWere we not concerned in this matter we should say this was pro- -etcorate."
