Debate in Chamber of Deputies
Seems as Lengthy as That
in L. S. Senate

Paris, Aug. &c. (By the Associated
Press).-The result Of the first days de-
bate on the ratification of the peace treaty
by the French Chamber of Deputies
caused optimistic forecasts of prompt
ratification to vanish
Only three speakers of thirty-ono schcd-
uled to address the chamber were heard,
Deputies Chappcdelainc. Raiberti and
Fourier, each Of whom spoke for more
than an hour. If the present speed con-
tinues the treaty will not be ratified be-
fore September G. and perhaps later, as
other orators are likely to be enrolled
on the list as the discussion progresses.
The government seemed anxious to
| hurry the proceedings lnterpellations on
Hungarian affairs and the high cost of
| living were postponed at the request of
Foreign Minister pichon and Minister of
Provisions Nouiens until the treaty has
been ratified. Premier C.emenceau and all
the ministers remained on the bench
throughout the session
The debate on the ratification of the
German peace treaty by tho French
Chamber of Deputies has been awaited
with great interest as the discussion
| comes at the time the United States
senate Is considering the same subject
with many of the same issues before the
two ratifying bodies.
| the chief opposition in the French
I chamber, however, is not against the
League OF Nations as n whole, or the
effect of article ten and other provisions,
but Is mainly based on the feeling that
the treaty and the league do not give
France assured military protection
against another unprovoked attack from
Germany The element Identified with
Marshal Foch has been mainly unfolding
! lhis view and Leon Bourgeois, the
French delegate on the League Of Ma
tons commission. has urged that addi-
| tohaI provision should be made for a
| stronger military safeguarding OF
| French interests.
1t was this sentiment which brought
apout the signing of second treaty by
which Great Britain and the United
states undertake to come to the assist
ahce or France in case of an unpro-
Voked attack from Germany. This latter
treaty seeks TO provide the prompt mill
lary protection Of France against attack
whlch the peace treaty did not provide
according To the Wow of these VINO are
opposing It's ratification.
