ing matters still outstanding with Ger
many, which is to begin January 1e. It
had been understood that the opposi-
ton would delay its attack so as to
give M. Leygues free hand in the AL
lied conference, but many Deputies had
changed their minds at the end Of the
opening session Of the chamber to-day.
Deputies Aubriot and Raynaud, who
are the leading Tnterpellators on the
question of foreign policy, endeavored
to quiet matters by agreeing to delay
their questioning of the government.
but Deputy Landes Deyris announced
that he would insist upon interpellat-
ing the Cabinet. He Is credited with
strong support.
Determined to Force Issue
1t is generally considered that the
government can hardly afford to risk
such discussion now, as it seems GER
tain that the debate would be extended
to foreign affairs, but the opposition is
said to be determined to force the issue
in any case.
M. Leygues, it was learned this eve-
ming, induced MN. Raynaud and
Aubroit to postpone their interpella-
ply to their questions on the eve of
the meeting of the Allied premiers.
A new factor in the opposition's dis
satisfaction with the government de-

choice of successor for Henri Ricard.
