Paris, Oct. 29.--After ten days
of intensive debate on internal and
international questions, the BRAND
ministry obtained vote of contl-
dence from 339 of the SOS deputies
in the chamber-just 55 per cent,
Two hundred and forty-nine depu-
ties refused their confidence, 176
voting in the negative and II abb
staining from voting at all. This
was a heavy loss to the ministry
since last June, when it received
a vote OF 80 per cent.
AS was entrusted with the OPP
position to NJ. BRAND, representing
one-third Of the chamber, my read
ers will not be surprised If the fol-
lowing recital of facts leads to the
same conclusion l reached on the
floor.
On foreign policy my thesis was
outlined in these dispatches last
Sunday. ! have thought and still
think that before going to Wash
ington to undertake the high task
OF international conciliation set by
President Harding; the govern
ment should closely have exam
ined with Great Britain the ques-
tions which have caused so many
differences between us during the
last two years, and should have
formulated certain clear principles
safely uniting the European ma
tions which were the victims of
German imperialism.
Premier BRAND did not give q
clear answer to either question.
On the contrary, maneuver inn

France uphold Japan against the
United States at Washington. /
Immediately replied to the fabrica-
tion. which the text Of my speech
disprores -ssswel as my past rec
ord and asked my friend, Ambas-
sador Herrick, to transmit my de-
NAL to his government.
France must work whole-heart-
edly with the United States at
Washington but the United States,
France and Great Britain have
common interest in the face of
menaces which may arise from
eastern Europe and Asia in pre-
pairing with Japan, their war time
ally, bases Of durable understand
ing. That Is President Harding's
very purpose.
On internal affairs the debate in
the parliament here is just begin
ming. 1t will continue not only be-
fore parliament but before the peo-
pie. What / asked was that the
government follow the mandate
given in the elections of 1919.
These were a smashing triumph
for the moderate republicans over
the socialist and these radicals who
had always worked with the social
ist. In administering this rebuke
to the party which had government
almost uninterruptedly since 1902
the country remembered that that
party reduced our military re-
sources in 1905 and 1907; that it
combatted the three-years' service
law In 1913 and in the following
year demanded its repeal on the
very eve of the German attack.
The country remembered also that
Caillaux and Malvy, convicted of
criminal failures regarding the ma
tionai defense, long were chiefs of
the radical socialist party. That is
how the immense majority in the
chamber of deputies happened to
be hostile to the socialist and their
ra dical allies. BY strange para
dox this majority upholds the con-
troll of the socialist-radical groups
Until the age of 35 BRAND be-
longed to the revolutionary social
lists and his sympathies still are
with the extreme list. His minister
of the interior is a radlcal-socialist.
Almost everywhere in France the
governments local representatives
are from the ranks of the party
