PREMIER BRAND
lie Demands Vote of Confidence
as Condition of His Attending
London Conference

Iarls, Feb. (By the Associated
Fress).-Ihe chamber of deputies
'ohlsht gave vote of confidence to
the government, demanded by Pre-
mler BRAND as a condition of his 90
ing to the London conference. The
vote was 3S7 TO 125.
MS however, was only after four
uayS strenuous debate on the rep
arations agreement reached bv the
supreme council at Paris which was
subjected to detailed and trenchant
criticism by almost a score of speak-
ers, particularly NJ. Klotz and NJ.
Tardieu.
Inc agreement was ratified by a
vote OF 395 to S3, although many of
the deputies abstained from voting.
Two members Of the former Clemen-
ceau administration objected to the
Paris agreement on the ground that
1t was an annex or protocol to the
versailles treaty, which permitted
the reduction of what was due to
France, without her receiving any
equivalent compensation.
Nj. klotz quoted figures to support
his argument and considered that
his speech was responsible for so
or 60 abstentions which reduced the
nlnistry's majority. That majority
however, was never for a moment in
doubt, although the temper of the
house was often petulant and inter-
ruptions and minor disturbances
were frequent.
NJ. BRAND, in his closing remarks.
expressed regret that America which
had given so many proofs of it's cor
diality to France was not present in
the allied councils, but he recognized
hat change of administration was
long and important operation.
When the chamber resumed its Sit
ting after dinner, the premier an
nounced that unless he obtained a
vote of confidence, he would resign.
He ended the long debate by declar-
ing:
THE fate of Germany lies in her
own hands. Should she, after the
first of May, 1881, refuse to fulfil her
pledges, the French government can
be relied upon to take all measures
20 make her"
