discussion which followed seemed to
emphasize the practical disadvantages

fact that. if historians differ among

FRENCH NEWSPAPER
OBJECTS TO BILL
AIMED AT ALIENS
Measure Requires Permit for
Foreigner to Hold Real
Estate In France.

PARIS. Dec. 25.-(By \. P)-
The points in the earlier stages OF
the bill recently voted by the cham
Der Of deputies without discussion,
whereby foreigners cannot hold real
estate in France without special
permit from the government, are
discussed by the TemEes in an edit
orial. which declares:
1T is impossible that the senate
will adopt d bill so opposed TO the
real interests of France
The bill was introduced i'm the
chamber OF deputies some years ago.
when NJ Mhlerand was premier; at
that time it contained no reference
to exchange, but aimed only TO i'm
sure the security of France. Its
clauses affected only the frontier de-
partment. When it reached the
chambers committee on civil and
criminal legislation its scope was en-
larged TO coveF the whole of France.
The chambers hasty vote says
the Temps. was obtained by sur
prise; neither the minister of justice
nor the president OF the committee
on legislation and foreign affairs had
been made aware that it was in
scribed on the days agenda among
the bills on which a vote might be
taken if there was no debate"
The temps objected to the retro
activity of the bHl which, it asserts
is contrary to the fundamental prin-
cfpaFe pf LEGISLATION, and a 81 ri br1fi n g
of foreign opinion, and points out
that the price of real estate has fol-
lowed closely the fall i'm the value
Of francs. while the purchase of real
estate by foreigners brought 10
France and kept there large sums
Of money.
