 Continuing his address. NJ, Dubois asserted that the reparation commits sion, by virtue of the treaty could go over the Dawes plan and impose new obligations on Germany. The Lon don conference in reality amounts to an abdication," he avowcd.
 The premier retorted that France for years had obtained almost noth- ing from Germany.

Didn't she obtain satisfaction on deliveries in kind and transfers"'

 The answer of M. Dubois that "What Germany has paid to preceding governments represents much more than Premier Herriot has obtained" provoked such g tumult that M Du- bcis left the Rostrum in anger and the session pss suspended.
