BRAND ASKS FRENCH =
SENATE TO CONTINUE
EMBASSY At VATICAN

Paris, Jan. 22.-(By A. P.)-For-
mer Premier BRAND, speaking be-
fore the chamber of deputies this
afternoon for the first time since his
resignation during the Cannes con-
ference, in January, 1922. made a
stirring plea for the continuance Of
the French embassy at the Vatican.
M. BRAND said he was going to
limit his speech to the question of
the Vatican, not from q political
viewpoint-for he considered his
political life finished-and said it
would be cowardly for the man who
re-established the French embassy
at the Vatican not to oppose its sus-
pension. He begged Premier Her
riot, while there was still time, not
to take the irreparable step.
The former premier argued that
the Holy See was center OF inter-
national activities that France could
not afford to neglect.
1--WE are leaving Rome at the mo-
ment the others are arriving" de-
clared M. BRAND. 1.-The last time ]
was in Rome could not help hear
ing talk that the United States had
allowed 1t to become common talk
that they are considering how they
could arrange to be represented at
the Holy See.
You may withdraw your appro-
priations for an embassy at the Vati-
can but what would you say If your
ambassador there found his appro-
priations elsewhere and intended to
remain? l am justified in warning
you that such thing is possible
and even being prepared"
These words Of the former pre-
mier caused a sensation in the cham
Der and were interpreted by the dep.
uties as meaning that the Catholic
party would furnish the funds for
the embassy if necessary.
when you hand the papal nuncio
his passport" NJ. BRAND continued
you will bring upon yourselves the
protests of every chancellory. What
will the 30,OO0,OOO Catholics in the
United States say. What reaction
will your action have on their con-
sciences as Catholics?
There are three internationals
! First, is that at Moscow-the red
We are represented there. Second
Is that Of Geneva, for peace. We
are there. Should we not be repre-
scented at the third International

SEN. BORAH DOUBTS
FRANCE PURPOSES TO
PAY DEBT TO j. S.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The real
problem with respect to the
French debt Is that of reputation,
Chairman Borah of the foreign re-
lations committee declared today in
the Senate.
Replying to the speech in the
French chamber Of deputies yester-
day by Deputy Marin, Senator Borah
said no one could read that debate
or the French press without con.
Guiding that "acquittal' of the debt
is now the issue, that mo part of it
is to be settled; that no part of it
is to be paid.
Il do not know whether it is eX-
actly just to say that we are row
discussing the question Of absolute
reputation but in view of the fact
that for five years there has been no
offer of settlement. no payment Of
principal and no Payment of inter-
est; In view of the further fact that
no specific provision for settlement
has ever been made. that it is not
apparently now intended. as the
press of France and as the speakers
upon behalf of those people now in
dictate. l assume that that is the real
problem before U.S."
Quoting at length from M. Mar
ms address in the course of which
the French deputy said it would be
iniquitous for the United States to
collect its $4.OU0.0OO.OOO debt from
France Senator Borah added that
there was no justification for the eff
forts to place the United States in
the position of an "exacting cred
itor."
1T has displayed none OF the
qualities of an exacting creditor" he
declared. "On the other hand, I
undertake to say that the settlement
with Great Britain is the most gen.
erous proposition for the settlement
OF international debts that can be
found anywhere in history"
