HerriOt COnfOunds
Opponents in Row
On Holy See Relations

Paris, Jan. 26-(By 4. P)-Premier
Herriot scored heavi'-. in the cham
Der of deputies today against the
advocates of continuance of diplo-
matte relations with the Holy See
by recognizing ruling of TIE caun-
sci Of state that Alsace- Lorraine
was still under the regime of the Ma
poleonic concordat between Paris and
Rome and """npting the eventuality
for appointing representative Of the
recovered provinces 70 the Vatican
should circumstances demand.
The premier's good grace and di-
plomacy in accepting .he ruling Of
the state council took the opposition
by surprise, removing as it did one
of their strongest arguments against
the suppression of the French. en-
bassy to the Vatican, namely, the
status of Alsace- Lorraine.
"The regime Of the concordat will
continue to be applied to Alsace-
Lorraine until parliament has defin-
itely decided otherwise M. Herriott
said. ''The modus vivendi was east
ly found and we will apply it loyalty
and sincerely"
1t Is now regarded as certain that
the chamber will vote for suppression
of the credits for the diplomatic mis-
sion to the Vatican by the regular
governmental majority.
The deputies from AlSace-Lorraine
were greatly pleased over Premier
Herriot's announcement of the rul-
ing of the council of state with re-
gard to tie Napoleonic concordat.
and some OF them expressed them
selves as grateful to tho premier for
making the councils decision known
as soon as it was taken.
