PARIS, July 20 (I.N.S.).-
The American Legion was
dragged into the debate on
Franco-American war debt
ratification in the Chamber Of
Deputies today.
The violent battle between the
reservationist and anti-reservationist
factions is expected to come to an
end some time tonight with a vote
upon the ratification measure.
During the discussions Deputy
Planche declared that the interna-
tional cornbatants congress in War
saw in 1925 adopted resolutions that
war debts were matter of justice
and therefore open to dispute II
found unjust.
Frances Best Friends
THE American Legion, however,
never adopted that resolution" cried
Deputy Marcel Heraud, of Paris,
leaping to his feet and pounding
his desk for emphasis.
Their constitution forbids their
mixing in politics. But every
member of the American Legion Is
a good friend of France. They
are the best ambassadors Of the
French cause. They are the only
Americans who really understand
us.
II refuse to sit in the chamber and
hear this fine body Of men SLAM
dered."
The chamber. after night ses,

ist faction were con fident Premier
Poincare will be victorious in his de-
mand that the Mellon.Bereuger war
debt agreement would be ratified by

would not be written into the text OF
the ratification measure.
It is anticipated there will be reser-
Vations, but that they will be adopted
separately and independently and
not made part of the bill ratifylng
the war debt accord. :,
The reservationists wanted condl'
tions written into the war oepI
agreement specifying that France
would pay to the United States only
so long as Germany paid reparations
to France.
