CHIEF SUBJECT
Parliament And Government
Expect to be Occupied 4
Weeks With Problem

PARIS. June 26-tP-The war
debts which France owes 10 America
and Great Britain today seemed
likely to be the principal preoccu-
patton Of both the government and
parliament for the next four weeks.
Facing the long fight, the govern
ment found It's position none too
strong, for while winning on two
votes Of confidence on allied ques-
tions last night and this morning,
its majority on one was the small
est in the cabinets history. The
first vote was POI to 2G6, the second,
SAT to 207.
It was increasingly evident that
with the great number or politicians
anxious TO have their say on n
subject. notifications Of the debt ac-
cords hardly could m~aterialiZe more
than a very few days before August
i. on that date, unless the debts
accords have been ratified France
Will be obliged to pay the United
States $40. 600. 1000 covering the sur
plus war stocks bill.
Premier POincare already has
talked through four long sessions Of
the finance and foreign affairs COM
mittees on the debts. For the fifth
session today he had prepared a re-
view of the history OF r%eparations,
and Il was expected he would need a
sixth hearing to make a comparison
oT the Young and Dawes plans.
