mittees on finance and on foreign
affairs fumbled with the question of
ratification of the Mellon-Berenger
debt accord during the week.
Both committees, by a narrow
margin of votes and with many alb
stentionS. voted to incorporate the
text Of the ratification bill a safe
guard clause to the effect that
French payments would depend on
fulfillment by Germany of its OBJ
legations on reparations.
Premier Poincaire's government is
firmly opposed to this measure,
though will to accept such a clause
as an annex to the bill. The pre-
mier will stake the life of his cab
met on the question and a real battle
may be expected before August L.
Two cabinets resigned in different
quarters Of the globe. Baron Tan
aka's conservative government in
Japan gave way to a liberal ministry
under Yugo Hamagachi. In Por-
tugal Premier de Frietas and his
ministry resigned because of dis
agreement among themselves.
A new Spanish constitution, which
makes Spain a constitutional mon
archy with Roman Catholicism as
the state religion, was presented to
the national assembly by Premier
Primo de Rivera's government. 1t
