No matter what happens to the

that the Volstead act may remain in

be held to still remain in force in
Washington after the repeal Of the

the chairman of the Senate District

without another try.
Nevertheless, a French spokesman
frankly asserted today that it "is an

suits"

over Germany's claim. agreeing that

out during a consultation with Norman

The French are not protesting this

The Americans have the impression
the French do not want an adjourn

Some delegates feel Germany may
make concessions concerning its demand
