The problem of reducing it re- quires constant consigeration, and mea- sures were taken, which, it is hoped, may prevent the charges of unreasonable prices for neces:zary articles’”’. The ses- sion was marked by the passage of am unprecedenied number of domestic bills dealing with reconstruction in all its as- pects. An important measure was passed affecting the conditions of labour.”’ Paris, Dec. 23rd.—The Chamber of Deputies today voted eonfidence in the Government by 458 to 71. The vote, which carried approval of P.emier Cle- menceau’s programme, was taken after the Chamber listened to the Premier’s declaration on the determination of the Allies to erush Bolshevism, his confidence in the Anglo-Franco- American Paets, his prediction of a solution of the Fiume Problem, and his understanding with Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain. M. Clemenceau told the Chamber that Great Britain and President Wi.son had offer d ‘‘Military protection to France. Certain points in the Peace Treaty had been questioned but there were no seri- ous objections to the military agreement. The Premier added that the latest indi- cations, were that the Fiume Situation would be solved ‘“‘anc then oaly can we breathe freely. M. Clemenceau ap- pealed to the Chamber to work hard and talk litcde. He said that the Cabinet the end of the remaining weeks of its tenure of office, would give its resignation to the President and added. ‘‘lt will not be an exit by one door to enter another.”” Asked by the Socialist Deputy. M. Marcel Cochin, if he ought not to give the coun- try explanations of the Treaty and the Anglo-American Militarypacts, M. Cle- menceau said. ‘'[ did not ask for these military guarantees’’ Thev were offer- ed by Great Britain and President Wil- son. Ido not believe they will be ques- tioned. Although certain points of the Treaty have been discussed, there is no serious objections to the guarantees. During the discussion of the London Conference, Ex-Premier Barthou ques- tioned M. Clemenceau on Russia, and the Premier said ‘‘that had been discuss- ed previously’’ but added. ‘I will tell you the two principal decisions have taken. Not only will we not make peace but we won’t compromise with the Gov- ernment of the Soviets. W+¢ have de- cided that we will be the allies of all peo- ple attacked by Boishevism’’. M’ (Cle- menceau added that the Allies would maintain a barbed wire arounl Russia, notably by banding the Poles, Reumani- ans and others along the frontier. Re- suming his discussion of the London con- ference, he’ said. ‘‘Mr. Llovd George told me if we reach an understanding, ST. CRO 7 X A I> there will be no more war in Europe’. I replied ‘‘whatever happens you can count not only on me, but upon the whole of France’’. Regarding the situation in the Adriatic, the Premie~ said. > ‘‘The Fiume Question has been agonizing. Italy promised Fiume to the Jugo-Slavs, but went back on her promise. France, England and the United States have sought a solution, and that latest indi- cations are that it:will be final.y reached, only when this is solved can we com- mence to breathe freely’. @ % .
