The board has decided that all

Washington Agreement of
July, 1926, Approved
by Slim Margin
French Chamber Authorizes
President to Ratify Pact
With United States
PARIS. July 21 (Sunday)
(AP) The president of France
early today was authorized by the
chamber of deputies to ratify the
agreement for payment of war
debts to the United States.
The ratification vote was car
ried by the slim margin of eights
votes. The count was 300 in favor
and 292 against.
The 'measure must now come
before the senate but the majority
of the government has generally
been much stronger n that body.
It thus appeared certain that the
agreement concluded in Washing
ton in July, 192 6, would take ef
fect. The text of the bill, which the
government of Premier Raymond
Poincare had made a question of
confidence read:
Full Authority
Is Given President
"The president of the republic
is autnortzed to ratify the agree
ment concluded at Washington on
July 29, 1926, between the gov
ernment of the United States of
America and the government of
the French republic for the con
solidation and repayment in 62
annuities of the debts contracted
by Franc with the United States of
America.
The balloting brought to an end
11 days of stormy discussion in the
chamber in the course of which
the premier himself, until com
pletely exhausted, had spoken for
a total of 37 hours.
Former Minister Aristide Briand
had picked up the challenge of the
opposition, where the premier had
dropped it. He appealed to the
gratitude of the deputies for the
tremendous assistance the Ameri
ca armies had given France in
the world war and had declared
that these fresh forces reached

Russia and China, through offi

their loyalty to the Kellogg anti

each made it clear that this posi

overt acts by the other.
Commissar Rftdxutak, acting
head of, the Russian government
and Foreign Minister ,C. T. Wang,
of the Nationalist government, de
clared their nations had not for
gotten the obligations-of a signa
tory of the pact. Both'made their
peace pledges conditional on 'ab
stention of their opponents from
what Rudzutak described as "war
like acts."
Foreign Minister Wang said
that "any move on the part of the
Soviet to place troops within Man
churia will be viewed by the Chi

act of war."
