Paris, Nov. 13.
'The Chamber's debate or foreign' political questions to-day culminate '4d in the eagerly anticipated speech by Foreign Minister Aristide Briand, whose appearance on the rostrura evoked storms of tumultuous applause from the benches of the Left and Cectre and whose pas tionate plea for a continuation of the present policy was interspersed with volleys of cheers.
The speech was chiefly devoted to France's velations with Germany where developments, he declared, had disappointed him like—many: Frenchmen although it was not greatly to be wondered at that Germany's three and a half million unemployed in their desperation had no groat sympathies for France and her former Allies, Alt this however, the Foreign Minister continued, was no proof of any lack of foresight on his part. France would continue to work for peace and he was prepared to vas cate the Foreign Ministry betsra changing his policy.
"The Versailles treaty has itt good and bad pointe and it is possible to ignore its clauses wh' confer upon Germ: certain rights as for instance article 19 of* the League of Covenant under which she may demand ths reopening of certain issues which would be synonymous with immediate revision of the Versai'les treaty, he said.'
