Deputy Moutet, supported by M. Painleve, moved an amendment devoting part of the Boxer indemnity to Franco-'binese educational institutions, but the motion was withdrawn upon M. Poincare's assurance tha' share in the profits of the future French Far Eastern financial institution were to be devoted to furthering Franco-Chinese intellectual co-operation,

The Chamber of Deputies Reporter M. Bokanovsk stated that although nothing had been decided yet, the refloating might be entrusted to a bankers' syndicate to which the Boxer indemnity would be assigned as a collateral for a loan.
