OUSTRIC COMMISSION'S
DECISION.
Paris, Feb. 15. The Oustrie Commission has voted to send M. Raoul Perot, M. Bone Besnard, M. Gaston Vidal and. M. Albert Favro, and, if necessary others, at prosent unnamed, before the High Court that is the Senate sitting in a judicial capacity.
All the four named, are accused of acting contrary to their duty as public servants dr of other corrupt practices.
:
M. Raoul Peret is a Sonator who has held various Cabinet offices,
Minister of including that of Justice, in the last Tardieu Cabinet, and was President of the Chamber of Deputies during the Parliament. of 1920 to 1924.
M. Rene Besnard served for some years as French Ambassador in Rome, until recallod a couple years ago.
of
Both men are Radical-Socialista In politics and highly successful members of the Paris bar.
M. Gaston Vidal has been Deputy and Under-Secretary of State and was sporting editor of the Journal, and M. Albert Favre was a func tionary, holding high rank before ho left the civil service, first for
nces.
Claraber and then for Busk
It is presumed that the Chamber of Deputies will follow the decision of its commission and indict the accused before the High Court, but it seems at present uncertain whe- ther the Senate will consent to try them. It can refuse and has done so in fairly recent cases.
one
There are at present two currents
Senate: of opinion in the among opponents of the accused, against trying them on the ground that excessive lenity will be shown to them by political supporters in the Senate; the other, among their friends, in favor of trying them on the ground that men condemned by the High Court can, like M. Caillaux and M. Malvy come back to public life, while there le no return after a condemnation at the assizes which would probably be the only alternative.
The decision of the Commission
For further particulars apply to is, however, approved by most of
