measure.

The Senate passed the measures without any modification, by 256 votes to S, so that the extra session of the Chamber, which was held at

eight o'clock in the morning, was unnecessary and was only attended by about 30 faithful Deputies. Cor- reet figures for the Chamber gave

the votes as 448 to 18, with 152

abstentions, including the Socialists and 18 of the Marin group,

QUESTIONS WOMEN ASK.

"The United States can declare war by a majority vote, but can- thirds vote of the Senate. I do not think there is a country in the world where the sentiment for peace is stronger than the United States."

Questioned regarding his views on the extension of women's fran- effect upon such questions as chise in Britain and its probable peace, Colonel House said that it was too early to make any pre-

diction.

he added, "is to recall the effect "The only thing one can do," of general suffrage in the United States, where it was introduced in 1920. There has been no ap preciable difference as the result of the women's vote. They have usually voted on party laes. As a rule women are for peace mea- sures, and in America they large- ly are for prohibition."

Colonel House believes that. friction which has arisen between certain Continental States as a re sult of the peace treaties will eventually disappear.

"You cannot have the dissolu- tion of great Empires and the division of some of their terri- tories without friction following for many years," he said. "This position will right itself by the countries affected being tolerant towards one another not only in such questions as language and education, but in the regulation of Customs tariffs."
