The recriminations of the Minis terialists and the Right did not improve matters, and when a vote was taken the Right voted against the Government practically en bloc.

The situation is now the gravest since the Senate and -Chamber were at logger- heads, and no stable majority is apparent in the Chamber for any policy.

PROTRACTED - DISCUSSION.

LATER...

The defeat of the Government on & crucial point was the upshot of "& protracted discussion on the Finance Bill which yesterday started in the morning and continued until 6.30 this morning.

The afternoon deliberations on the ten articles left honours fairly evenly shared by the Finance Minister, M. Doumer, some of his proposals being adopted and others,being rejected.

A battle raged over the Radical amend ment proposing the establishment of a Government monopoly for the importa tion and sals of oil and sugar.

The Chamber by 262 to 234 notes re- fused to shelve the project in accordance to take action. A two-thirds majority with the Government Finance Com in the Assembly is necessary for admittee's request, but finally rejected it by mitting new members, but, as is general-20 to 159 votes after M. Doumer had le known, a unanimous nomination by opposed the creation of a monopoly in the Council subsequently approved by oil, which he pointed out was a solely the Assembly is required to secure a per-

foreign commodity. manent seat. The consideration of this matter will come before the Council when the Assembly has notified Ger- many's admission to the League.

THE SAAS QUESTION.

It is considered of good augar for the forthcoming Genera meetings, that a preliminary settlement has been reached on the delicate Sear Commission pro blem. The countries principally concern- ed hars come to an agreement whereby Mossitur Rault, the present Chairman of the Commission, will retire and his place will be taken by Mr. Stephens, the Canadian member of the Commission The new Chairman will be acceptable to the Saar-population and to the German Government. More than once tributes have been paid to his disinterested ad- ministration. Not the least ignificant feature of this preliminary agreement, is that the German Government have taken part in the negotiations leading up to it, as if Germany already were n member of the League Council. The leading members of the Council have in this matter acted on the assumption that Germany's election was a foregone con. clusion. In addition to the appointment of a new Chairman the Council will be naked to endorse other changes, in the Saar Administration which have been agreed upon by France..!

SWEDAN OPPOSE. ENLARGEMENT.

STOCKHOLM, March 6th. The leaders of all the parties in the Rikstag have emphatically endorsed on the eve of his departure for Geneva, statement by the Under Foreign Minister, that the Swedish delegates at the League Assembly will oppose any proposal to re-organise the Council in the course of the March session, apart from the admision of Germany.
