Briand Masterful in Debating French Financial Plan
Paris January 27 AP The first day of debate in the chamber of deputies shows premier Briand adept at steering the discussion. He plans to press leftist demands, substituting their 101 articles for the finance minister Doumer's 14, aiming to ridicule their proposals and the unpopular Gaston tax. In a witty dig he notes tax payers are voters, underscoring the political tone of the session. Meanwhile Paris merchants along Rue Auber raise 500000 francs to retire floating debt, with over fifty streets organizing similar efforts.

Mrs Woodrow Wilson attended the cap itol galleries as the discourse intensified with Opposition notes about Klan Catholic lines and Catholic Knights of Columbus. The day featured Moses Lenroot Borah Pepper Reed Underwood and Stephens arguing for and against a reservation that would bar enforcement of court decrees under certain conditions.
