CRISIS IN FRANCE
NEW CABINET MAY TAKE OFFICE DEBT AGREEMENT BATTLE (United. F.A. — By Telegraph — Copyright) (United Service) Reed. 9 a.m. LONDON, Sunday. A French political crisis has followed the Chamber’s reluctance to ratify unconditionally the debts agreement with Britain and the United States. The "Daily News” Paris correspondent says the formation of another Cabinet with a new Prime Minister seems the likeliest exit from the deadlock. The most alarming feature in the present crisis is the big effort which is being made to mobilise the general public against France's debt settlements. Royalist agitators are especially active, and distributed throughout the country thousands of leaflets denouncing any “policy abandonment” alike as regards war debts and the Rhine occupation. Warnings that refusal to ratify the debts agreement would be tantamount to a declaration of national bankruptcy, probably leading to United States reprisals, are completely unheeded by the hotheads.
