Hubbard, a radical member, moved '• urgency, with the view of stamping M. de Frcycinet's Bill dealiug with religious societies as a direct attack on the Church." M. Clemenceau supported the motion, and M. Freycinat opposed it, the latter disavowing thut the measure was intended as an attack on the Church.
