By the Associated Press. PARIS, March 17.—The appearance | today of Premier Poincare and Albert | sarraut, minister of the colonies, be- {fore the joint foreign affairs and army and navy commissions w {desired explanations of the treaties jand undertakings entered upon by jFrance at the Washington armament conference, brought about one of the i |stormiest meetings of the comm inlonx in years. M. Sarraut head the French delegation in W ton after the departurc of M. then French premier. The French delega |ton was bitterly att jbecause of its alleged failure to represented at the preliminary de- s leading up to the four- 3. Sarra pressed himself as per- fectly satisfied with the result of the h conference as France was concerned. 1 vigorous against the report that the French deleg: gone to Washington without prepa tion. France, prepared as 4 |been shown b described M. Poine his statements. He did not adversel at the same time b as not over- ic in his approval of thi e by Premicr Briand. When challenged by M. Andre Tardieu, w said France had suffered the de est humiliation of many centu being excluded from i@ liberations, M. Poincare replicd: am not the sor for the French delegation. 1 had nothing to do with the shaping of its policies or the naming of its members.” Pledges for Future. Later in the discussion, Deputy Es- cudier, a member of the navy com- mission, said’ he regretted the fact that France's naval program had been “so badly misrepresented.” To this, M. Poincare replied Sarraut has told you of the past. Iam speak- ing to you of the future. Never shall France attend another conference where she will not be treated on the same footing with other countrics.” It was tacitly agreed between the interpellators and the government that there should be no discussions in the open chamber of deputies on the Washington compacts before the Senate ratifies or rejects them. The probability of amendments being made in the agreements by the Amer- ican Senate was taken into considera- tion in reaching this conclusion. A majority of the commissions seemed disposed to postpone the matter i definitely, but while giving M. Poin- | care their confidence, the hope was | freely expressed that ‘the government would not make ratification of tha Washington pacts a question of con- fidence. ‘Will Submit Treaties. An official communication issued after the meeting said that M. Poin- care declared that all the conven- tions signed will be submitted to the chambers of parliament soon as they are ratified at Washington, and that the juridical application of the Root resolution on submarine war- fare will be examined into .at the conference at The Hague at the same time as the question concerning all methods of warfare are dealt with. ! The procecdings before commission theoretically are secret, and communications give only the various outlines of them. That of tonight says M. Sarraut gave a most coum- plete ,explanation of the conditions under’ which the Washington confer- ence was organized, the nature of the discussions and the character of the treaties regarding the Pacific and limitation of naval armament and the Root _resolution with regard to China. It adds that finally M. Tardieu and thirteen deputies, whose names are given, asked questions to which Premier Poincare replied. The com- missions thanked M. Poincare and M. Sarraut for the clearness and frankness of their explanations. The French senate, by a vote of 235 to 2, today adopted the naval program calling for abandonment of the coni- struction of warships of the Norman- {die_type, the transformation of the dreadnaught Bearn into a mother ship for airplanes and the laying down of certain light units. | PROPOSE $100,000,000 THEATER COMBINATION was more guarded in s e | Erlanger and Shubert Interests Ne- gotiating With Dillingham, ‘Woods, Cohan and Others.
