In his letter of resignation Philippe Berthelot admits having sent the cable, which, according to his ene- mies, lays him open to the charge of having abused his official position in order to ald his brother’s fipancial schemes, He adds that “while fully Justified in spirit, like those addressed to the Far East and London on de- mand of the consortium formed by the Goyernment which preceded yours, it “ts open to criticism in the letter, be- cause I ought to have submitted it to you despite the urgency.” M. Berthelot's departure, which 1s a most unpleasant Christmas present for Premier Briand, leaves a gap which it will be difficult to fill. He Is the only man at the Qual d'Orsay who had dealt with the Versailles Treaty since the beginning, having served under four Premiers, with Clemen- ceau, Millerand, Leygues and Briand. He is reputed to know the Versailles Treaty more clearly than any other man, having been in every conference since 1919. His quitting will probab- ly lead to many changes {p the Foreign Office and is certain to in- fluence the forthcoming Cannes con- ference of Premiers In the Chamber to-day Premier Briand is likely to be seriously harassed, the main question being: If-M.
