1AFTSPR0P0SALDISCUSSED
President's Plan For Universal Arbi
tration Debated In French Chambe"
of Deputies.
Paris, Jan. 17. President Taft's
plan for universal arbitration and his
proposed arbitration treaty with Great
Jtritain were the subjects of a debate
in the chamber, of deputies. Jean
Jaures, the Socialist leader, talking on
the plans of the American executive,
invited the French government to as
sociate Itself with the United States
In tho proposal for unlimited arbitra
tion treaties.
M. Pichon, the foreign minister, in
replying to the Socialist, leader, oi
posed M. Jaures' lnvitntiov. He stated
that he believed the adoption of the
motion would imperil the very prin
clple of International arbitration.
Such treaties, the foreign minister
said, always excluded the questions
touching the vital interests of national
honor President Taft's proposal, con
tinued M. Pinchon, by which M. Jaures
had been inspired, was not likely to
be adopted by the United States sen
ate. Tho American people, he said, did
not seem to have confidence In the
efficacy of Taft's proposal, for the first
occupation of the Americans is the de
velopment of the army and navy for
the protection of the Panama canal.
The French government, concluded
the foreign minister, was prepared to
take up negotiations with the United
States on the lines of those with Den
mark. GREW OF MISSING
