EARLY RATIFICATION LIKELY. “GERMAN PROVOCATION.” (United Press Association—Copyright.) PARIS, March 10. It is understood that an attempt will he made to rush the Franco-Soviet pact through the Senate on March 12 without a debate. It is stated that many Senators who previously wished to delay or opposed the ratification of the pact to rob Herr Hitler of even this excuse for treaty breaking, are now prepared to support it as a reply to “German, provocation.” M. Fiandin is reported to have assured M. Potemkin (Soviet Ambassador in Paris) that the pact will be fully effective before the week-end.
