FRANCO-GERMAN TREATY.
1» ' RATIFIED BY SENATORIAL COMMITTEE. By Telegraph.— Frew Association.— Copyright. (Received January 27, 8 a.m.) PARIS, 26th January. The Principal Senatorial Committee has ratified the Franco-German Treaty by 16 votes to 2. M. Clemenceau voted against the ratification. One of the most important points in the Franco-German settlement over Morocco is that the two Powers agree to refer any disputes arising out of the compact to arbitration. Germany recognises France's full protectorate in Morocco, and her right to occupy, in agreement with the Shereefian Government, Moroccan territory by military forces. The French Government will safeguard the economic equality and commercial liberty provided for by treaties. Germany receives a large portion of the French Congo, giving her access to the Congo River and the sea. France receives from Germany a small slice of territory in the Cameroons, giving , her direct access to Lake Chad.
