Briand, in reply, admitted his ignorance of the document, although, as Minister of the Interior, he was Marshal Foch’s chief, and worked with him four days of the week. He added that lie did not know how his colleague came into possession of the document, but it was a sorry state of affairs. Deputy Reibal remarked: “T simply did mv duty,” and the incident closed.
