...Doumer (TIME. March 15); Loucheur (TIME, Dec. 21); Painleve (TIME, Nov. 30); Caillaux (TIME, Nov. 9); De Monzie (TIME, April 20, 1925); Clementel (TIME. April 13, 1925).

It was considered certain that they will stretch the constitutional limits of their amending power to the uttermost. Presumably when the bill goes...
