Paris, Dec. 12-France intends to
demand ;it the peace conference:
l. The permanent Incorporation
without picbiscite, of Alsace and Lor-
ra;ne. with the frontiers as they existed
in 1914, before the Vienna congress
trimmed down the French borders
after Napoleon's fail. ~
2. France proposes military occupa-
ton OF the left bank ofythe Rhine until
Germany has paid the war damages.
which is expected to take her con-
siderable period ohtime.
5. France will ash permanent mill
,tary guarantees against Germany US
ing the left hank of the, Rhine for con-
centration OF troops against France.
Many Frenchmen. indeed. regard the
Rhine as the real frontier against Ger
many along the rivers entire length.
but there is little public sentiment for
permanent annexation of the Palat-
mate tho it has been French national
dream for many centuries.
The Palatinate is that territory lying
between Alsace- Lorraine and the Rhine
and is at present part of Bavaria. 1t
comprises nearly 5000 square miles and
has a population of about 100000 per
sons.
The creation Of neutral buffer
state has been discussed. but it is un
derstood this plan has4been practically
since Belgium desires the
Incorporation of the Walloon districts
and possibly Luxemburg. with the view
to forming a continuous barrier against
Germany.
There is growing sentiment in France
for the idea az STIMULATING at the peace
conferenee|tha no German soldier ever
be allowed to cross the Rhine again, in
uniform ma cSrinss Thus. y is believed
Paris would be pertnanent1y safeguard
ed against German attacks.
!. The feeling appears to be that until
Germany gives permanent proof that
she has undergone a change Of heart.
guarantees against German
aggression are absolutely necessary.
