Paris, Feb. 6.-The supreme war
council will meet at Versailles on
Friday to take measures to impose
on Germany the full will of the al
lies" says the Matin, because of the
unwillingness of Germany TO carry
out the armistice terms except
under certain conditions.
There has been change in the
attitude Of Germany, according to
the newspaper, and it is being mani
tested by arrogance toward the en-
tente.
Germany is making utmost efforts
to have the allies believe that she
is nearing bankruptcy declared
Raoul Peret, chairman of the bud
get commission of the chamber of
deputies and former minister of JUS
tice in discussing today the finan-
cal problems facing the peace con-
ference. The first measures of the
conference along finacial lines, he
AIDED, should be to take measures to
prevent Germany from declaring
itself an insolvent debtor or a
bankrupt state.
Demand Pay to Limit.
Then" Peret continued, I'VE
should Immediately fix the amount
of our account against Germany,
which it must be made to pay to
thG full limit Of her financial Aabil-
ity without consideration for its
feelings. II will be time enough
then to decide about the method Of
payment. II may pay either in
capital Immediately or in yearly in
stallments.
Il do not believe that Germany at
the present time is in position to pay
a large amount in cash. We must
not demand from her too heavy
payment now, so as not to'place it
in a position where it might argue
that we are strangling and killing
the goose that is to lay the golden
eggs.
Whether the installments we
shall demand from Germany be 20,-
30,000,000,0O0 or 5O,0O0,-
100000 Of francs yearly, depends
entirely on our decision after an in
vestigat:on to what amount Germany
will be able to pay. These pay
ments would be guaranteed by
customes tariffs decided on at
the conference. reserving for our
selves the right to raise such tariffs
should Germany fail to meet her OBJ
legations.
Would Create Financial Society.
This would act as a means Of
coercion because / do not believe
that we should occupy Germany
with a military force until its debt
is paid. 1t is my opinion that once
our armies of occupation return
from Germany, all measures should
be taken to make reoccupation un-
Il believe in the creation of
financial society of nations and that
all expenses incurred by each ma
ton should be put in common and
tax levied upon all until
such debts are paid. Neutrals should
be included in this financial society
of nations, especially those neutrals
who prohted by the war. As a mat
ter of fact, we were fighting for the
neutrals as we'll as for ourselves, for
had the German pan-Germanist
dream been realized it would not
have been long before Holland,
Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Switz-

have felt the weight of Germany's
iron fist"
