SOCIALISTS IN
 FRANCEPLEASED
 W|THPEACEPLA

PARIS, April Havas)-Premier Clemenceau told a deputation of the radical socialist group which called upon him today, that the question of reparation by Germany had been set tied among the allies a few hours pre- ViOusly, on a basis that would satisfy the desires of the deputation as these had been presented to him and that the same could be said for the nego- tiations concerning the Sarre valley.
 The deputation was headed by Dep uty Rene Renoult who set forth to the premier that the group considered it of great importance that the league of nations should be organized in such a tempt against the security of the world and the independence of it's people. The group, said it's spokesman, de- manded no less hopefully the granting of immediate material guarantees that France should be protected from any fresh aggression. To reach this end the group considered two things nec- essary-a strongly organized frontier and the disarmament of Germany, the permanency of which should be secured I by continuing control.
 Settle Saree Basin
 Concerning reparation, the minimum requirements formulated by the group comprised placing the coal mines of the Sarre basin at the disposal of France, while it contended that com plete reparation must be obtained for all damage to persons and property and provisions made for the payment from enemy funds of all war pensions.
 Premier Clemenceau replied that he agreed with NJ. Renoult. They were animated by the same feeling the pre- mier declared, and it gave him great joy today to be able to announce that since the day previous, the question of reparation had been settled between the allies on the basis which the group considered necessary for France. The same was true, added the premier, of the negotiations concerning the Sarre ! basin.
 At the end of the interview, the dele gates of the group declared they had every reason to be satisfied with Nj. Clemenceau's declaration. The inn pression was given that the work of the peace conference was at the point where a conclusion was in sight, and that in few days the public would be i fully informed of the decision that had been reached. Until that time, ii i seems improbable that the government will accept a parliamentary debate l either at a public sitting of the legis- 1 latiYe body or in caucus.

therelrom have been confined to the
