BERLIN. December 1S.-Germany
should expect more from q sane, prac-
tic2l policy on the part Of the United
States than from any efforts toward
reconstruction by the league of ma
tions. declared DR.. Gustav Streseman.
leader Of the German peoples party,
in an address here today. In this con-
nomic clearing house system. to which
he said number of important Amer
leans were giving their atteution,

nomic clearing house system, to which
he said number OF important Amer
might to some degree restore eco
nomic order in the world.
DR.. Streseman declared England
was more satisfied with the results Of
the war than France and therefore
was more willing to see Germany re-
gain her feet economically.
Industrial England" he added,
fears the advancing threats Of boil
shevism, and recognizes Germany can
rear the necessary block against this
advance only II she is so firmly estab-
lished economically that the spirit of
DOiSneVlsm cannot u0ur1Sh within her
boundaries
There cannot be a compromise with
the French policy. which seeks to
weaken or destroy the German nation,

German states"
French Prenief Replies.
Premier Leygues. replying today to
an Interpolation in the chamber of
deputies concerning disarmament and
reparations. said:
The French representatives at
Brussels have been given clear and
concise instructions. France iS not
desirous Of compelling Germany to
pay her reparation in gold marks.
France asks only the execution of the
peace treaty within reasonable limits,
Whether Germany's debt is paid in
gold or goods matters not, so long
as the debt is paid.
I'VE do not wish France to appear
before the world as q nation which
abuses its strength. PropaEanda Is
| going on, especially In the United
, States. to picture France as a miiitar-
list and imperialist power. Against
such propaganda France must reply
by opposing clear and conciliatine
attitude"
