PARIS, Jan. 20.-Premier Aristide
BRAND presented the programme Of
his Ministry to the Chamber of Depu-
ties and the Senate to-day. The pro-
gramme contains four outstanding
points, namely:
Germany must disarm and pay the
reparations due from her.
France has the force to compel re-
spect for engagements taken with her
and would be able to use it if neces-
sary, but it is in peace she wants to
bring Germany to fulfil her obliga-
tons
Peace with Turkey must be made
effective, account being taken Of new
circumstances.
France will not intervene in the inter
nal affairs of Russia. but cannot admit
that the Soviet armies shall cross the
Russian frontiers to attack the allies OF
France.
Promises of economy, renovation OF
the financial administration and intepsl-
fed reconstruction of the devastated reg
ions made up the remainder of the pro-
gramme, which, judged by the applause,
satisfied the great majority of the MEM
hers Of Parliament
Wins Chamber Approval.
The approval of the members Of the
Chamber was manifested with the great
est vigor when the Premier said the
prosperity of Germany, the aggressor,

ious people would be a challenge France
could not tolerate.

composition OF the Ministry and some
referred to the antagonism shown by NJ.

said. proposed to advance large sums
TO the reconstruction organization, in
which the Federation of Labor was rep
resented, but the Government was so
slow in entering into contract with

Germany's prompt economic revival Is
foreseen. and the declaration says any

and the United States. NJ. BRAND de-
clared that the imperishable bonds
formed on the battlefelds in the war
