effective, account being taken of new
circumstances.
France will not intervene in the
internal affairs Of Russia, but can
not admit that the Soviet armies shall
cross the Russian frontiers to at
tack the allies of France.
Promises of economy, renovation of
che financial administration and in
tensified reconstruction of devastated
regions made up the remainder Of the
program, which, judged by the applause.
satisfied the great majority of the
members Of the National Assembly.
His Seventh Declaration
II was the seventh ministerial decla-
ration to be presented by M. BRAND as
Prime Minister and was received with
quite as much favor as any of the six
previous declarations. The approval of
the members of the chamber was mani
tested with the greatest vigor when
the Premier said the prosperity of
Germany, the aggressor, in contrast
with the ruin of the victorious people.
would be challenge France could not
tolerate.
Several interpretations criticized the
composition of. the ministry and some
referred to the antagonism shown by
NJ. BRAND to the working class. The
vote of confidence will not be reached
until tomorrow.
1--WE have a treaty of peace with
Germany" the ministerial declaration
read, "but we have not real peace as
yet--a peace which will solidly estab-
lish Frances essential rights and Az
sure her security. W. shall obtain that
security only if Germany is disarmed.
That is for us the vital question, mark
ing out for the government it's first an
most sacred duty. We shall not fail
in it."
Allies Support Expected
Reparations come next in the gov
srnment program. On this the declara-
tion said:
"The reconstruction of our ravaged
soil, our destroyed industries and the
equilibrium o. our finances are possible
only if Germany executes the repara-
tions clauses OF the Treaty of YER
ssilles. To this end our Allies will give
US their support"
The declaration points out that none
of Germanys factories was destroyed,
that it's forces Of production remain
intact, and that even the conditions oe
exchange which defeat inflicted upon
her open the widest hopes for her COM
mercial expansion.
Germany's prompt economic revival
is foreseen, and the declaration says
any idea of deprecating or obstructiny
it is far from the thoughts Of the gov-
ernment.
"But," it is added. "prosperity of the
aggressor. coming after her defeat, in
contrast with the ruin Of the victorious
people, would be, according to the most
elementary morality, q challenge
France cannot accept. We have tSs
force, and would be able to use it If
necessary, to impose respect for all
the undertakings signed, but republican
France is essentially pacific, and it is
in peace she wants to bring Germany
to execute the obligations she has
signed"
United States toward the League Of
Nations the declaration says:
eve respect the scruples which made
them hesitate to indorse a given
League Of Nations, of which, however.
they have never doubted the generous
and beneficent principles"
The declaration expresses confidence
that England will aid all she can to-
arrive at an understanding between
the Allies, which it says is a prime
necessity to the settlement of all ques-
tions concerning peace now in sus-
perse.
France claims it's due, and all its
DUE" the declaration says. "She does
not demand the impossible, but what
now is most important Is that all
facilities of the debtor for payment in
money and in any other form shall be
applied to the profit Of the creditor"
Moscow "Urrepresentative''
Mention is made of the military ac-
cord with Belgium, which the declara-
tion says was provoked "by indisput-
able interests for the common defense,
and which despite the dissimilarity in
customs regimes led to an economic
understanding equally desired on both
sides Of the frontier"
The urgency Of an effective peace
with Turkey is recognized, and the
declaration asserts that taking into
account the new circumstances the
conversations going on with our Allies
will solve the Oriental question"
AS to Russia. the declaration says
France cannot resume relations with
Russia so long as there is not at
Moscow a regime that really repre-
sents the Russian people and is ready
TO keep the engagements undertaken
by previous governments Of the coun-
try.
The other principal point of the
program are reduction of the military
service without weakening the military
force of France so long as Europe still
is unpacifed, reduction of expenditures,
reorganization of the financial admins
tration, intensihcation of reconstruc-
ton and indulgence toward the work
ing classes.
