Discussing the work of the confer
ence, Premier BRAND said:
II think the conference which has
Just ended accomplished work Of un-
rrecedented Importance in six days.
The question of Germanys disarma
nent is settled; deliveries of coal dur
ing the next few months are fixed; we
have inaugurated method to place
Austria on its feet; we have decided,
in view OF the difficulties in the Near
Fast, to call a conference at an early
cate to regulate the problems of Tur-
key in Asia and Europe in the most
equitable manner. and, above all, we
Eave dissipated the uncertainty which
lay heavily on the economic life of
TWO hemspheres.
1--WE have been accused by persons
who had no knowledge ri our thoughts
Of wanting to crush Germany under
unbearable burdens, and we were ac-
cused of wanting to reduce her to a
cipher, thus repriving the world of her
production. labor and technical capaci
ties This was not so. The system
which | upheld in the conference pro-
ides for fixed indemnity which is
absolutely necessary for our future
budgets, and the method of payment is
strictly in proportion to Germany's
capacity to pay.
France Declared Moderate
France could not be placed in the
position of one day finding herself
faced with prosperous Germany
while France was unable to repair the
moral and material damages which it
lad suffered. 1t must not be forgotten
that France, in any case. will be forced
10 meet the costs of the war for which
he treaty provides no indemnity. The
fixed indemnities which France has ac-
oepted, and which represent for it be-
tween 1.000,000,000 and 100000, 900
francs yearly, prove her moderation.
81 am convinced that all civilized
countries will recognize the sacrifices
we have made for a revival of the eco
nomic life of the world. At the same
time | could not ask my country to
give up the possibility of recovering a
larger portion of her losses if Germany
we're in position to pay it,"
In summing up the conference pro-
oeedings Premier BRAND made the fol-
lowing statement to The Tribune cor
respondent, in which he refers to the
position of the United States and his
desire for a reciprocal alliance between
the French and American republics:
Il am persuaded that America will
understand the spirit in which we
lave acted at the Paris conference,
md that as soon as the United States
is able to take definite position re-
garding Eu~cean affairs it swill help
Us in our task. l was president of
the Council when the American am
bassador came to announce to me that
Lis country would enter the war on
cur side. and | remember the profound
md joyous emotion which | felt at this
news. 1t was to me synonymous of
certain victory.
During the present conference over
which l was called to preside, it was
real regret to me not to be able to
consult with the always sensible opin-
ions of American representatives
81 am convinced that the two re-
lublcs can work together to establish
definite peace in the world and par
ficularly in Europe. | am desirous of
seeing them united to one another by
