Paris, March =.
In less than a month Hugo SHINES
and other German financierFs and in
dustrial leaders will be making them
selves heard in urging an acceptance
Of the Paris reparations accord, whicn
demanded 226. 900, 100000 marks gold
from Germany, In order TO terminate
allied occupation OF the three German
industrial ntres-Dusseldorf, Duis-
burg and Ruhrort--into which the
Allies marched to-day. This is the
propbecy of the Intrdnst0ednt to-
night in commenting on the ease with
which the allied forces made their ad-
vance.
Hardly an important Paris news
paper failed to-day TO offer its praise
of Premier Brands diplomacy, which,
after two years of wrangling over the
reparations terms, finally succeeded in
weaving the British Prime Minister
Mr.. LLOYD George. from the theories
Of John Maynard Keynes as presented
in his book, THE Economic Conse-
duences of the Peace" regarding Ger
many's capacity TO pay.
But while the Premier's political
star is in the ascendant there is "A
distinct note in the French press that
the penalties already ordered must not
be considered as other than the be-
ginning of forceful measures against
Germany, the general impression here
being that further occupation of either
the Ruhr Basin or Marshal Foch's
line dividing southern from northern
Germany will become necessary as
soon as Germany is able 70 develop
economic opposition to the present
plans of the Allies.
Rcvives Versailles risn.
The semi-oficial Temps tonight in
sists that the Paris accord between the
Allies must now be considered dead
letter, since Germany has refused to ac-
cept il and allied contingents have been
sent across the Rhine.

simple execution OF the treaty" II says.
This demands, according TO the terms
OF Article CCxxxv., that Germany
pay the equivalent Of 10000, 100000
marks gold before May ! Premier
Lloyd George very justly reminded DR..
Simons German Foreign Minister and
head OF Germany's delegation TO the
reparations conference In London) that
Germany had failed in this obligation,
and that out OF the 90, 100000 marks
gold due by May ] the Allies have re-
ceived only about 5000, 100000. with
only few weeks left FOR Germany 10
complete her payments.
Moreover Article CCNXII1. of tho
treaty demands that the Reparations
Commission nx before May l the total
OF the obligations Germany must meet
and also show the effect Of her payments.
