BRAND Off for London:
Firm, for Full indemnify
Determined to- Max e No Con.
cessions and to Ailop No
German (OuUfer PrnnnsnIs

PARIS, Feb. 20.--Premier BRAND left
for the London conferences determined
to make no concessions to Germany"
as far az France is concerned, and to
allow of no examination OF German
counter proposals TO the Allied repara-
tions demands, in so far as they concern
the method Of the payment of repara-
tions.
France, it was said to-day at the
Foreign Office, was prepared immedi-
ately to apply the penalties should
Germany not accept the Paris repara-
tions plan or otherwise fail to meet the
Allied requirements.
Former President Poincare, in
signed article in the Temps to-day, de-
c!ares that Germany must meet the de.
mands made upon her by the Repara-
tions Commission.
"1f Germany refuses to accept the
demands made at the Paris con-
ference" says M. Poincare, then the
Versailles Treaty automatically comes
into force. 1t is impossible that a
third bill Of costs can be drawn up at
London. The French Government can
count upon the firm determination of
both chambers of Parliament to reject
any further delays that Germany may
claim, concerning the penalties and
also obtain from our Allies full in
dorsement of Frances demands.
"Dr. Simons the German Foreign
Minister speaks to-day in tones he
would not have dared adopt six
months ago, although six months ago
Germany was laughter than a year
previously. German insolence is taking
an ascending line, which if main
tained, will mean that the victors will
be Inundated by the vanquished and
the victims jeered at by the execu-
TONERS.
"Once more let US remember what
happened after the Treaty of Frank
Iort and also what Germany would
have eXacted from US had she been
victorious. We do not wish Germany
to weep, but we have & right to de-
mand that she does not mock US"

date Puts Entire Line
Under Control of London
Important Precedent Set
Right of Powers to Shift
Authority Conferred by
the League Is Involved

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 (By The As
sociated Press Realization by Great
Britain Of her longcherished dream of
an all rail route from the Mediterrane-
an to India through territory under her
exclusive political or military control
is made possible by an agreement
signed by the French and British gov
ernments in Paris December 23, de-
tails Of which were received here to-
day.
Under that agreement the Syrian
desert, constituting the southern part
OF Syria bordering on Palestine, is
transformed from a French to a Brit
ish mandate. In this territory, which
was previously allotted to France by
the League of Nations, specific pro-
vision is made for construction of a
British railway line linking Palestine
with the Mesopotamian railway sys-
tens through the Syrian desert
The pact as concluded between the
French and British governments in
Paris December % contains pro-
visions for the complete settlement
of the "problems raised by the attri-
button to Great Britain of the man
dates for Palestine and Mesopotamia,
and by the attribution to France of
the mandate over Syria and the Leb-
anon all three conferred by the Su-
preme Council at San Reno"

Fate of immigration
Bill Up to President
Passage of Measure Virtually
Assured, but Advocates Fear
Veto Il Possible

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-1mmigra-
tion restriction legislation will be
passed by Congress and put up to the
President. What the attitude of the
President will be is something of
which leaders of Congress are igno-
rant. They recall that he opposed i'm
migration legislation providing for the
ilteracy test, and in consequence of
this they are not at all sure he will
Sign the restrictive bill which Con-
gress is about to pass.
Well informed member said tonight
that while they thought it possible the
President would sign the measure they
dld not regard it as assured. A veto
would not surprise them.
The Dillingham; bill as amended in
The Senate, will go to the House Mon
day. Chairman Johnson, of the House
immigration Committee, will move to
send it to conference. This is the
present program. In the end, it is ex-
rected that the bill as it passed the
Senate will be accepted by the House
with little change, rather than the
johnson bill. The Senate bill as it
was passed allows q number equal to
only 3 per cent of the foreign born of
any nationality resident in this coun-
try to be admitted in any one fiscal
year.
This is more severely restrictive,
representative Johnson says, than his
own bill. Consequently many members
of the House who are for drastic re-
striction are ready to accept it.
II have no doubt a bill will be
passed by Congress-" said Represen-
tative Johnson tonight.

Spain's Annual Deficit
Is 800 Million Pesetas
Governments Acquisition of
Wheat, Subsidies to Railways
and Coal Purchases Rlamed

MADRID, Feb. 2O.-Commenting to-
day on the budget the newspaper A B C
says the financial year ending March
81 will show deficit of more than
600t000,000 pesetas, mostly incurred in
connection with the governments acqui-
sition of wheat valued at 25O,O0O, 900
pesetas, subsidies to the railroad com
panies for the payment of increased
wages and the purchase of coal by the
government for the purpose of provid-
Ing gas lights in various cities.
The newspaper asserts the years
expenditures will amount to 2,705 1000,
600 pesetas, while the revenues will
total around 1,96o,ooO,OO0. 1t says the
defsit is one of the highest ever re-
corded by Spain, and asks whether it
is not possible to cease the present
system of budgets showing deficits by
introducing methods of economy which
will have the support of the entire ma
tion.

semi official statements, including that
of January %, by the Reparations Com
mission and other Allied authorities
and show what has been accomplished
to date in obtaining payment from Ger
many and effecting her disarmament.
In presenting the figures, the founda-
tion says there is no basis for COM
putting what percentage of reparation
is already liquidated by Germany's de-
llverles to that account, because there
is no bill of particulars giving the
amount of her liabilities"
Germany" says the statement, "has
remitted to the Reparations Commis-
sion total of 0OO0,oO0,O0O mark Z
payments in goods and gold, and there
is no unnatural difference between the
parties as to the value Of the commod-
tiles delivered. The German claim is
that the sum of 23,s90,0O0OO0 gold
marks represents the payments already
made, the Reparations Commission is
quoted as saying that these 'substan-
TALLY exceed the real figures
Some comparisons Of debt and pay
ment are afforded. There has been
delivery of 360176 beasts, as against
treaty demand of 370,9Oo. On the
other hand, delivery in one year of
2,054,729 tons of shipping is compared
with total loss of 8,517,515 tons by
Great Britain alone"
: The statement gives details as to
restitution, no items of which are
credited to reparation. Under this
head it says Germany has restored to
France and Belgium 1850 farm i'm
plements, 271,207 tons of industrial
material, 397 locomotives and 1928
freight cars.
The total delivery of arms, credited
neither to reparation nor restitution.

chine guns, 5,201 ,5s4 rifles, $4,000 air
planes and $4,000 airplane motors, be-
sides quantities of other war material.
The statement gives in detail the
disposition of forty capital and 144
other ships of the German navy, point
ing out that practically all of these
have been broken up by the powers
to whom they were surrendered.

dent of transfer Of mandate terri
tory from one power to another by
mutual agreement without reference
to the League of Nations.
Section 3, Article Y, of the treaty
provides that the French government
consents to the nomination OF a spe-
cial commission which, after having
examined the ground, may readjust the
frontier line in the valley Of the Var
muk as far as NASH in such a manner
as to render possible the construction
of British railway and pipe line con-
Meeting Palestine with the Hedjaz rail-
way and the valley of the Euphrates,
and running entirely within the limits
OF the areas under the British man
date"
Part of the British all rail route from
india to the Mediterranean, according
to advices received in official circles
recently, was begun secretly during
the war and has been completed from
Quetta in northern India to a point in
central Persia skirtng the Afghan
'istan border. The rail route from Pa.
estine would cross the Syrian desert
and, passing through Basra IN south
ern Mesopotamia, would effect a juno
tion with the line already completed
from India at q point in southern Per-
sia.
Only One Link Lacking
With the transfer of southern Syria
from France to Great Britain, accord
ing to officials, only the southern Per-
sian link would be left outside political
control of Great Britain, and even this
link is now partly under her political
control and wholly under British mill
tary control.
1t is believed by officials here that
on account Of the uncertainty of the
Turkish settlement and the possibility
of the passing of control of CONSTANT
nople from Great Britain plans for the
linking of the projected Mediterranean
to India railway route with that part OF
the Berlin to Bagdad system from
Constantinople south will be deferred
until the Near Eastern situation be-
comes less obscure.

France to Give Poland

New Agreement Said Not to In.
volve Sending Troops in
Case of Attack

PARIS. Feb. 2o.-Although the text
OF the Franco-Polish agreement, which
has been under discussion during the
visit to Paris of President Pilsudski of
Poland, has not been made public, it is
understood that its terms bind France
to furnish material and technical aid
to Poland if that country should be
attacked from the east or from the
west. France would not be compelled,
however, to send troops to Poland.
Poland agrees, it is understood, to
reconstitute the French military mis-
sion to her government and to give a
stronger organization to her army.
The economic accord regulates COM
mercial relations and tariff provisio ions
between the two countries
A third accord provides for the con-
stitution of a Franco-PoEsh company
to exploit the petroleum industry in
Galicia.

Premier, who, while he has nominally
acceded to thee demands of Berlin in

our necks in the yoke of the slave
and that no dictatorship can compel
us to commit suicide" he declared
anna an outburst of applause. He con-
tlnued that Germany's opponents
wanted peace, but were creating war.
Won Kahr declared that the Elm
"ohnerwehr was a self-protective or
ganlzation which was not affected by
any provisions of the Versailles
treaty, and he believed that the En-
tente must come to that view. He re-
garded the financial demands agreed
on at the Paris Conference as mean
ing the enslavement of the entire Ger
man people within two generations
and, therefore, unacceptable, he said.
You cannot hold an entire people
In the chains of slavery" he declared
