PARIS, Feb. establishment can
and will be meted out to Germany
If any allied nation is dissatisfied
with that country's response to the
reparations and disarmament de-
mands of the entente, Premier
BRAND OF France declared yesterday
An agreement has been entered
into whereby any entente nation can
she deems cOercive measures may be
necessary, the premier announced in
an interview with the United Press.
The mechanism of punishment is
much simpler and much more rapid
than is generally understood, the
premier declared.
The nation desiring to inflict a
penalty, provided in the agreement,
merely has to notify her allies of her
intention, meanwhile proceeding to
act on her own accord.
Anticipate Coercion
1.-The allied note which was sent
to Berlin after the allied council, :"
Premier BRAND stated, contained
no stipulations regarding penalties
because such provision would have
been equivalent to admitting that
the Germans might not fulfill their
obligations.
1.-THE mechanism of the penalties
agreed upon is much simpler and
more rapid IN action than is gen.
orally understood.
1.-THE day one of the entente pow
ers is obliged to take any action on
coercive measures included in the
allied agreement Of January 20, this
power only has to inform the other
allied governments and without any
new negotiations it will be entitled
to act as a mandatory for the others
France, Great Britain or Italy
may act whenever she thinks neces-
saTy and the other powers will ap-
prove. =
London Conference Prompt.
Il am convinced the London con-
ference will be held on the date
scheduled. although German activity
might seem designed to prevent it.
l am also fully convinced of the re-
suits at that conference.
"The question is to know whether
Germany is willing OF unwilling to
carry out her obligations or force
the allies to employ energetic means
Of persuasion"
Brands interview was granted
after he had talked with Ambassa-
dor Laurent of Germany. He de-
clared his belief that moderates in
Germany will win over the opposi-
ton so that a reasonable reply will
be made to the allies while repre-
sentatives are sent to the London
conference to discuss details OF the
carrying out OF the demands.
