FRENCH PREMIER
SAYS TIME TO ACT
AGAINST GERMANY

Paris. April 12-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-Premier BRAND in the
debate in the Chamber of Deputies
today on German reparations de-
clared: The time for words has
passed. We must now revert to
acts
The premier recalled the warnings
given to Germany by the Paris and
London conferences and the subse-
quent application of penalties. and
added that the government had
hoped the German government
would realize that it could not longer
delay fulfillment of it's undertake
ings.
I'VE discern. however" he said,
that the penalties enforced have
not produced the expected results.
We note that there still exists in
Germany a disposition to evade pay
ment. On May 1 Germany will be
face TO face with u whole series Of
violations of the treaty which she
signed.
II repeat here. with all the
strength at my command. that we
creditors hold a perfectly legal deed.
A process server has been dispatched
to Germany. and if our debtor per-
sists in refusal to pay. the next
time a policeman will accompany
him.
This process is legal proceeding
as between individuals kp every day
life, and it is the same in relations
between nations. 1t is no use to be-
gin over again discussions already
closed. We have in hand a promis-
sorry note duly signed, and II the
debtor refuses to pay we must coerce
him by al lmeans OF coercion we
have in our power.
"Jn full agreement with our allies
we have q rendezvous with Germany
on May i. France shall not fail that
rendezvous"
NJ. de Lasteyrie. official reporter
of the finance commission of the
arations and reconstruction said that
Germany had paid only three bill
lion francs reparations. although she
claimed to have paid twenty one
billion, having computed in her pay
monts the value of the war material
left behind during her retreat NJ.
de Lastyris concluded France must
be paid. If Germany refuses. France
must go in herself and exact pay
ment. 1t is a question Of, life or
DEATH"
This declaration was applauded
by the entire house.
