Premier BRAND in an iinpassioned plea
for national solidarity behind him should
nc go to the Washington conference. as
he proposes, told the Chamber In un-
mistakable terms to-day what will be
his policy there. and he again insisted
that unless a satisfactory majority was
given him he would not endeavor to
attend the conference.
The Premiers speech came after he
had listened for three days to criticisms
of his Government. which will be con-
tinued next Tuesday, when vote OF
confidence will be taken. The criticisms
come from the Right and from the politi-
cal followers of Georges Clemenceau
who are alarmed at Brands new policy
OF peacefulness, which is aimed at rally
ing the entire Left to his support.
The session to-day showed the Premier
at his best, and the warmest applause
greeted him as he endeavored to show
that his efforts had always been directed
toward conciliation and the maintenance
OF friendship with the Allies. who had
succeeded in bringing back Frances
glory after her defeat fifty years ago.
I'm so far as the lifting of the MILL
tary sanctions are concerned / have
steadfastly refused to lift them." he de-
clared. Il have no intention of aban.
doning our guarantees. Although
have confidence in the Wirth Govern.
ment In Berlin. it may tumble down to.
morrow. and / must not give up any.
thing that would assure our security
"As to the invitation to the Washing
ton conference, consider that Frances
voice must reply to that Of the United
States. and the day l set foot on Amer.
ica's shores will feel pride in showing
how grateful France Is for the aid which
has been given her / consider France
must be present at all the conversation.
there. particularly in regard to the Pa
ciic Ocean, where France Is to-day 9
first class Power"
Expressing regret that In way the
United States had been worked VI
against France by German propagandists
Premier BRAND declared 1t was his in
tention to show that France was a ma
tion with pacific ideals, despite the neces
sity for her security and the maintenance
of her traditions.
''If the question of disarmament is put
to me in Washington" he continued. ~
will tell what happened in 1871, as vel
as show what would have happened
then IL France had accepted her defeat
1t was only because the French poilt
mounted guard that the worlds liberty
was saved finally. If all the essential
guarantees are given France she will
not be the last to limit armaments, but
these guarantees must be given. But
in order to attain this I must be giver
the support of the peoples representa-.
tives," the Premier continued. "If ]
am not enveloped In the real atmospher,
of France / prefer staying at home"
Discussing the good faith of the Ger.
man Government. Premier BRAND sug
gested the possibility that the entry Of
the Volkspartei into the Wirth Cabine,
might provoke change in the Berlin
Government. but. he said, this would
work to the disadvantage of the Ger.
man people.
'In such an event we may then con.
slider the eventual occupation of the
Ruhr, but not without our allies" he
said. "If Germany does not keep her
obligations we will then have the com.
mon guaranty Of the Allies to admins
ter In the Ruhr without assistance
