told the Chamber Of deputies
this afternoon:
eff on May satisfactory pro-
posals with acceptable guaran-

be occupied.
It is held in French official

20 billion gold marks due May l

235 of the treaty of Versailles is
entirely Independent Of the ne
gotiations regarding the sum to-
tai of the reparation she must
eventually pay. The treaty fixes
absolutely this amount which
being unpaid justifies the appli-
cation of penalties, according to
this theory, whatever course
may be taken regarding the fix
ing of the total amount.
TRYING TO DIVIDE ALLIES
1t is semi-officially stated
that the French feel unable
longer to allow infractions Of the
treaty to remain without penal

declared, that the Germans are
only seeking to delay the execu-

in the hope that the allies may
divide among themselves and
make bargaining easier for Ger

Therefore, it is semi-officially
