I'm matters of interpretation 1t is

VERSAILLES PACT
NOT TO Be: broken
BRAND Tells Deputies Guar.
antics Will Be Safe at
Coming Cannes ParIey.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
PARIS. December 24.-There Is nas
question of the treaty of Versailles
being wrecked by the coming confer
ence at Cannes. Premier BRAND told
the chamber Of deputies today in re5
plying to an Interpolation by former
Finance Minister Klotz regarding the
result Of the recent conferences i'm
London between the British, and
French premers. ~
Premier BRAND went back to the
beginning and explained that it had
been considered that the best way for
to reach an agreement. was for their
heads to confer and discuss pending
questions verbally. This, he declared
had been done in an atmosphere OF
entire cordiality.
He pointed out that the question
of reparations concerned not only
Great Britain and France. but all the
allies, and said that in their CONVEX
sations in London the two premiers
had made an effort to harmoniZe their
views SO as TO reach common under
standing with regard to the Cannes
conference.
Reparation Plan Considered.
Not for moment was there Ques-
; ton of France surrendering any guar
anty under the treaty of Versailles.
NJ. BRAND declared. He paid tribute
to Mr.. Lloyd George, who he SAID
had recognized the special position
of France and who had never even
thought of asking that in the COM
! ing conference it might be suggested
that France make even the smallest
J of sacrifices.
"The best conditions under which
we could bring about payment by
Germany were then considered Ia
! this atmosphere" continued the pre-
mier. France could not agree /"
= any sacrifice of the reparations due
her from Germany. and in case Ger
many fails to pay and her guarantees
prove insufficient, We will obtain
wrecking the treaty of Versailles,
as certain German statesmen appear
to have been hoping. The anxiety
, which has been manifested regarding
! the possible surrender by France OF
her guarantees is entirely without
| reason-a bsolutely wrong"
American as Reichsbank Head.
An American superintendent for the
Reichsbank was one OF the PROPOSE
tions discussed by Premier BRAND and
Lloyd George at their conference in
London early in the week, according,
to the Temps. With the idea of Civ
, ing the institution an autonomous
| regime. the paper adds, Germany
would be given at the same time
| fixed date to put necessary fiscal re-
| forms into effect.
! The Journal des Debats criticises NJ.
BRAND for accepting the idea Of an
| international conference for discus
sion of the reparations question. This,
| it says, will amount to revision of
| the treaty of Versailles.

'aThe Japanese delegation. there
fore, felt constrained to insist upon
the assignment of the tonnage pro-
posed in the original American pro-
ject, 1. e., $4,000 tons Of submarines.
The statement Of the Japanese case
was made at the afternoon session OF
the committee yesterday, held within
two hours of the time when Secre-
tary Hughes made his proposal al
the morning session. He insisted
that the demand of japan for a mini
mum of $4,000 tons was made only
for defense.
Japan" he said, was geographi-
cally so remotely situated that it must
be evident to all that her submarines
could not constitute a menace against
any nation"
See Opposition to Proposal.
Notwithstanding this statement on
the part of MIR. Hanihara. it is not
believed that Great Britain and the
United States will agree to Japan
having $4,000 tons OF submarines il
they are to reduce their own tonnage
to 10000.
Much of the morning session yes
terday was given over to the discus
sion of the British proposal for the
abolition of submarines. 1t was
opened by M. Sarraut for the French
delegation, who pointed out that
there are countries not represented
would net be governed by decision
reached here to abolish the sub
marine. He said, too, that some OF
the other nations believe in the sub
marine as a weapon of defense, and
that it would scarcely be fair to them
for the nations gathered here to seek
to lay down a decision regarding the
submarine without even consulting
them.
BalfOur Makes Argument.
Mr.. Balfour. head of the British
the British contention that the sub
marine was not a weapon of defense
and had been proved to be no such
weapon. but a weapon of onense
(megely against merchant vessels) In
the war with Germany.
Secretary Hughes. speaking for the
American delegation, said that the
discussion of the British proposal had
proceeded to a point where it was
clear that it was not possible to reach
an agreement to abolish the Subma-
rine. He praised highly the British
presentation of the case against the
su ubmarine. He said he had conferred
with President Harding regarding the
matter and that the President had
been deeply impressed with the
strength of the arguments presented
by the British and the spirit ami.
mating them.
IF at any time said Secretary
Hughes. "it were found to be feasible
to take the matter up the United
States government would give it theil
most serious consideration" He add.
ed that he hoped what had been said
here would be provocative of though,

HARDING MESSAGE
ON BONUS AWAITED
Senator McCumber Leads
Debate in Senate
, Yesterday.

Developments in the soldier bonus
President Harding will send to Con-
gress a special message giving his
views upon this as we'll as tariff and
tax legislation. The Senate was in
recess to-day. but members of that
body favoring recommitment of the
bonus bill appear to be steadily
growing.
Less than a score of senators fol-
lowed the debate on the bonus bill
yesterday. Senator McCumber. prin-
cipal proponent of the bill, occupied
the floor a large part of the time.
reading into the record accounts OF
advances to the railroads, and citin &
other large prospective expenditures
in support of his argument that the
cost of the bonus was not to be
advanced as a valid objection to it.
Senator McCumber took issue with
the letter of Secretary Mellon.
II have heard neither the President
nor the Secretary of the Treasury de-
clare that to have it become operative
July l, 1922. as contemplated in the
pending bill, would be too early a
date" he said. THE republican party
should make good" declared Senator
McCumber, even if our party plat
form had not contained a pledge to
the soldiers of America.
Despite the pleadings Of the Sec
,retary Of the Treasury. despite the
earnest plea Of the President not to
enter into new fields of expenditures,
this Congress has appropriated mil
lions to go into new enterprises. 1t
appears this Congress seems bent on
spending all of the money that can
be raised by taxation. Why. then,
should we expect a tidal wave Of con-
sternaton to sweep the country il
we pass a bill that will take two hum
dred million dollars two years from
now and varying amounts thereafter.
and after thirty years no appropria-
tion whatever"

REDUCTION IN DIVISIONS
OF THE ARMY NECESSARY
Secretary Weeks Sees Prospect Of
Abandoning Six Military En-
campments, Including Meade.

Secretary Weeks says that the execu-
tion OF the act of Congress reducing
the enlisted strength of the Army
from 100000 to 10000 men entails the
disbandment of several regiments and
reduction in the number Of divisions.
Adoption OF plans. he says. awaits the
result OF recent orders authorizing
discharges on applications These ap-
plications are so heavy on the part Of
men serving their first enlistment. he
added. that there may be no occasion
to resort to a plan Of compulsory dis
charges to accomplish the required re-
duction.
1t is estimated that about six mill
tary encampments constructed during
the war. including Camp Meade, Md,
and still maintained as Army posts.
will be abandoned in the reduction
process. The ones to be so affected,
however. have not been decided, and
probably will not be until RECON-
mendations are submitted by a con-
gressional committee investigating
the subject. In any circumstances, it
was said, the Army will retain title to
the land, water and sewerage systems
OF the reservations SO that they may
be made available without delay in
case Of emergency.
