PARIS, Jan. 2l.-"France cannot re-

Is a regime at Moscow that repre-
sents the Russian people," Premier
BRAND declared yesterday In announcing
the policy OF his new government In
the Chamber of Deputies.
The premier emphasized the inn
portance OF the Near East question
and promised a diminution OF mill
itary service In France as soon as
Europe IL settled.
M. BRAND said:
"rhere is urgent need OF realizing
peace with Turkey and solving the
wholes Oriental problem" After de-
claring that France would not
recoe nize the present Bolshevik gov
ernment at Moscow he continued:
I'VE are ready to. recognize our
engagements and we do not wish to
Interfere In Russia's internal af-
fairs. but we will not' permit the
Bolsheviki to atN< k our allies.
'It is necessary for France to re-
main strong while Europe Is impact
fed. but II can be promised that
there will be a diminution OF mill
tary service.
disarmament OF Germany is a
sacred duty. The security of France
depends upon IL. As to reparations.
we have the force to impose respect
for all engagements under the
treaty. But France Is essentially
peaceful and reasonable; she does
not demand the impossible from
Germany. We only seek that Ger
many should put her facilities FOR
payment at the use of France.
allied accord Is an extremely i'm
portant thing and we shall do every
thing in our power to maintain and
develop this accord. l am confident
of England's aid. The firm alliance
with England is the basis OF our
policy"
The Premier also promised financial
reforms.
Premier BRAND added:
"The long standing friendship be-
tween France and the United states
cannot be forgotten. We have recol-
lections OF the common history of the
two countries in the past wherein
both mingled. And they will mingle
again in the future If 1t Is necessary
in order to guarantee our union in
peace as in war.
"We are sure the Americans are
for reparations and damages from
Germany. We are sure Americans
will give us the same support which
decided victory in the war. We re-
spect Americas scruples which
caused the United States to hesitate
on the initial form Of the League or
Nations But we believe that America
has never doubted our generous prin-
ciples."

A DEPLoRABLE CONDITION

Go in any direction one may,
bridges are found down and culverts
entirely gone. This is the condition
that confronts tax payers IN every
portion of the county. 1t is most
deplorable condition. 1t is mex
cusable. There can be no good
reason for it. And tax payers are
getting thread-bare on the subject.
Long bridges and short bridges,
big culverts and little culverts all
over the sounty are down and
washed away. Some of them have
been down for months, and yet, no
attempt is made to repair them. It
is positively dangerous to travel any
of our roads, because of the deplor-
able condition of bridges and cul-
verts.
We don't know who is to blame.
We are not blaming anyone-but
the bridges ought to be fixed. Tax
payers in every community ought to
hold indignation meetings and de-
mand that some relief be afforded.
There is plenty of labor now at a
low price, timber can be procured
way below last syear's prices and
these bridges and culverts should be
repaired.
