P0INCARE POLICY
 ILLEGAL, GERMAN
 CABINET DECLARES

Berlin, Aug. 8-The German cabinet. after discussing the French 'tretor- tions" now being enforced for Ger many's failure to promise payment in full of the pre-war debts owing to Frenchmen, voted to issue an informal statement condemning Premier Poin- cares procedure as illegal, especially in it's relation to the Versailles treaty and the Franco-German agreement concluded at Baden concerning titles to private property.
 |, No official counter demand is planned for the time beings
 London, Aug. S-Drastic measures of financial control in Germany. are provided for in Premier Poincare's 8 draft of the conditions under which France is willing that the Reich shall have a moratorium to the end of the present year.
 The conditions, which are to be con- sidered by the finance commission of the allies today, are understood to 1n- cIude exploitation of the German cus- toms, mines, railroads and forests. control of the Reich's Bank and the German Bank note press, and super vision of foreign currencies as well as exports and imports. All these would be under the active control of Inter national commissions sitting in Ber- lin, German authorities would have to surrender to the allies 26 per cent, and in some cases much more, of their capital, while as a measure to enforce compliance, the occupation and ex- propriation of the Ruhr coal field would be kept in reserve.
