France wtll seize German terri.

win allow herself to go into bank.
ruptcy," M. Raymond Recouly, OF
Paris, one of the editors of lie Temps,
the semi-official French newspaper,
declared in an interview today.
"A very tragic situation" 10 his
Characterization of the present crisis.
Like MANY of his countrymen, he
made a plea for the cooperation CT
Great Britain and the United States.
NJ. Recouly. here attending the
sessions of the Institute of Politics,
asserted France has been drained
financially to rebuild the devastated
areas.
Must Have Aid.
"The effort in that direction has
been tremendous, but unfortunately
the effort has reached the extreme
limit. II Is impossible for us to go
further In that direction. We are
nearing the time when the French
public will no longer be in a posi-
ton to provide the money.
'If we do not receive either from
Germany or through the form Of
an international loan the sums
needed for the reconstruction OF
France, we will very soon be placed
In a dilemma.
"If we cease reconstruction, we
will be placed in an inferior eco
nomic position. II we continue Il
without receiving money or loans
from the outside, initiation will set
In and our currency will depreciate.
Perhaps social disorders, and GER
tainly an increase in the cost OF
living would be the result, as infla-
tion would bring depreciation of the
franc, an increase of our deficit, and
make it impossible to have the
government pay dividends to the
State bond holders.
''The French people most hate a
deficit and have a horror of bank
ruptcy. Rather than face that ex-
tremity, they will be ready to exact
from Germany the penalties imposed
under the Versailles treaty, and
which they are perfectly entitled to
enforce.
Rights Of France.
"They will use the rights which
they derived from the treaty which
was signed not only by their allies,
England and America, but also by
the Germans themselves. That
treaty gives France the right to
seize German property IL Germany
does not fulfill her obligations.
"A solution of the reparations
question in which France and Ger
many are left alone to face each
other is apt to be followed by ylave
consequences. With the collabora.
ton of England-and we French
men hope that this collaboration
will be as close as possible-we
are ready to do everything in our
power to obtain a better solution.
With the active cooperation Of the
United States, the chances for d
satisfactory settlement become still
greater.
'It is up to America to decide
whether II will leave Europe in the
melting pot and continue to act
purely as an observer, or will de-
liberately and speedily come to its
rescue"
