Declares Government Is
Retaining Right of Free
Hand in Policy
WILL NEED NO TROOPS
Time for Acts and Not
Words Has Arrived,
Premier Says
tBy Associated pressI

Paris, Dec. 13.-Premier Poincare,
at the resumption of the parliament
tary debate on the French foreign
policy, will announce that the gov
ernment retains the right to use a
free hand in seizing security for the
German debt. However, he will not
specify what this security will be.
The premier made this clear, to in
tervie~ers last night, saying that he
would speak either spontaneously or
in reply to interpretations on "the
fresh postponement of the occupation
of the Ruhr," of which Leon Daudet
and others have given notice.
81 never said l thought of occupy
ling Ruhr, or taking such security"
the premier told his questioners. II
do not know exactly which we would
choose. If we did we should be very
careful not to cry it from the house
tops.
"This, however, is certain; what
ever action we decide on will not in
!volve The calling up of single man.
What is no less certain is that the
time for threats without acts has
Ipassed. We have fully resolved to
act, even alone and even if before
January Is the reparations commits
4 sion pronounces in favor of a fresh
i moratorium for Germany.
"In any case we cannot take any
step before January Is. 1t is wrong
to speak of postponement. We post
poned nothing and the fact that We
Eare adjourning continuation of oul
discussions to the beginning of mex
month involves no loss of time"
The atmosphere for the parliamen
tary lobbies now appears less fever
ish and the situation is viewed witt
greater complacency by the press
which, like The Petit Parisiene, NOR
or less supports the government
pointing out that the premier did no
come back from London empty-hand
ed. Attention is also called to the fac
that France obtained from her allie
concessions which, while not complet
are none the less most important
notably Britain's new attitude tc
wards the inter-allied debts, whic
could hardly have been hoped for aft
: er her refusal even to consider tn
question six months ago.

cation today of eulogies of the mer-
chants lift in connection with adj

ment ctore competitors. Philadel-
phia's schools will be closed for one
session tomorrow, and the Wanna
maker stores, which have been clos

fusal in today's session of the Near
East conference to assign any spe-

home for the Armenians.
Ismet Pashas declared such a pro-

no sympathy anywhere in the world
for Turkey if the conference broke
down on the Question of minorities.
After long discussion the entire
question was referred to sub-com-
