Paris, March IA.
The lucubrations of Louis Loucheur
formerly Minister for the Liberated Re-
gions. are causing great concern to the
Poincare Administration. M. Loucheur,
who refused to explain his> speech in
Lyons. returned to the attack to-day in
an interview In the Homme Libre, reiter-
ating that France would not pay the
American debt.
1--WE been reproached for using lam
guage which is likely to hurt the feelings
of our American friends" says NJ.
Loucheur. Il retract nothing Business
men over there like to play with the
cards on the table; and It is not by
taking a thousand petty precautions that
we shall obtain anything from them.
While the Senate is discussing the
method the United States should employ
to obtain money from her European
debtors, 1t Is not a bad idea to cry out :
iOuT uiscussioi II purely dcduefIiic.
You are losing time. You will never get
anything-not that your debtors do not
recognize their debts or that they have
bad faith, but simply that 1t Is impossi-
BILE for them TO pay"
M. Loucheur added that International
reconstruction, moreover. was impossi-
BILE without the assistance of the United
States; and that France must continue
cropping along blindly until Washington
decides to intervene.

utilized for the purposes for which they
were loaned. The leader of the Christian
Socialist party said that the members
Of his party would no longer demand b
change In the Chancellorship. The Ma
tionalists are expected to decide to-
morrow whether they will give up their
bitter opposition to Herr Schober.

will was good. but horribly slow, ana
that he had to ask the Government

hope that the concentration of all the
