RECOGNIZE
DEMANDOF THE US.
Only Question Is to Whom Re-
payment Demand Should
Be Directed.
By the Associated Press.

PARIS. March 31.-France replied
today to the note from the United
States concerning payment of the
costs of the American military occu-
patton of the Rhineland. The French
note repeats the recent declaration of
the minister of finance before the
senate that France recognizes the
rights of the United States in the
matter. The only question is to whom
the request for reimbursement should
be made-to the allies or to Ger
many-the note says.
The French foreign Office character
ICES the note as a mere acknowledg-
ment of the American communication.
The American embassy, however. con-
siders the note a full acceptance of
the claim as set forth in the Ameri-
can note.

HARVEY REGRETS
PAROLE DECISION

Governor Harvey yesterday issued
statement in which he said it was
to be regretted that another weapon
for law enforcement had been found
defective by the supreme court, re.
ferring to the decision of the court
in the Grover Crooks case. The gov
crnor also pointed out that the de-
cision means that the parole system
in force for years will be practically
abandoned.
"The word parole will hardly be
used by executives in future acts of
clemency. Those already paroled wi I
he the only beneficiaries," the chief
executive said.
In the Crooks decision the court
he'd that the sentence of a man out
on parole continued in service while
the prisoner was at liberty and tn,
governor could not revoke parole
given to prisoner when the sentence
had expired while the man or woman
in question was on parole.
Several cases were covered by the
decision. Only yesterday the cover
nor had conclusive evidence that a
man out on parole had violated prac
tically all known criminal laws, bu,
his sentence had expired under the
construction of the court and the
chief executive was left no avenue
for action.
The governors statement was as
follows:
"The highest judicial authority, the
supreme court of the state, has spok-
en-. The status of the parole system
has been defined. The Interpretation
Of the law as thus decreed is the law
and is to be obeyed and respected by
Ill. 1t is well that the issue has been
definitely determined. 1t is surpris
ng that matter effecting the liber-
~ of people and the authority of tn.
executive has been so long left un-
settled. It means that the parole
system, as understood for all these
wears, will be practically abandoned.
The system Of paroles as previously
''nderstoo seemed to be wise if prop
srly exercised and rightfully en-
tort ed. The word parole will hardly
be used by executives in future acts
Of clemency. Those already paroletl
will be the only beneHciaries of the
decision. My connection with The
matter was wholly imparsonai. ], Of
course. was merely acting for the
stood. Il q Is Bs fssTstt tSat an
other weapon for law enforcement
is found defective, but it may serve
to stir the public to action.
"The decision of the court will tend
20 emphasize the general opinion that
he procedure incident to our GRIM
inal laws is sadly in need Of revision.
The people will unquestionably de-
mand that less loopholes be furnished
law violators by means of technicali-
ties and delays, and that law enforce
ment be not retarded, delayed and
nullified by means Of legal red tape
or court machinery or ambiguity of
