Paris, Dec. Is (Ssturday).
The Chamber OF Deputies after
listening to Premier Poincare's decla-
ration of policy, his discreet narration
of what the Premiers did and did not
do at London and engaged in long
debate which lasted into the early
hours of this morning, expressed its
confidence in the Government by a
vote Of 5l2 to 76.
Throughout the debate NJ. Poincare
withstood attacks from all sides, at the
same time refusing to give any details
as to the policy he intended to pur-
sue to make Germany meet the rep
arations pledges. Throughout it was
evident that American influence was
paramount Poincare himself referred
time and again to the possibility Of
America considering interallied war
debts differently than It has since the
arnistice.
The opponents OF the original Poin-
are plan OF making Germany pay by

considerably modified In the last few

alliance among France, Great Britain
and the United States was better than

is only a matter os tiiz1e.
