ON PAY IN FULL
Firm Treatment of Germany Is
Platform of Poincare
Ministry.
VERSAILLES PACT is UPHELD
Confidence in the New Regime Is Elk
pressed by Ballot of 472 to
1o7-America's Part in
War Lauded.

Paris, Jan. 21.-Premier Poincare
won an almost unanimous vote of con-
fidence in the chamber of deputies on
his policy for the new government of
make Germany pay"
The premier limited that France
would enforce the Versailles treaty
against Germany alone, if Great Brit
ain and the other allies did not sup
port her.
"We shall insist that Germany de-
liver up her war criminals he said.
'If Germany refuses and violates the
treaty, she will expose herself to the
penalties provided for"
The vote of confidence was taken
after motion to suspend debate on
the foreign policy was passed. 472 to
107.
The chief points in the aggressive
national attitude of the new cabinet
are:
Germany must fulfill all her indem-
nifty obligations.
Preparations dominate the economic
recovery of Europe.
If it is discovered that Germany Is
evading payments, an allied control
mission should be sent to Berlin to
supervise all German finances.
Germany must punish her war Grim
inals in a manner to fit the demands
of justice.
The allies have the right to impose
new penalties upon Germany to en-
force their demands.
France has the right to postpone
evacuation of the Rhineland.
France will continue to participate
in the League of Nations.
France will not accept the invita-
ton to attend the international eco
homie conference at Genoa unless all
nations accept the protocol conditions
laid down at Cannes.
The clauses of the Versailles treaty
are not open to debate at Genoa or
elsewhere.
If there is an Ang1o-French treaty
of alliance, France must enter on an
equal footing with England.
Reorganization of the national mill
tary defense.
Reduction of the term of military
service.
"All our efforts to save the French
financial situation will fail unless
Germany executes all the obligations
she has taken to repair the damage
she did, Poincare said.
1T is easy to locate the source of
the shameful propaganda misrepre-
senting Frances intentions and her
attitude as imperialistic. It is mad
ness to accuse us of nurturing Sc
cretly, suspicious aims, as if the war
had not inflicted enough sacrifice.
Germany is Systematically wasting
her resources while she pretends she
is insolvent. Germany is less taxed
than France Germany does not col
lect taxes, but prints money, thus de-
preciating currency in favor of ex-
portations. She permits industrialists
to invest in foreign enterprises and
organize mock misery.
'Her corporations pay enormous
dividends. Her factories are working

If the government is ruined the ma
ton is becoming richer. 1t is the en-
tire nation that is the guarantor of
the treaty of Versailles.
1T is unnecessary to add that we
will attempt to conserve the friend
Hest relations with the peoples that
fought by our side for humanity, es-
pecially the United States, whose CO.
operation so much contributed to the
common victory and who has just
given at the Washington conference
brilliant proofs of her noble senti-
ments."
"See Senator Mccormick" shouted
the communist members as the pre-
mier spoke of the United States.
