ADMIT TACTICAL FAULTS

PARIS. Feb. 90 ASSOCIATED Press) -
Members of the French delegation to the
Washington armaments conference who
reached Paris to-day gave the impress
sion that they were dissatisfied with the
results OF their mission. apparently feel
ing that their visit to Washington had
caused regrettable MISUNDERSTANDING
concerning France in some circles in
America.
NJ. Albert Sarraut. who acted as head
OF the delegation. made the following
declaration
THE chief of the French delegation
was happy to note previous to his de-
parture that real relaxation had taken
place in American circles and that after
the diplomatic encounters, which were at
times quite spirited. the basis of Amer
ican friendship toward us iemained in
tact
American opinion is very impressions
able and changeable, but it is also frank
and generous and quick to reverse hasty
judgments. It is up to US to convince
it of our peaceful designs and-not allow
it to be misled by nefarious propaganda.
America desires nothing better than to
like us. and we must by vigorous and
methodical demonstrations destroy the
effect of the campaigns from which
France is suffering
The reesta ablishment of the truth has
already begun. Let us not be idle but
work in order to dissipate the persistent
errors which represent us as impcrialists
and as militaristic agtators in Europe"
Members Of the mission feel disap-
pointed because of the allegation in some
American circles that France failed to
enter the conference in the true spirit
of modern diplomacy, that she was not
ready to make sacrifices for the common
good in lessening the burdens of world
armaments and that she is adhering to
mlitarism.
The contention OF the French is that
nothing could be further frcm the truth.
Their belief is that France made her
great error in not insisting as a great
Power in joining at the outset in the
deliberations at Washington over capital
ships. from which she was excluded
until the ratio had been arranged by
Great Britain, Japan and the United
States.
The anti-F'rench opinion concerning
Frances stand on the question of sub
marines was attributed by members Of
the delegation to the psychological fact
that France failed to prepare public
opinion for her submarine desires as
they claimed the japanese did on the
question of the Status quo" in Pacific
Notifications. One Frenchman said:
Somehow or other we were jockeyed
into the position which many thought
Japan would occupy at Washington and
which the japanese themselves feared
they would occupy, namely. the POSI-
tion of defendant.
Surely we are not militaristic II
we maintain an army it is primarily to
insure the payment of reparations by
Germany, which is a matter of life or
death for our future. We requested
submarines merely as a precautionary
measure Of defense, but there is no
likelihood that we will build them"

clared the Captain of the
former Kaiser's guard at Duorn
when asked about the reiterated
reports that William would marry
Frau Rochow, widow of German

his period of mourning. He pointed
out that these rumors had orig

more interested, he said, in the fact
that the young SON of one of the
ex-Kaiser's private counselors was
taken this week to the lunatic asy-
lum in Utrecht for treatment. Con-
finement behind barbed wire and
the inability to make friends Of the

PARIS, Feb. 20 (Associated Press) -
Louis p. Loucheur, former Minister Of
Liberated Regions, declared tonight
1t was his belief that France never
would be able to pay sou of her
debt to tie United States. This state
of the industrial, commercial and ag-
ricultral associations.
II say plainly" declared NJ
Loucheur, that I believe we never
will be able to pay a sou to America.
/ say 1t because there are Americans
here who, hope. will cable my words
across seas. We never can pay the
100000 900 francs we owe America,
with the added interest.
America has all the gold, and we
never could pay in goods on account
of the customs barriers raised by the
United States ITSELF
M. Loucheur added that David Lloyd

agreed in principle. to cancel Frances
debt to Great Britain on condition that
the United States annul Great Britain's
debt of twenty billion francs Referring
to the question of reparations, NJ
Loucheur said France was determined
10 make Germany pay TO tie utmost.
But what can Germany pay?" NJ
I.oucheur asked. Germany must ex-
port In order to obtain gold. and the
real problem is to determine how far
Germany can export without flooding our
markets.
IT thought the goods which might be
supported here to the least detriment to
our commerce were those goods that
might be employed in the devastated
ment."
The collapse of the exchange rates
and the vagaries in the values of cur
fencies, in the view of M. Loucheur.
were the basic causes of the economic
crisis. "The collapse of exchange has
caused the financial chaos in the central
European nations. which is the cause of
the existing economic disorder" he de-
clared.
Asked IL there was any remedy Mr..
Ioucheur replied, Yes. a closer reia
ton must be established between pro-
duction and consumption. The peoples
are absolutely interdependent economi-
cally. Everything must be done to
end unemployment. Consumption must
be developed, we must exert ourselves

year, proved so popular that the Fair
Board has made arrangements to con-
tinue and enlarge it this year. Mrs.

is making extensive plans to accom-
modate all those who desire to avail
themselves of the privilege. In this
