Marcel Cachin, communist deputy.
These Interruptions brought cries
from the deputies of the right and

against the safety of the state as the
result of activities in Essen.
When Cachin entered. shortly after
the premier and attempted to slip into

center of the floor, pointed at him
and shouted demands that he be ex-
PEELED.
This chamber cannot, with dignity.

Cheered by Chamber.
NJ. Poincare was cheered for fully
hye minutes by a crowded chamber.
All the deputies, with the exception
of the communists, rose to their feet
to honor him, and many crowded to
to shake his hand. He made no ap-
peal for sympathy nor effort at elo-
quence as he began his speech.
If Germany" he said, would make
a serious appeal to the industrial in
terests of Germany she would have
no need for a moratorium.
After having been led from confer
ence to conference, and after misun-
derstanding after misunderstanding
we came to the point where we felt
complications, and there was nothing
we could do but watch our interests
in Germany
Patient Too Long.
That is what we are going to do
for the present. We may be obliged
to resort to constraint in case Ger
many remains unyielding. We have
been patient too long but we wanted
first to exhaust every means of COM
promise and persuasion.
I'VE have made every concession
compatible with our own situation.
Unfortunately we have been unable
to agree with our allies. the British"
Il want the premier emphasized,
Ito pay the warmest tribute to the
courtesy and loyalty with which Mr..
Bonar Law conducted the negotia-
tions. But to our great regret, we
found the British plan was such a
profound revision OF the treaty of
Versailles that 1t was impossible for
us to accept 1t.
"It was a revision that implied the
most important advantages to Ger
many and greater disadvantages to
France. We could not accept such a
construction of the situation"
In the course of his declaration the
premier said there was no possible
comparison between the interallied
debts and the reparations. The latter,
he said, must be paid frst.
Explains His Steps.
Resuming his outline of the steps
leading to the recent situation, he
said:
"A plan of financial REORGANIZATION
very reasonable in its terms was pro-
posed to Germany by the reparations
commission. Germany did not see fit
to accept 1t. Consequently there was.
nothing for France to do but consider
what measures might be taken that
were likely to protect her interests.
Our experts have estimated the
production from the measures we
have started to enforce at one bill
lion gold marks per year"
I'm describing the French plan M.
Poincare said 1t Comprised the event
ual occupation of Essen and Bochum.
II Germany failed to carry out our de-
mands."
Referring to the announcement of
the withdrawal of the American
forces from the Rhineland, the pre-
mier said that 1t was entirely TO
Harding's credit that he re-
manned consistent with the views ex~
pressed during his political campaign,
when it was intimated that the pres
ence of the Americans was ne longer
advisable or necessary on the Rhine.
