Nature of Plans Secret
by Associated Press.

Paris, April 13.rThe French and
Belgian government ministers, at their
meeting here this afternoon, decided
upon new measures of pressure to be
applied to Germany if it remains un-
yielding on the reparation question.
The nature of the measures was not
disclosed, but the ministers announced
in an official communique that they
are determined to continue pressure
until the Berlin government makes
direct overtures for a settlement.
The meeting was participated in by
Premiers Poincare and Theunis. va
rious members of their cabinets in.
terested in reparation problems. and
a number of experts. AS in the case
of the recent conference at Brussels.
the session was largely devoted TO
technical questions In connection with
the occupation of the Ruhr and the
efforts under way to make productive
the guarantees seized there.
Continue Meeting Today.
The ministers reviewed occupation
reports. but it was impossible to COM
plete their consideration today and
the work will be continued Saturday.
The allied representatives confined
themselves to discussion of the de-
tails of the occupation and the prin-
ciple that it would be continued and
extended until Germany yields, and
it is authoritatively stated that moth
ing else would be considered at the
conference. France and Belgium have
no intention of celebrating a plan of
settlement, it is said.
Must Show Right Spirit.

The recent visit TO London OF Louis
Loucheur, former French minister of
liberated regions, and his interviews
with British statesmen on the repara-
tions question, undoubtedly will be the
subject of conversations at the formal
social functions in honor OF the Bel
gians. but there is little prospect that
1t will appear on the asenda OF the
conference.

Since America produces in farm

We cannot, eat our cake and have

Farmers cannot purchase more

can be profitably marketed.
The Government has its choice.
