 Will Heed Neither England Nor Pope-Coercive Methods to Continue
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Paris, July 2.-Solution of the rep arations problem and the Ruhr oc- cupation question by pressure upon France is doomed to failure, accord Ing to semi- official information ob- tained today.
 Strong feeling was evident at the French foreign office against the Brit ish attitude and the tone of the sug- gestions in the recent letter of Pope Plus, which "are based upon French concessions instead of upon bringing Germany to realize the necessity of fulfilling her obligations" it was de- clared.
 French governmental circles are all so convinced the efforts of the British and the Vatican to induce Germany by persuasion to change her attitude will prove fruitless.
 We tried persuasion for three years, without results" one high of- ficial was quoted as saying today. "Co- ercion is the only thing Germany un- derstands."
 The only way out of the present imbroglio Is absolute solidarity among the allies, as obtained during the war. and joint representations to Germany" is the feeling voiced in off, ficial circles here.

It is reported however that the answer is now in the hands of Count de St. Aulaire, the French ambassador here and that 1t is to be communicated today or to- morrow.
 Premier Baldwin, says the Daily Mail while anxious to show an un- broken allied front to Germany is also anxious to reply to the last German reparations offer and if clear answer to the British questionaire is not re- ceived promptly from France the London government may make a statement of policy outlining the terms on which 1t believes a settle ment should be made.

Baldwin finds int difficult to act with France he will take steps to make separate arrangements with Germany to secure for Great Britain the paymentof sufficient money an- nually to cover the interest on the British debt to the United States.
