PREMIER SAYS FRANCES DE.
MANDS STILL ARE "REPARA-
TIoNS AND SECURITY"
DENIES OFFER MADE
SAYS GERMANY'S STATEMENT
WAS INVENTED FOR THE
OCCASION.

Tours, Mouse, France. - Premier
Poincare, speaking before thousands Of
residents of the Mouse department as
sembled in the town of Void at the
unyeiling of a monument to the war
dead, reiterated emphatically that
Frances essential conditions to a rap
prochement with Germany are now, as
always, Preparations and security"
The premier, in a speech which was
remarkable because it contained only
a few casual references to the Ruhr,
drew a parallel between the earnest
and successful efforts of the French
to pay indemnity and liberate their
territory after 1871, and Germany's
apathy, refusal and resistance in the
matter of paying after 1918. Reply
ing to a speech recently delivered in
the Reichstag by Baron Won Rosen-
berg, NJ. Poincare said:
"Germany's minister of foreign af-
fairs pretended that we entered the
Ruhr without sufficient cause, and
that we rejected in January, 1923, an
offer of 30,00O,0 200, 900 marks made to
the allies Jointly. This offer was in
vented for the occasion. 1t was never
made.
But let us admit for the sake of
argument that Baron Won Rosenberg
told the truth. What would follow?
That Germany, after formally admit
ting her Indebtedness of 49,, 900, O00,-
900 marks in May, 1921, and after
having obtained in return for this ad-
mission the concession that the Ruhr
should not be occupied, designed in
January, 1923, to offer the allies less
than a quarter of the sum promised
by her and fixed by the PREPARATIONS
commission. And, at what price would
she have us pay forsthis strange con
fession She asked us for a mora
forum of three or four years, and
consented to give neither tangible
security nor guarantee.
How could we have faith in the
promise of 1928, eighteen months after
the agreement of 1921 had been made
and violated? How could
we be fools enough to give the reich
that confidence the allies so generous
- oNNoAhtd VI may iC-ls anu MDlCH
was so outrageously abused?"
"We are exhausted with the restor-
alton of Il devastated regions he
concluded. 1--WE will not and we can
not continue Indefinitely these adj
vances we are making on Germany's
ccoun Charity begins at home. 1t
is not only because we ought to put
these interests of France foremost in
our thoughts, but because without a
guarantee of our independence and
without reconstruction neither the res
toration of Europe nor the mainten-
ance of peace is possible"
NJ. Poincare, as well as NJ. Maginot,
the var minister, who accompanied
him, is n native of Lorraine, and,
speaking to his own people, he was in
troduced by the mayor of the little vii
lage as "the most illustrious child Of
our dear Lorraine"
