FRANCE AND ENGLAND
AGAIN TO TAKE UP
PREPARATIONS MATTER
Former Willing to Accept
Reductions If Ruhr Pol
icy Accepted.
By PAUL SCOTT MowRER.
Special Cable to the San Antonio Light
and the Chicago Daily News.
Copyright, 1873.


Copyright. 1873.
Paris, April 13.-Important nego-
tiations have been begun between
France and Great Britain looking to-
ward the possible reconstruction of
the entente on the reparations ques-
ton. Count Saint Aulaire, French
ambassador to London has Just re-
turned to his post with verbal instruc-
tons from Premier Poincare to in
form Premier Bonar Law that France
is willing to discuss the reduction of
the reparations total and the question
of Franco-Belgian security provided
Great Britain first accepts the policy
of the Ruhr occupation, but not other
wise.
Under no conditions will France
agree to evacuate the Ruhr district
upon a mere renewal of promises by
Germany. When Germany actually
begins to pay, France and Belgium
will progressively, and proportionate-
ly to the payments received, evacuate
both the Ruhr and the Rhineland,
but it is nevertheless the intention
of France to maintain a mission of
engineers and a neuclHs of troops in
Essen until the last payments are re-
ceived. The engineers would watch
the working of the German indus
tries, to prevent reparations frauds
and the troops would provide a frame
work for renewal of the military &C.
cupation in case of another German
default.
This information is from the best
possible French source. 1t should be
added, however, that the inner
French circles are not optimistic over
the outcome of the new Franco Brit
ish conversations. It is feared that
the Bonar Law government will feel
unable to agree to the French insist
ence upon the prolonged occupation
of Essen
