ASKS UNITED STAND

Berlin. Jan. 1S.-France. is kindhnl
fire which will threaten to consume al
Europe. President Locbe, of the Reich
stag, warned today at n meeting oil
that body which voted confidence in
!. Chancellor Cuno's government, after
debating the occupation of the Ruhr
valley.
The same historic chamber which
rang with applause during the war.
when German victories over France
were announced. today heard the Ger.
man government leaders appealing to
their people TO be brave under French
oppression" .r
After the debate. there was an i'm.
pressive testimonial of faith in the eX-
isdng ministry. All delegates, with
the exception of the Communists, voted
confidence in the government.
At the opening, of the session Locbe
asked the French people 10 avert the
catastrophe consequences of Pre-
mier Poincare's policy. ...- -
CunO Asks United Front.
Cuno, following Loebe, declared that
efforts TO reach concrete economic
understanding continue unavailing and
that the fire France is kindiing in the
Ruhr valley will threaten to sweep Eu-
rope. -
! ask the world,q lie said dramatical-
ly,s has ever a people fulfilled its pro-
misses TO greater extent than the Ger
man people, weakened by hunger and
suffering as it is. "
He emphasized that Germany has
ben thus weakened and asserted that
his country had done It's utmost to meet
the claims of France financially, econo-
micaliy and politically, offering also as
understanding to guarantee peace-but
France rejected everything, putting
might above right.
This policy OF France, however, will
be successful, only if tine German peo-
pie are not united" the chancellor pro.
claimed.
7 The nation must stand together" he
declared, asking vote of confidence.
French journalists were barred from
the press gallery today. However, they
heard all the proceedings from the dip
lomatic tribune.
