Germans Facing Hunger;
Brought on Own Ruin, Says Loucheur

~ ARIS.-Responsibility for the
- final ruin of Germany on the
part of France is absolutely
repudiated by Louis LOU
cheur, former minister in both the
Clemenceau and BRAND cabinets and
the man most frequently mentioned
as successor to Premier Poincare.
In the course of a rather impas-
stoned interview M. Loucheur de-
clared that the policy of the French
government has the unanimous sup
port of the French people and that
it was dictated neither by militarism
nor by a desire for annexation, but
solely by an unalterable determina-
tion to obtain security.
"The financial ruin of Germany"
he said, "has been brought about by
the foolish financial policy of her
government and has nothing what
ever to do with the situation in the
Ruhr. She has had at her govern
mental helm men who don't UNDER
stand one iota of the real problem
before them and whom I cannot ex-
cuse under any circumstances"

method of settlement and one that
will guarantee substantial justice to

party to the dispute as provided for

what solution he could offer to the
