Poincares View

| Premier Poincare, in short. main
tains the attitude he has taken from
the day he retired from the presi-
dency of the reparation commission,
which is that this body alone Is quail
fled under the treaty of Versailles to
| take up such questions as the exam
ination of Germany's capacity for pay
ment
There is no reason to suppose, eth
err that the French premier is ready
to accept any revised estimate, even
il it were made by the commission. 1t
was declared by high officials of the
foreign office this morning that lie
still held to the schedule of payments
adopted in London in 1921, with a. to-
tai of 1872, ,o0o,o0o,o 900 gold marks.
Jusserand Informed
Ambassador Jusserand, who is ex-
pected to reach Washington next week
had a long talk with the premier
Wednesday evening when the whole
subject was gone over.
NJ. Poincare had already carefully
weighed ali the consequences of the
decision, having had Prime Minister
Baldwin's proposal in hand since Sat
urday, with all of Sunday to think
about it in calm at his summer home
in Sampigny. The premier was plac-
ed in an extremely difficult situation.
He was most reluctant to reject any
proposition that had received the ap-
proval of the American government,
but at the same time, it is understood,
he does not wish to throw the whole
question into an International confer
ence which may possibly deal with the
matter as though the treaty of ver-
sailles did not exist.
