 Protect France

By The Associated Press.

His for eign policy. he added, was not deter mined by it's effect on the coming elections or on internal affairs and could stand discussion in broad day. light.
 France would evaeuste the Ruhr if she were not convinced that the occu- patton was legal and would become profitable. The premier told the chamber that France would have had nothing this year if she had not talk en the Ruhr; she would not have had protection nor held guarantees.
 He denied that Germany made any new proposal just before the Ruhr was occupied. The German ambassa- dor, he said, had only transmitted the offer from Baron von Maltzan Ger n,an under-secretary of foreign af- tairs) Of ?O,o0o,o o,ooo.ooo gold marks.
 "A ridiculous offer" commented the premier, flor that amount should already have been paid if the treaty was strictly enforced"
 It was simply a German maneuver to prevent France from seizing guar antees, he declared. adding:
 If we had not occupied the Ruhr. Germany, mistress of her coal and steel works would have continued to enrich herself, at our expense, and at the end of the moratorium if we had asked for anything she would have answered, Come and get it,"
