POINCARE ACCUSES
!. GERMAN MAGNATES
Says They Hold Up Reparations-'
Won't Change His Policy

Polncare speaking today at the IN
auguration of a soldiers memorial
here, stated that Germany had been
forced into a Systematically organized
bankruptcy and that certain classes
of the population have been reduced
to misery for the sole benefit OF
wealthy industrial and commercial
leaders.
For this reason he deems it neces-
sary, he said. to hold Germany
pledges until France is paid in full,
and pointed out the progress made in
the Ruhr during French occupation
toward a resumption of economic
activity.
In conclusion he defined the scope
of the inquiry of experts appointed
by the PREPARATION commission by
stating that it must only deal with
Germanys present capacity to pay.
The premier's speech. after n
/ lengthy introduction dealing with the
part the local troops played in the
war, came down TO the present stua-
ton.
Won't Change Policy.
This is not the moment TO change
our conduct and we will not change
! it," the premier declared. I'VE have

In his peroration Premier Poincare
declared that Frances conduct is one
Of the simplest and frankcst nature
possible, without any hidden motive.
France was not ruined, he said, in
order to increase the shameless
wealth OF certain German magnates.

as America TO conspirc against French
unity and protest against the restitu-
