P0incare Speaks
at Unwilling Shaft
for Soldiers Who Fell

Villers- ottereis, France, July %
| (By A. P.)-Premier Poincare today
| spoke here at a ceremony at the I'M
yelling of monument to the SOL
diers who fell in the world war. He
! made no allusion to the British note
| concerning reparations.
M. Poincare began his address with
a dramatic outline of the French
| counter offensive in the summer of
1918. and then replied to the recent
| speech of David Lloyd George, des-
cribing the prosperity of France. A
| considerable portion OF the speech
dealt with the German general
staff's monstrous program of econ
omic humiliation for France, drawn
up in 1916, by specialists. Of which
we have authentic copies"
To place France and Germany on
the same plane as Mr.. Lloyd George
did was ubiquitous" NJ. Poincare
declared. When Germany rebuilt her
mercantile fleet, developed her rail-
roads and dug new canals, was she
repairing damages or undertaking
Improvement; was she paying for
these improvements from available
resources or to the detriment of pay
ment of her debt to the allies, the
premier asked. All of this might be
amusing" as Mr.. Lloyd George said
he found it. but for France it was sad
even unbearable.
"Why didn't they go into the Ruhr
with us?" asked NJ. Poincare. "They
would better understand what the
real dangers of tomorrow are"
The premier then described the
organization of German industry as
not only vast horizontal cartels, but
as productive vertical concerns con-
trolling all forms of production, from
raw materials to finished products.
Thus, holding a monopoly Of national
