"The Dawes plan now has begun

decision that starting with the year
1926 the total sums collected by
France from the Dawes plan will be
applied for the amortization of the
debts contracted for the restora-

'The so-called Communist peril
has been grossly exaggerated in
France. 1t is true that in Paris
and the suburbs there are 100000 or
100000 Communists, but this is not
surprising for among these Commun-
lists there are many Socialists who
have simply changed their ticket
without any change i'll their opin

"There is no need to fear vic
tory by the Communists. l believe
if elections were held today the
Communists would carry less votes
than on May II, 1924.
"The political situation of France
can be summed up as follows:
"The government of the left has
a little majority in parliament re-
inforced by the group of the radical
left, which has firmly decided on a
policy of support of the government.
"From the Socialist side there is
practiced n policy of support of the
