REVISION MADE.0N
 P0INCARE SPEECH
New Interpretation Intended to
 Relieve Bad Impression

Paris, June 20 R,-Oficial circles today gave out q revised version of Premier PoinCare's quotation of President Hoover on the debt que;- ton yesterday. fearing it would create an unfavorable impression.
 The premier. who had told a joint meeting of the foreign affairs and finance commttees of the chamber Of deputies that the Mellen- Berenger jebt accord was unfavorable to Fr9nce, but that it should neverthe- less be ratified, quoted the presi- dent as saying: There can be no question as to whether a debt has moral foundation, but only whether it has been contracted"
 The premier. 1t was said today, preceded this quotation with the ex- planation that President Hoover. when secl etary of commerce, at To- iedo, recalled that the allied debt CTS had given solemn assurances of repayment" and then continued the matter of the moral or actual basis of these obligations Is not in ques- ton. Repudiation of these loans would ruin the whole structure o! international good faith"
