LAVAL UPHOLDS
FRENCH COURSE
ON WAR DEBTS
Germany Must Pay Before
His Nation Can, Asserts
Former Premier.
BY RICHARD M'NIILLAN
United Press STAN Correspondent

Ncopyrieht. 1892. BY United Press,
PARIS, Dec 16.-France has the
right to withhold war debt pay
ments until world debt confer
ence, with both the United States
and Germany represented, is called
to revise inter- governmental obli-
cations, Pierre Laval told the
United Press in an exclusive inter
view today.
Laval preceded Her-iot as pre-
mier of France.
In such conference, Laval said, the
United States must agree to reduce
her demands on her debtors, and
Germany must consent to pay rep
arations 10 whatever extent experts
decide she has the capacity.
The swart, stock ex-premier,
known to Americans by virtue of
his visit in New York and Wash
ington in 1881, granted this CORE
spondent an interview shortly after
he had conferred with President
Albert Lebrun, to whom he offered
advice on the question of naming a
new cabinet.
Sees Other Crises
He told the president that this
weeks cabinet crisis probably is the
first of several. in view of the diff
culties of the debt situation.
He reiterated carrier declarations
that If l we're the only one to vote
in the senate, 1 would vote against
payment" He explained that he
remains opposed to payment, either
conditional or unconditional, until
the United States and all debtor
nations meet to re-establish debts
on basis where they can be paid
in a reasonable" number of years.
rather than in sixty-two years.
Il never have" Laval said.
agreed to abandon Germany's
separations, without previous agree
ment with the United States. 1
have never gone farther than the
Washington conmuniqve of Oc-
tober, 1881, Which clearly fixes the
debt moratoriums for the period of
the economic depression. (The
washington communique was a
joint statement of President Hoover
and Laval, summing up their con-
Versatlons at the time of Laval's
visit to Washington
Germany Must Pay
MY attitude is not dictated by
what happened at my Washington
meeting with President Hoover, but
by conditions and circumstances
which decided the July, 1881, mora
forum.
In the Washington communioue
there was no question ,of annuling
or reducing debts-it merely limits
the moratorium to the period of de-
preston. AS chief of the govern
ment, always insisted that France
can not pay if France is not paid
by Germany.
To-day there is no question of
annulment, or refusal to paw debts
1t is merely question of suspend
ing payments until the impasse is
broken by new agreement, under
which France will receive her Just
damages from Germany, with which
she can pay England and the
United States"
Laval looks forward to an impor-
tant debate on debts in the French
senate as soon as a new government
is formed. Senator Henry Berenger
may lead the senate attack against
payment, and Laval intends to ex-
pose in detail the extent of his
agreement with President Hoover
and the text of the Washington
communiuue.
