"CRUDELY PHRASED"

SPEECH BY POINCAEE ANNOYANCE IN GERMANY (filcc To]. Copyright—United Press Asan.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) (Received June 23, 10 a.m.) PARIS, June 22. M. Poincare's Luneville speech has been received badly in Germany, where it was regarded as emphasising the fact that Germany had lost tho war and must pay the price of defeat. The general idea in Paris, however, is that M. Poineare intended to emphasise France's dqgire to keep within the limits of the treaties, though M. Ikiand would have phrased tho desire less crudely and less abruptly.

At the unveiling of the war memorial at Luneville, M. Poineare stated that France was not seeking reasons to maintain the perpetual hatred and resentment towards Germany, but why should high authorities in Germany carry on a campaign demanding a revision of the Dawes plan'/ If Germany stated definitely that no attempt would be enade to regain Alsace-Lorraine, either by violence or by trick, if she organised her police, dissolved military societies, ana destroyed her fortresses, she would give tin; world guarantees of her pacific intentions, and facilitate a rappioaehment that France would be the first to desire.
