GERMAMS SEEK REVENGE'
OBJECTION TO EVACUATION
DRAMATIC FRENCH INCIDENT
ALLEGED LETTER BY FOCH
By Toleeraph— Press Assn.—Copyright. Paris, Dec. 27. There was a dramatic incident in the Chamber of Deputies when Deputy Reibal read a document, signed by the late Marshal Foch, which strongly opposed the evacuation of the Rhineland before the treaty date.
The document, which was dated October, 1026, said Germany was daily becoming stronger and desired revenge. The withdrawal from the Rhineland would place France in an exceptionally grave position. The Foreign Minister, M. Briand, in reply, admitted ignorance of the document, although as Minister of the Interior in a former Government, he was Marshal Foch’s chief and worked with him four days of the week. He added that he did not know how his colleagues came into possession of the document, but it was a sorry state of affairs.
M. Reibal remarked, “I simply did my duty,” and the incident closed.
