POINCARE'S SPEECH TAKEN BADLY BY GERMAN PEOPLE.
By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright Aus. and N.Z. Cable Association.' PARIS, June 22. M. Poincare's speech at Luneville has been received badly in Germany, where it is regarded as emphasising the fact that Germany lost the war and must pay the price of defeat. The general idea in Paris, however, is that M. Poincare intended to emphasise France’s desire to keep within the limits of treaties, though M. Briand would have phrased the desire less crudely and abruptly. Important references to Franco-Ger-man relations were made by M. Poincare at the unveiling of a war memorial at Luneville. He said that France was not seeking reasons to maintain perpetual hatred and resentment towards Germany, but why should the high authorities of Germany carry on a campaign demanding the revision of the Dawes Plan? If Germany stated definitely that no attempt would be made to regain Alsace and Lorraine either by violence or a trick, and if she reorganised her police, dissolved her military societies and destroyed her fortresses, she would give the world guarantees of her pacific intentions, and facilitate rapprochement that France would not be the last to desire.
