REPARATIONS

FRANCE ACKNOWLEDGES BRITAIN’S AID NOW ABLE TO DEAL WITH GERMANY NO NEED FOR HASTE By Telegraph.—Press Association. —Copyright. PARIS, May 25. M. Poincare, speaking in the Chamber before the Senate’s decision regarding the Communists was known, paid a tribute to Britain for her action in the Ruhr regarding railways in the British zone, which, he said, greatly facilitated France’s task. Thanks to that, he and France were now in a position to wait until Germany came to reason. If Germany delayed too long, France would take measures to hasten her decision. She would treat Germany in the same manner that France was treated in 1870. The Premier added that coal and coke deliveries were quite satisfactory. France, therefore, was in no hurry. She would not abate her demands in connection with A and B bonds, but C bonds could be negotiated about.--Aus.-N.Z. Cable. IMPORTANT FRANCO-BELGIAN CONFERENCE - - « » PARIS, May 24.
