(By the Associated Press.) The Briand ministry present ed to parliament today its programme. In which disarmament of Germany takes first place and the payment of reparations as provided for In the treaty of Versailles second place. The programme contained a significant re minder that France has the force to impose execution of the undertakings signed liy Germany and would be t ble to use it if necessary, although, true to her republican traditions, she wishes to bring Germany to fulfill her obligations by pacific methods. The declaration of the government was read by Premier Briand in the chamber and bv Senator Marraud in the senate. It. wjis heard with tense interest and was interrupted frequently by general applause. Prompt Revival Forfei. Germany's prompt economic revival was forseen and the declaration said any idea of deprecating or obstruct ing it was far from the thoughts of the government. 'But." It was added, "prosperity of the aggressor coming after her de feat, in contra with the ruin of the victorious people, would be, according to the most elementary morality, a challenge France cannot accept. We have the force and would be able to use it if necessary to impose respect to all undertakings signed, but re publican France-ie essentially pacific and it is in peace she wants to bring Germany to execute the obligations he has signed." Referring to the relations of France and the United States, M. Briand de clared that the imperishable bonds formed on the battlefields in the war will, "guarantee crur union in peace as in war," He added: Support Held Aaanrrd. "We are sure our American friends will give us tor the reparation of the damages we sustained the same sup port that decided the victory in the Treat war in which we defended to gether the cause of civilization." Referring to the attitude of the United States toward the league of cations, the declaration said: "We respect the scruples which made them hesitate to indorse a given league of nations, of which, however, they have never doubted the generous and beneficent principles." Kniclinh Aid Expected. The declaration expressed confi dence that England will aid all she can to reach an understanding be tween the aHtes, which it said is a prime necessity to the settlement of ail questions concerning peace. "France claims all its due," the declaration said. "She does not de mand the impossible but what now is most important is that all facilities of the debtor for payment in money and in any other form shall be ap plied to the-profit of the creditor." The urgency of an effective peace with Turkey was reeoguized and the' declaration asserted that "taking into account the pew circumstances the conversations going on with our allies will solve the Oriental ques tion." Reda Are Not ReeojtniBed. The declaration said France cannot resume relations with Russia so long as there is not at Moscow a regime that really represents the Russian people. "Bolshevism is Russian," the decla ration added, "and so long as- It re mains confined within the Russian frontiers we have no right to inter vene in the affairs of Russia, but it Is impossible to admit that" the soviet armies shall leave their territory to attack our allies." The other principal points were re duction of the military service with out weakening the military force of France so long as Europe still is un pacified, reduction of expenditures, leorganization of the financial admin istration, intensification of recon struction and indulgence toward the working classes.
