REPARATIONS PUT NEXT
Support of Inked States in Obtain
ing Just Dues Is Declared
to Be Assured. ,
PARIS, Jan. 50. (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.

said Mr. Teal "had resigned." Com
missioner Teal, it may be said, has not
indicated an intention to resign, but
has only said that he does not seek
reappointment.
Failure of the senate to confirm the
present nomination before March 4
makes reappointment necessary if
he would continue to serve in the
office.

told of his experiences today. The
plane was one of the 12 Pacific fleet
machines which left .San Diego De
cember 30.
"When we ran into the hurricane
our engine was giving trouble," he
said. "The wind was blowing about
45 miles an hour and the seaplane
was flung about like a boy's kite
with an insufficient tail. Eventually
it fluttered to the sea about 20 miles
from land. We taxied to the beach
under tremendous difficulties in a
seething smother of spume and in the
teeth of the gale, striking the coast
25 miles north of Gigante, whare the
NC-6 alsi arrived eventually.
"The Kanawha arrived and took
the NC-5 in tow, later handing it over
to the destroyer Mugford, which took
the crew aboard and continued tow
ing the plane. The line parted owing
to the heavy sea, however, the NC-5
eventually sinking."
The tug Gannet is in port here,
taking aboard material to repair the
NC-6, which is lying on the beach at
Gigante. If possible, repairs will be
completed at Gigante. otherwise the
plane will be brought here.
The crews of. the NC-5 and NC-6
