Copyright, 1921 : PARIS. France, February 28 —Coin- cident with the opening of the new reparations discussion in London with the Germans, the following statements rade in the course of recent debates i the -French chamber of deputies may be presented as a supplement to Premier Briand's statement that “if Germany does rot open her pocket- Took with good grace. we will open it by force.” By Louis Barthou, minister of war— “The government is negotiating with & sincere desire for the conservation of the peace that is 50 necessary to the country, but if France should meet with resistance. if Germany refuses to recognize French rights, if the execu- tion of the treaty of Versallles is threatenéd by such refusal, then France must bé able not only to speak but to act.” . By Andre Lefevre, former minister of war—“Nobody can doubt that if we #hould now adopt a policy of abandon- ment and weakness it would lead us mathematically to another war. War Cripple’s Adviece. By Deputy Barillet, who is a war eripple—~We have lived through all the horrors of war, and never again want 1o see such frightful slaughter, but we think, if it is necessary to act alone to obtain the performance of agreements made by our enemies, it would be bet- ter to act now while we are strong enough to have recourse to police op- erations without » the effusion of By Cable (o Th blood, rather than submit ten years i hence to a new aggression by those whom it was our duty to strike down and whom our tolerant weakness per- mitted to arise again.” By Deputy Pierre Forgeot, who has won a tremendous personal success by his speeches on the reparations ques- tion—"Our poor France is bearing heavy burdens, but she is bearing them not with humility and weakness, but with humanity and nobility of sou). “If, however, these burdens should become. 0o heavy, I say that she would have tife right to th off ang 4 < wearin, £ v en‘ou" of._fo! and mot Having been able to bfin ustice froma oth- ers, to do ju to ‘herself.

Reverse the rule and you will find the solution.” o Raymond Poincare, Andre Tardieu and others who object to making con- Cessions on the reparations question have been widely characterized in the United States recently as ex- tremists. It should be remembered, Fowever, that these are the men Wwho ‘have the whole country behind them. The Briand ministry is considerably more moderate than is_either the ‘rench parliament or the French peo- le. who are determined to insist pon_ what they consider to be their just dues to the limit. WOULD TAKE CENTER MKT. Bill Reported Provides for Opera- tion by the Government. The House bill to repeal certain parts of the charter and lease granted to the Washington Market Company by acts of Congress was reported favorably to the Senate today by the Senate District committee. Senator Ball of Delaware was instructed to make the report and to seek action on _the bill at the present session. ‘The bill provides that the Washing- ton Market Gompany's holdings, the Center market. shall be taken over by the government and that in the | future the market shall be operated under the Secretary of Agriculture. The site of the Center market al- ready is owned by the government, but the building was erected by the ‘Washington Market Company. Senator Moses of New Hampshire @appeared before the committee in #upport of the bill. It appeared that the stock in the company is largely held by constituents of his in New Hampshire. who are anxious to have| the matter closed up, Senator Moses. On May 20, 1870, Congress chartered the Washington Market Company, and by that charter gave a ninety- nine-year lease to the site of the Center market at an annual rental of $25,000. Later a reduction in the rent was made from $25.000 to $7.500. The charter of the Washington Market according to ‘ompany provides that after thirty years Congress may cancel the lease and take back the property upon paying to the Washington Market Company the value of the buildings and improvements erected thereon by the market company. The bill reported today provides for the appointment by the President of a commission to appraise the prop- erty.

An “isle of safety” at Scott Circle occupied by an automobile attracted the attention of motorists and pedes- trians this morning. and many in- quiries were made as to what hap- pened to occupants of a damaged automobile that had not been moved from the scene. Five hundred dollars had been denosited with the police by John Lawrence McDonald, forty-siven years old, 1028 §th street, whose damaged car attracted attention, ges of violating the traffic regu- lations having been preferred against him. According to a police report Me= Donald’s car, moving south on 14th street about 3 o'clock t morning, | struck and damaged a taxicab parked | in front of a taxicab office at 2214 14th | street. A man employed in the office | followed in a taxicab to have him ar- rested because, it was charged, he | failed to stop after the accident hap- pened. Policeman Geary of the third pre- cinct joined in the chase and called to McDonald to stop, but it was not until the struck the platform of | the isle of safety, damaging the plat- form and breaking a wheel of the vehicle, that it became possible for | Geary ‘to arrest the occupant. Five separate charges werg lodged against McDonald when he reached the third precinct police station. and the collateral was deposited for his appearance in Police Court today.

AUTOMOBILE COLLIDES WITH ISLE OF SA CIRCLE. 28 STH STREET, SEPARATE PROPOSED INQUIRY REJECTED IN GREECE Telegram to London States Opposition to Plan for Thrace and Smyrna. By the Associated 1 ress. LONDON, February 28—Greece has refused to accept the proposal that an investigation of conditions be made in Thrace and Smyrna preparatory to CHARC making alterations’ in the Sevres treaty. M. Kalogeropoulos, head of Greek delegation in this city, received a telegram to this rom the Athens government. The telegram was not presented of- ficially to the allied premiers and they were simply allowed to know its contents indirectly. It is considered possible, therefore, that a subsequent telegram may annul the one received today. In any event. the Greek re- fusal was not taken seriously, it was said in allied circles. Confer With Greeks and Turks. Pending the opening of the conf ence on reparations, representatives of the allied foreign offices took up a number of questions with the Grecks and Turks today, among which is the appointment of a Turk to the Com- stantinople financial commission. It is probable that Djavid Bey, a former minister of finance, will be appointed. The Greek legation in London re- ceived last night a message that mass meetings had been held in Athens, Piraeus and Smyrna, at which were passed resolutions declaring that Greece ‘was “prepared for any sacrifice of blood in defease of her sacred rights, which were embodied in the Sevres treaty,” and recording the painful im- pression given Greece at the proposal that an interallied commission inves- tizate conditions in Thrace and Asia Minor. In the meantime, Moslem members of the council and state legislative assembly of Delhi have asked the sec- retary of state for India to suggest to the near east conference the res- toration of Thrace and Smyrna to the Turks. Counter charges that cruel- ties have been inflicted by the Greeks upon Turkish subjects in the Smyrna region have been filed by Turks. Dilemma Before Allfes. Newspapers of this city today dis cussed the dilemma before the allie pointing out that calling Into ques tion two of the vital sections of the Sevres treaty might jeopardize the whole settlement, and that the allies might lose Greek support without gaining the good will of the Turks. In other words, it was said that if full execution of the Sevres pact should be insisted upon, the Greek army—the sole instrument for its enforcement— might no longer be available. Thus opens a week which the Lon- don Ttmes declares “probably will de- cide the fate of the entente, and with it the future of the world."” LEAVE JAIL; TAKE OFFICE. WINNIPEG, February 28.—Five leaders of the general strike in Win- nipeg. who have been in Jail for nearly a year, will receive their free- dom today.
