FISKE - CQ PRODUCING STATIONERS FRANCE FORFRM Paris Editor‘Says Rhineland Will Be Seized if Brussels * Parley Fails. : CANNOT WAIT ANY LONGER Nation Has Paid 96 Billion Francs for Pensions .and Restoration, With Nothing From Germany. BY STEPRANE LAUEZANNE, Editor-in-Chietf of Le Matin. PARIS, November 20.—It is to be most. sincerely hoped that the coming Brus- sels conference will succeed, for it is most certainly the last international at- tempt to which France will lend her- self for settling the question of the reparations amicably. In the nt of its not meeting with succt France would then take back her freedom of uction and would inforce payment to her by her own means. France cannot wait any longer. Up to November she has paid 96,- 000.000,000 francs, and on Japuary 1 she will paid ~ 100,000,000,000 francs 000,000,000 at the present rate ge) for the pensions and for the restoration of the devastated dis- north of France.

She notes that of the 1.- 000,000,000 gold marks actually paid down by Germany in money or in kind not a cent has been given to her for reparations. So she is de- termined, once for all, to put a stop to the present state of things and to_act. ‘What will she do if the Brussels conference fails?
