By the Associated Press. <PARIS, April 2.—Premier has recelved F: nk B Washington, president of cinted Press, and subscquently author- ized the following statement: Poincare X of “1 was glad to meet the p.’esldenl‘ of the whose France After Assoclated Press, Mr. sentiments with regard have long been known to me. the long voyage he has made around the world [ e has been able to spend some days i Paris and so be in a position per- 4 sonally to inform his countrymen on certain of the questions that seem to most preoccupy the American public Regrets Lack of Support. “Efforts have been made to distort the reasons for and the nature of the policy followed by the French government when it decided to oc- cupy the Ruhr basin. It is by virtue of the treaty of Versailles and in consequence of the defauits of Ger- wmany, certificd by the reparations commission under th treaty, that we went into the Ruhr to bring about final settlement of the repara- tion problem. “We regret that not all of our al- lies participated in this policy of co- ercion which then would have been carried out under less difficult con ditions and de the pressure upon ecalcitrant Germany not only meore eXective, but would ave b ened re sul when the occupation o the Rulir shall have resulted in com pelling Germwany to make precise serfous propositions it will be in accord with our allies that we will sattle the reparation problem.

It has about 30,000 employes, scattered over fourteen _districts throughout the country. Tt super- vises ~ $1,332,000,000 of government life insurance, represented by 37 000 polictes. During 1924 it will ex- pend $428,000,000. It is caring for 26,000 men in hospitals and giving 93,000 vocational training, 86,000 of whom receive maintenance pay. Of every dollar of expenditure, about 93 cents are spent on vocational re- habilitation, compansation and in- surance payments and medical and hospital services. Only 7 cents go for for salaries, rent and miscellaneous charges. With the congressional committee now prying into bureau affairs Gen. Hines has established close liason. Gen. O'Ryan, the committee's general counsel, has been assigned offices ad- jacent to Hines' headquarters, and the bureau official best acqualnted with the big department's Intricacles has been designated to be at O'Ryan’s beck and call. Service Men First. Hines isn't waiting for the com- mittee to discover irregularities. He brings them to its attention. Nor is he waiting for the commiitee to order remedial action. When Hines himself unearths an improper situ- ation, he wields the ax and reports to the committee. He believes in eradicating the evil and “talking about it afterward, “General.” "the writer said, “it's common talk that politicluns and politics, often highly placed, are | mainly responsible for bureau woes.” 1 “Well,"” le rejoined, “I have no or- ders to' pay any atientlon to poli- ticiane.

I ihear from members of Congress, from ime to time, about affairs in which they're interested, but I deal with such maiters strictly on their merits.

That will continue to be the rule. “My principal responsibility s to the service men.
