POINCARE’S SPEECH SAYING 5, FRANCE WILL NOT GIVE IN IS NOT REPLY TO BRITAIN Paonessa Advises Him First to Get Statement From Gilchreest The Wexler-Stein. _building con- troversy has reached the office of Mayor A, M. Paonessa, an offlcial visit having been made today by M. Ru- benstein, who is a partner of Stein, for the purpose of presenting a griev- ance against the chairman of the bullding commission. Mayor Paonessa advised the visitor to secure from the building inspector/ a statement to what his refusel to issue a building permit for alterations on the Wilcox property'is based on. Stein has applied for a permit and has submitted plans to the inspector. Inspector John C. Gilchreest told Judge G. W. Klett, Stein's counsel, that before the plans had been offered for examination, he had been asked by a member of the commission to deny a permit, Stein claims that so far he has received no statement as to what particular building ordinance | ie violated, there having been some mention of objection to veneering the building, a wooden structure, and also some talk of walls that do not meet the requirements of the ordinance, Judge Klett has requestted a written refusal, which is a step in the presentation of a formal complaint to | the city court or a board of arbitra- tion. The, written refusal has not yet been given. Mayor Paqnessa assured Rubenstein that he would personally investigate the matter. Stein claims the whole controversy has its foundation in personal feelings against him on the part of Israel Wexler, his former business associate, and now chalrman of the building commission. He alleges that Wex- ler has discriminated against him and { has held him up on every job he has undertaken since Wexler has been in office, which is nearly two years. RAPHAEL SELLS MAIY ST.

By The Assoclated Press, Paris, July 16.—Premier Polnoare’s address at Senlls yesterday was a mere reiteration of the French gove |ernment’s policy and was not in- tended as a reply to the recent repa- ration speech of Premier Baldwin of. Great Britaln it was explained In officlal circles here today. The en=; tire address, with the exception of & few paragraphs, was written befors the British premlier spoke, it was stated.

British Hopes Dashed By The Associated Press. London, July 16.—British hopes of assuming the allied leadership in the negotiations for a reparations settle- | ment with Germany are considered here to have had a serious setback by reason of the speech of Premier Poincare of France at Senlls Sunday. Nevertheless, the British offiolals who returned to Dowping street today to resume drafting a reply to the latest German offer were not sure that _the situation was as gloomy as the news from Paris seemed to indicate. The officlal British attitude is that the least gaid about the Poincare ad- dress the better. It' is recognized {than theatmosphere of war mem | unveiling was not suitable for the g ! nouneement of any change s policiés and the fanrt that Poincare merely reaffirmed the TI'rench views without making them any stronger, offered some little satis« faction and encouragement. ‘Will Prepare Note The British, it is indicated, will proceed with the work of drafting the note to be submitted to the Allies and the United States as if M. Poincare had not spoken. The completed draft of the document probably will g0 to the cabinet tomorrow. The French premier's pronounce- ment has left the British undaunted in their efforts to make proposals ac- ;ceptnble to the Allies. As for the French premier's fears that a new reparation committee would be nothing more than a ‘“coalition of the interests opposed to us,” the British reply is that such a commission can casily be formed with strict legal re- gard for the treaty of Versailles if the Allies are willing.
