Poincare quoted the Versailles treaty as authority for the legality of the occupation of the Ruhr, cited figures to show that unemployment in England had decreased and that railroad traffic and shipping had in- creased since the French entered Es- sen, and reiterated the French gov- ernment’s earnest desire to come toan agreement with the British govern- ment oni questions in dispute. “The alliances having survived the war,” said ‘M. Poincare, “the allies might have hoped then that the monument which they had erected and cemented with their blood would remain standing upright, indestrue- tible and unshakable. .
