P.)— France ‘tonight is gloomily taking stock of “amother reparations failure at Lon- don. Premier Poincare returncd to Par- is with a worried air, and parliamentary s well as governmental circles are decp ly disappointed. Thete is an air of foresd hope in some of the newspapér comments, In which it is suggested that France may vet in- uge the allies to approve the seizure of the Rhur and other guarantecs at the resmption of the inter-allied con- ference here on January 2. France's grim determination to go it alome, if Decessary, in order to lay her hands on Something tangible that will make Ger- many act, is stll the dominant note In the newspapers and political discussions, There is some criticism that the gov- ernment bas already -delayed too long and there is great concern over the im- pending necessity of France acting In- dependently, but’ there is general agree- ment that the London failure is disillu- sioning. M. Poincare will state his case be- fore the chamber of deupties Friday, al though a full cabinet meeting has been summorned for tomorrow morning, which may change his programme. The pre- mier is still determined that there shal be “no moratorium without guarantees, £5¢ as Facyues Dainville says in La Li- berte, “It is clear that if guarantees are abandoned, or even if there is no longer - belief in the usefulness of selz- ing guarantees, then there is nothing left.” Reparations will become nothing more than a dream,” with a succession of cancellations of inter-allied debts pre- dicated upon a reduction of Germany's debt until “the slate is wiped clean, clean for everybody, except us, who bear the. burden.” The Temps brushes aside “the _polite interpretations” of the London adjourn- ment, and after referring to the condi tion of French finances repeats: “No moratorium without a guarantee of the Rhur.” As. for possible British cancellation of the French debt, the Tempts says: “It would' not help the French treasusg for a moment.” The Journal Des Debats regrets that there ,is so much talk about the Ruhr, léaging the British to think it a “puni- tive expedition,” and the witld to co main object, instead of its being merely @ means to an end, which is pressure on German industrials to make them elean: house and prepare to pay.

The jus- tice ruled that such testimony was not | permissible unless Mrs. Brunen was pres- ent when Mohr spoke. When Powell had finished his long recitation of how Mohr had begged him to find some Way of getting rid of Brun- en, how both of them had bought shot- €uns in Phiiadelphia for the slaying and how Powell was promised $1) deed, he was subjected to a sharp cross- examination by the counsel for the de- fense.

After the advocates of early action for relief of the farmer had counted noses and announced they had a’majority in favor of enacting such legislation ahead of the ship bil,. the republican leaders conceded on the senate floor that the ship measure sponsored . by _President Harding would have to bé.laid as whenever a rural credits bill was ready.
