Premiers Gather at Paris To Again

lDoubtful That French Will Insist Upon Their
Plan for Occupancy
By Associated Press
HAMBURG. Dec. 31.—Tho Franco-
German non—war pact proposed by
Germany to France through the me-
diation of a neutral power has been
rejected by Premier Poincare. This
statement was made by the German
Chancellor. Wilhelm Cuno. in the
course. of a. significant speech before
the Hamburg Bourse today.
The Chancellor’s revelation was the
government had recently undertaken
serious steps to placate German war
pose of the recurrent French accusa-
tions that Germany was arming for a
new war.
The German New Year’s non-war
pact was proposed to France through
the medium of an unnamed power.

land. and provided for a solemn pledge
by all the powers interested in the
Rhine that none of them should wage

would commit each nation which was
a party to the pact to a. peace policy
and would afford the most secure
guarantee conceivable.
“To my regret." said the chancellor.
"France has seen fit to reject our pro-
posal.”
The major part of the chancellor's
speech was devoted to a discussion of
reparations and their effect. on the
national and international situation.
He gave the barest outlines of the new
German proposals. declaring that the
government had decided to name a
definite sum. which it believed it would
be able to pay off through the aid of a.
system of domestic and foreign loans.
He expressed strong approval of the
sentiments voiced by the Amelrcan
secretary of state at New Haven. and
believed that Mr. Hughes’ views .close-

PREMIEBS GATBER
By Associated Press
PARIS. Dee. 31.—.-The official open-
ing of the Premiers' conference on
reparations is set for Tuesday with
the expectation that it will continue
at least until Saturday. if not far into
the following week. The length of
time will depend entirely on the rap-
idity and progress of the negotiations.
So far there has been no request from
the British Prime Minister, Bonar'
Law, for a. meeting with Premier
Poincare before the opening session.
The main [act would appear to be
that the conference will proceed with
greater calm than similar confer-
ences. if the mutual expressiops of
good will between the British and
French Premiers count for anything.

When Bonar Law. the British
Prime Minister and the members of
the British delegation. armed with
portfolios and handbags filled with
documents, alighted from the Calais
tum at 6:30 this evening. Bonar Law
was salted: “Do you think the con-
ference will be a. success?"
He laughed and exclaimed: "What
a Question!" He repeated it in French
to the representative of the French
Foreign Office, who merely smiled :.nd
shrugged.
Premier Poincare today presided
over a. Cabinet council and presented
to the Ministers the plan which he
will submit to the conference of Pre—
miers next Tuesday on the question
of reparations.
