Poincare Calls It “Ridicu-
-lous”—Engiish Papers ‘
See Hope in It.
PARIS. June 8. (Associated Press)
'——Prcmier Poincare upon reading the
German reparations note. is reported
to have called it “ridiculous" and the
Extremist organs take the mine um
tude.
The six loading papers of Paris ap-
ply to the memorandum such epithets
as "inadmissible." "unacceptable" and
"not needing a reply."
la Natin finds that the German
communication has the appearance
of a challenge. so greatly does it fail
to recognise the political situation.
Even the Anti—MinisteriaLL'Oeuvrc
says the new propositions Wicc-
tionahle in many ways. upecially
the suggestion of a moratorium of
four years in which France would re-
ceive nothing. not even the expense
of tho Rhur occupation.
Louis Loucheur‘s organ. Le Petit
Journal. believes there are signs of
certain progress in the proposal for
' guarantees.
In official circles much is made of
the fact that Germany fails to say
whether she is willing to abandon
her policy of passive rcsistance in the
Ruhr.
LONDON. Juno 8. (Associated
Press) .—Tho new German repara-
tions memorandum has created a gen-
erally favorable impression
London newspapers. most of which
regard it as a distinct advance over
any previous proposal. The sugges-
tion of a conference . at which Ger-
many would be represented meets
with the approval of a majority of
the commentators.
The Times which describes the
b
\
tion to the Allies to search- Ger-
many's pockets. thinks it would hard-
ly be reasonable for France to reject
it because' it does not renounce pas-
sive resistance in the Ruhr.
