PARIS CONFERENCE.
Paris, Jan. 3.
M. Poincare took brtunity at the first meeting of the Cun- ference to reply to Dr. mino's speech of Dec. 81, Hs pointed out that the covenant in the Treaty of Versailles already confined a formal ündertaking of non-aggression, which was binding on Franco and would also apply to Germany as soon as she was admitted to the League of Nationa, Pak
Referring to the British proposals Mr. Bonar Law pointed out that if we got every penny we hoped to get from Germany, we would as much not receive from Germany and from our Allies combined, as we owed to America, but he was of opinion that it was useless to approach the question from the viewpoint of our needs but as a busi- ness proposition, realising that there was no chance of receiving a considerable sum until German credit is restored. He concluded that the British earnestly desired to act in accord with the flies, and he was convinced that the French Government desired to similarly act but the danger lay in a possible difference of public opinion in both countries making an agreement between the Governments difficult and perhaps impossible.
# French programme for An authoritative interpretation of the the Conference declares that France will not agree to #gechuction of: her share of reparations unless the Allies agree to‘a different arrange- ment relative to their claims on Germany Regarding the inter-Allied debts, France is unable to pay her debt or interest until Germany has completed the restoration of the devastated regions. The programme insists on the stabilisation of German currency, the balancing of the

In the event of default the pre- Tramme contemplates as "pledges" the installation of an Inter-Allied Commission at Easen to control the ceal oatpat, and exploit the forests, also it requisitions the occupied territory of the Ruhr including export duties, the control and issue of licenses and seizure of customS Lreceipts and coal taxes. The foregoing is estimated to yield one milliard gold marks annually. The "sanctions" comprise military nccupation of Essen, Bochum and part of the Ruhr basin and the establishment of a customs barrier east of the occupied territory without prejudice to postponement of the date of Anal evacuation of

Paris, Jan. 5.
pre-
A semi-steial French statement, rourdly condemning the British scheme, particularly objects to the suggestion that France should abandon to Britain her gold deposit in London, amounting to over a milliard franca; likewise the proposal to entrust control of German finances to a Council of representatives of the Allies, United States and another neutral, with the German Finance Minister presiding, and conclades that the impression in political circles relative to the posal- bilities of agreement are decidedly pessimistic.
The Daily Mail says the British delegates, who died with M. Poincare, learned that the French Goverment summarily rejects the. British plan, which. it is udable even to accept as discussion. The situation is grave and disturbing.

ÎN ZAM-BUK
Magical for all Skin Disaasas & Injuries.
HISTORY tells us how, two thousand years
ago, the fighting gladiators of Ancient Romè anointed their wounds, sores and Injuries with secret herbal oils and balms. These are reputed to have had magical healing powers.
Certain eminent scientists, who undertook a search to recover these lost secrets, had their attention gradually directed to the extraordinary medicinal properties of certain rare herbs. Scientifically treated, these were found to yield rich oils and essences of
• astonishing soothing, kcaling and disease dispelting poneLA.
Steps were next taken to bring these patent extracts to a high point of relinement and in such perfect combination as would be most elfective for modern use. The result was, that, after lengthy experiment and with the ald of many delicate scientific processes, that wonderful natural healing substance known as "Zam-Buk" was at last discovered.

Paris, Jan. 3.
Deep disappointment is expressed in French Press comment on the British reparations plan. Le Matin quotes a high personage as declaring that the plan will involve a revision of the Versailles Treaty. Le Matin refuses to believe that, the "almost painful opposition” dis- played yesterday in Anglo-French views will result in a rupture on all questions and concludes by expressing confidence, if an agreement is found impossible and France takes productive guarantees, that Mr. Bonar Law will not adopt a hostile attitude." The Echo de Paris says M. Poincare will to-day insist on the French proposal being taken as a basis of discussion. If he does not get his way, it is doubtful whether the conference will survive.
Le Journal says that the clarity and moderation of M. Poincar's exposition favcurably impressed the delegates, whom Mr. Eonar Law's plan bewildered. No French Parliament would approve if the British scheme: indeed. na French Government could propose its approval. The Petit Parisien, like Le Journal and all cther papers, is confident that Belgium and Italy will support France. The Homme Libre says the German proposals cannot be worse than the British and adds that Mr. Bonar Law's plan is such that a French personage regretted the absence of Mr. Lloyd George, but M. Poincare replied to him, "No. for Mr. Lloyd George would have tried to bring us bere without telling where we were going, while Mr. Bomar Law ha had the courage to frankly submit a plan, which completely misunderstands French opinion."
London. Jan, 3.
It is pointed out that the British scheme has been so arranged as to offer every inducement to Germany to redeem as soon as possible fifty milliards of binde, which sum might, by early loans and discounting in the market, he reduced to some twenty five mil Hards. The debt proposals would mean, roughly, remission of two third of the Allied debts to England. The morning papers, with one prominent exception, comment approvingly on Mr. Eonar Law's scheme. but the difficulty of harmonising the Franco-British plans
