'WHAT WE HAVE WE'LL HOLD."

(Reuter's Service to the Ching Mail.)

PARIS, September 15. -

M. Poincaré in a speech at Dun-sur-Meuse sald some persons now regarded the decisions at Ver gallies no a dead letter and bigd France for in- sisting on their execution. Te could be no security in international relations if treaties col cluded could be disowned. The Treaty of Versailles entrusted the task of fixing the German debt and the conditions of its payment to the Reparations Commission whose powers Germany expressly re cognised. If there was an idea of divesting the Commission of this task it was undoubtedly because the commission was considered little favourablo to the new concessions which France would not coun- tenance as contrary to the promises made to France 'we hold guarantees and we shall keep them until we have received satisfaction.

BRITAIN BEATS AMERICA.
