MADE KHARTUM, August 26, MPOINCARE'S CONTRIBUTION.

We parties of the mutinous Railway M. Poincaré's contribution to the Senate dis- Banation, were being evacuated, they attempted to cussion regarding the London Reparations' Agree-create andincontra ukamour, the natives. The ment, was largely devoted to the defence of his latter, however, did not temporid previous policy. He declared France had accepted the Dawes scheme because it conduced to the re-establishment of the inter-allied entonte and was more advantageous than the Bonar Law scheme. He admitted the Dawes' scheme allows for an increase of the German debt, leaves the Reparations Commission free to establish defaults and commercialises the German'. Debt, but he objected to the abandonment of pledges before promises had been carried out.

SPOKE FOR TWO HOURS.

M. Poincaré spoke for two hours before open- ing fire on M. Herriot's work in London. Then he bitterly denounced the military evacuation of the 7 Ruhr which ought not to be effected until the Dawes' bonds were placed on the market. He declared another disadvantage of the evacuation was the reaction on inter-allled debta. He explain- e'd that his idea was to exchange certain annuities and the Ruhr pledge for abatement of inter-alled

'debts.

As regards the question of security, the former Premier said if France had the Spithead Fleet in the Ruhr, she would be much easier in mind. But, ae things were, it was impossible to admit the evacuation of Cologne next Jannary concluded the structure built in London. It rested on shiftings and German good faith.

PREMIER INTERRUPTED.

||

When M. Herriot rose to reply to M. Poincaré, the latter constantly interrupted. The proceedings developed into a keen, contentious verbal duel between the protagonists of two policies. The Premier concluded that grave problems remained to be settled. He did not make any rash promises. He asked the House to choose between isolated setion and inter-allied co-operation, a motion which was carried. He expressed confidence that Gov. ernment would pursue the execution of the Loudon Agreement and obtain a necessary guarantee of security and satisfactory settlement of inter- allied debts.
