(By Associated Press.) PARIS.—France will stand pat,on her reparations attitude. It was stated here Tuesday that the French reply j to Great Britain’s recent note, assert sthat Rrance re fuses to withdraw from the Ruhr, except as she is paid by Germany and rejects the plan of an Interna tional re-estimate of Germany’s ability to pay her debt. The reply was made public Wednesday morning and maintains that the occupation of the Ruhr is perfectly legal To offset the rather determined attitude shown in the rpJy it was stated that France would consider the easiest method of exacting payment from Germany when thi “Passive resistance” ceased and expressed a willingness to continue the recent discussions with Great Britain. It is possible that, adopting th6 tone of conciliatin advanced in his* CharievJlJc speed* P/dn/.rc has sugar-coated the demand until it FrlfindS Of Judge Say Bar may be discerned by none but the dipomatic But, behind whatever formula is offered for the solution of the rep arations mess, there will be the ad amantine resolve of France not to yield one jot from demands that Germany pay her enough to pay America and England, and also pay her a goodly margin for her self. Superficially, Poincare’s answer is contained in a 40-page docu ment, replying point'by point and in parallel columns to the Curzon note. It restates the complete his tory of France’s efforts ter get reparations from Germany, and, it is understood, discusses but brief ly the British claim that the occu pation of the Ruhr.is illegal under the treaty of Versailles. .
