ADDRESSING1 IRE PARLIAMENT
Premier Clemenceau of France, Assures Delegation
Of Radical Socialists That Allies Have Deter
mined That Germany Must Pay
PARIS April 14.—Premier Clemeneeau assured a delegation
of radical socialists waiting upon him on Sunday, that a few’
Pm!'-' previous to their visit, the Allies had definitely determin
ed that reparation is to be made by Germany and that the deci
sion was satisfactory to France.
The Supreme Council has finally decided that France shall
work the coal mines of the Saar Valley in perpetuity, while
Germany shall retain a political sovereignty. France will have
economic control of the mineral resources in that section for a
limited time, supposedly based on a time allowance for the
settlement of indemnity.
The Supreme Council held an important meeting Sunday eve
ning because of Premier Lloyd George’s departure today for
England. He returns to London to address the British Par
liament.

troops, numbering about 50,000 will begin tomorrow by train

peace terms simulate that Germany must issue to the Allie

President Wants Approval Of Congress
President Wilson, for the present at least, is inclined t
ma'-p no move toward committing America to accept the prof
fered mandate for Armenia, before formally presenting the mat
ter before Congress, it is stated authoritatively today. Congrea
would have to sanction such action, of course, before it could b
undertaken.
Both England and France are eager for the United States t
participate actively in the administration of Asia Minor terri
