CROIX STATION. Paris, May<oth.—lf Germany’s resist- ance in the Ruhr is prolonged into next winter France will ‘‘at once begin con- sidering means of applying greater pre- sure’’, said M. Poincare in concluding yesterday’s debate in the Chamber o De- puties. By a vote of 56 to 67 the Ciam- ber granted the June expenses of the occupation and voiced their confidence in the Government. M. Poincare said he was convinced Germany would be un- able to resist much longer. ‘'Besides’’, he added, '‘it is unwise to let Germany think we are in a hurry. The more we let her think that the longer will be her resistauce. Germany has got to come to a settlemert she has got to pav. To do that she must reform her finances and prepare a great international loan. She did not do it before the oeccupation and she will only do it on compulsion.
