Washington, Nov, 10. In an in
terview to the American newspaper
correspondent who accompanied
him across the Atlantic' on the L
layette, Premier Kriand yesterday
exposed the French attirvde toward
the Pacific-disarmament conference.
M. Briand stated:
"First, France intends to ask for
nothing at this conference. It has no
intention of attempting to reopen the
question of the Anglo-Franco-Amer-ican
defensive alliance,
"Second, France is entirely capa
ble of safeguarding her own secur
ity and must insist that she do it
in her own way. Any interference
would amount to usurpation against
her sovereignty. -
"Third, 'Moral solidarity' among
the great powers convened here Is
necessary, and just as France must
interest herself in the affairs of the
Pacific, so the United States can
not disinterest herself wholly front
the affairs- of Europe..
To Ignore War Debts.
"Fourth, France has no intention
cf raising the question of war debts,';
which arc not on the agenda, lor
the corrcrencc and could only be
added by ' unanimous vote." -
It was evident from the premiers
statements" that any attempt 'bv the-
conference" to interfere with France's
defensive military organization would
be regarded as assailinsr the sov
ereign rights of that state. He dwelt
on the respect for sovereign cow
ers of ; all states that the United
Receipt of Tax
Money by State
Averts Crisis
Democratic Propaganda Is Ex
plodedRegistration of
Warrants Will Not Be
Necessary Now.
Lincoln, Nov. 10. (Special.) Re
ceipt of $60,000 , in tax money from
county treasurers at the office of D.
B. Crop.sey, state treasurer, and as
surance of the early receipt of many
thousands more, insures against reg
istering state, warrants and explodes,
another large quantity of democratic
political ammunition behind their
own lines. , , ' . ,
, Tw.i months ago democratic news
papers announced in black headlines
that Nebraska was bankrupt and the
issuance of state warrants was inevi
table. ,
Last week the state was obliged
to withhold payment of warrants in
order not to drain" the treasury to
the last cent ' The warrants with-
held amount to approximately!
?200,000, it was .stated at the treasur
er's office, which totals the cash !
money put into bonds and which !
could-not be used td help cut and
treef the emergency.
It was stated at Cropsey's office
todav that warrants being withheld
would be . payable probably next
week as there is every promise tnat
the winter tax money will begin
pouring in in the next few days.
Armistice Day Services

servance of Armistice 1 day. include
the assembing lof all ex-service men
inn . unitorm at the city hall, from

THE idea's ridiculous of course. BUT
hardly more so than the idea of making
replacements in a Continental Motor with
parts that never were intended to WORK in
a Red Seal product! The Continental Motors
Corporation has devoted many years of
research work to perfect each part. Only
genuine parts can be expected to function
properly with other Red Seal units.
If you want a continuance of Red Seal
performance specify genuine Continental
parts to your dealer and remind him that he
can get them here.

States has always championed, and
violations of which was threatened
by the league of nations, according
to administration criticitma of that
organization. .
' Although M,' llriand ' staled that
Franre would not ask that the finan
cial situation be added officially to,
the agenda of the conference, it Is,
nevertheless, expected that in unof
ficial conversations with the Ameri
can government, the French will
eek certain concessions in settle
ment of their war debt to 'the United
States,'
Fixation of the date at the' ex
change rate at which it was con
tracted, averaging 5 1-2 francs to
the dollar, instead of 13 1-2 francs
per dollar as exists today,' and case
ments in payment of interest is what
France, hopes to, obtain. In these
questions, she would have the solid
support of Britain, Italy, Belgium
and other small debtors to America,
all of whom borrowed at much more
advantageous rates to them tlmrTpre
vail now.
M. Briand confirmed, the report
that M. Louis Louchcur, minister of
the liberated regions, reputed the
richest man in France, and financial
wizard, will come to Washington im
mediately after he (M. Briand) re
turns to Paris.
, Replying to a question as to
whether Prance would ask for a de
fensive alliance with Britain and the
United States, M, Briand shook his
head. . '
"That is all in the past," he said.
"We have no intention of bringing
it up again here. We are quite ready
to safeguard our own security."
