Atlanta, Ca., Jan. 22. A new spirit
of United Americanism, holding it-
self above sectional and partisan di
visions and making secure the in
dustries of the whole nation alike
was bespoken by Tresident-elect
5 larding last night, in a message to
le people of Jhe south.
The message, written at the re
nnet nf riart HnwplL editor of the
Atlanta constitution, and democratic
national committeeman of Georgia,
was made public on the arrival of
the train which isnaking the president-elect
to Florida. It follows:
"Of course I have no message to
the people of the $outh that I would
not gladly utter to all the United
States. ""'Perhaps the south would be
interested to know, however, of one
ambition which I 'cherish. I want
to be instrumental ill. establishing
trmt completeoncord of union which
I hold tevbe essential to the Ameri-
. can fulfillment. I realize how the
political solidarity, of the south fol
lowed the unfortunate days of the
' civil war. I know how that solidarity
has been encouraged, and I think I
understand the desire to break it on
the other hartds.

Paris, Jan. 22. Aristidc Briand,
France's new "premier, and members,
of his' ministry were given a record
vote of confidence by the chamber
of deputies tonight. . By a vote of
475 to 68.' the deputies W.,. their
stamp of approval -n the policies
of M. Briand, who in a two-hour
speech, characterized by its vigor
fciul oratory, answered interpellations
and promised to make the collection
of reparations from Germany ( the
.sanding principle of his administra
tion. ;
The premier avoided a statement
of any definite plan for carrying ou(
the treaty and the restoration of
France to its former economic posi
tion, Sijit promised to devote all his
tiinc'aiid eucrgy to this purpose. His
remarks frequently were interrupted
by applause in which, for the most
pant, the members of the right did
not join.
Asks Full Confidence.
' At the outset of his speech, M.
Briand told the chamber that it must
give the new government a clean
cut vote of confidence "at this crit
ical tiipc when the policies of France
probaWly would be pledged for the
next tlvo years. ' 1
The size of the vote, which sur
prised many deputies, is regarded as
not only an expression of confidence
in the government, but as manifesta
tion of national unity in the face of
the forthcoming meeting of the allies.
M. Briand asserted the French
people Jiad tome to the point wTicre
they wanted realities. and not words.
''We have had formulas of truth
for two years, but no indemnities,"
lie declared. "It would be the great
est travesty of justice if the attack
ers of civilization were to'tiC let otf
without payment for their crimes."
Denial was made by the premier
of the charge that France had not
stated the extent of her claims, so
that she might "extort brutal pay
ment from Germany by foYcc."
Statement Untrue.
"Such a statement is untrue, lie
added, "and France today more than
at any other time is entitled to the
confidence of the rest of the Nworld.
She fought, suffered, was buriied.
pillaged and drenched iu blood, and
yet she accepts, in spite of her lack
of strength, the many impossibilities
imposed on her."
Referring to the. policy toward
Germany, Premier Briand said the
government would exhaust all re
sources before it used force and then
only in accord witli her allies against
the former etfcmy. He believed t lie al
lies should inimediatclyvf stablish the
financial possibilities of Germany and
then set up a forfeit which would
bind the allies in the future
Although the German treasury is
empty, M. Briand declared that many
private persons in Germany had en
riched thenuclves and that contact
must be established between these
and the German government to per
mit the latter to pay indemnity.
After dealing with France's inter
nal questions, he said he would sup
port the project for resumption of
relations with the Vatican.
