1 Allies to Force
Germany to Pay,
Speaker Says
Principles Which Held Armies
Together in War Will
Unite Nations in Demand
For Reparation.
The same principles which held
the allied armies together in war
must hold the peoples of the allied
nations together in demanding a just
reparation for an unjust war. ac
cording to Maj. Zenovi Pechoff.
who lectured before the members of
the Concord club at the Rome hotel
at noon yesterday. He said:
"For months the Germans have
speculated as to whether America
would stand behind France and her
allies in their peace demands. The
German papers were firm in their
convictions that the allies would not
be as one and that their opinions
would be divided when reparations
were demanded of Germany.
"Germany has taken advantage of
many of our little differences and
has delayed in fulfilling the de
mands made at the signing of the
armistice.
"Itr this, Germany lias failed. In
spite of the differences that may ov
ist among the allies now, they will
stand firmly . behind the demands
they made of Germany when the
armistice was signed."
Major Pechpff described the mil
lions of acres of farm lands, the
mills, mines and homes destroyed
by the German invaders and con
tinued: "The French won the battle of the
Marne twice. Once against an
armed foe and again when its dis
charged soldiers returned to this
devastated territory and won it back
to fertility again.
"Even though the peace terms
have not been met, France has not
been waiting idly for anv repara
tion which must come from Gerr
many. Its men and women have
been reclaiming the devastated ter
ritories and gradually its commer
cial and industrial centers are get
ting back to a semblance of its pre
war activities."
Major Pechoff has spoken in 28
cities of the United States in the
last three months for the American
Committee of Devastated France.
