A despatch from Paris saystâ€"The French Government will neglect no weapon, political, economic or military to compel the integral fulfilment of the Versailles Treaty by Germany, even though France stand alone in im- posing- upon a recalcitrant Germany those penalties prescribed in the terms of peace.
