FRANCE, GERMANY, AND TER ALLIES.
LONDON, April 10
The French reply to the British note affirms the unquestionable loyalty of its attitude. France constantly informed the Alfes of its policy. The French government always opposed the entry of supplementary German troops inte Ruhr, which was only permissible on condition of the military" occupation of Frankfurt and Darmstadt." France; podified: the Allies on | April 3 that Foch was studying unavoidable military measures. The reply points out that the sole thing at present in question is the violation of one of the most solemn clauses of the treaty. The German government itself recognised the necessity of obtaining beforehand formal authorization for a breach of Article 43- and the right of the French government to demand a territorial guarantee in exchange for the breach.
The French reply saks how the French government could have been satisfied with the German promise to withdraw the Reichswehr Immediately order was restored, seeing that the Allies had not received the satisfaction. stipulated for by the treaty, for reparation, war damages, murrender of “ criminals, delivery of coal, and disarmament of the army. It asks whether the British government had calculated the whole danger of these successive systematic violations, and asks when Britain thinks it ought to stop. In granting concessions, it declares that France is compelled to say." erough." But France asks nothing better than that it can say so with all the. Allies.
The French government is not less convinced than the British of the essential necessity of inaintaining allied unity for the enforcement of the German treaty. It considers this intimate concert of France" and "Britain also indispensable for equitably settling the vast problema now confronting the world in Russia, the Balkans, Asia Minor, and throughout the whole of Islam. The reply concludes by assuring Britain that the French govern ment for all these considerations is entirely disposed to make sure before acting of general assent in all interallied questions involved in the execu. tion of the treaty.
