Naturally, the Prime Minister's speech on reparation on December 14th over shadowed in importance all the rest. The House was exceedingly anxious to hear him, and as the Opposition leaders fully understood how difficult it was for him to speak about the recent meeting of the Allied Premiera in view of the fact that Steamebis ** the Conference was only postponed, they agreed among themselves upon a sort of united questionnaire, which was placed in the very judicious and capable hands of Silk and Valuables and Tes for Italy, France Sir John Simon. He therefore put and London (under arrangement) will be tran series of carefully-framed queations, shipped at Bomber into the Mail Steamer pro- approved by Mr. Asquith, Mr. Lloyd ceeding direct to Marvelling and London, George, and Mr. MacDonald, and Mr. Bonar Law answered them in a general, rather than in a categorical, fashion, but with such candour and frankness that he gave a very clear indication as to the lines of British policy.
What, then, it will be asked, in the British policy I first object is to reach a final settlement" as to the rela tionship between reparations and Allied war Indebtedness, and on this head Mr. Bonar Law made it perfectly plain that the British Government are not prepared simply to wipe out the debts fawing to us while wa go on paying our debts to America.

The Prime Minister vividly contrasted. the respective attitudes of Great Britain and France towards reparations. France bas for ever in her mind the, fear, of Germany (later on, in a maider speech, General Sir Robert Hutchison had some pertinent remarks to make on this theme), but the British Government looks at the problem solely from the point of view of what is "the beat method of getting what Germany should pay."

In the beginning of his speech he pub the French case as, rangly almost as a Frenchman himself would have pat it, and begged the House to bear it constantly in mind. While not himself able to accept the view that Germany had deliberately ruined the mark in order to make payment of reparations imposible for he doubted whether any statesmen would deliberately adopt a policy of national suicide-ho said the effect was that various German industrial groups had piled up enormous fortunes, which they had put out of the reach of the German, Government, who had never tried to atop the inflation of their currency.
