M. Poincare's Statement of Policy.
Paris, January 19. M. Poincare in a statement of policy to the Sense and Chamber said. "We shall be very happy if the Anglo-French Pact, destined to consolidate peace, is shartly signed. We have no doubt that as it is to benefit both it will be concluded on a footing of perfect equality and will maintain intact treaty guarantees, At the same time we must confer with Italy and Britain with a view to endeavouring to prevent tesumption of Turco-Creek hostilities in the Esat in order, in accord with our Allies, to reap the advantages of the Angora Convention and finally to bring peace to the gates of Europe, enabling us more freely to carry out our mandate in Syria."

The former Prime Minister, M. Leygues, now president of the Parliamentary Committee for Foreign Affairs, in an interview with the Excelsior, stated that the Franco-British Alliance will be the last of the war's logical conclusions outside of which there can be no security in Europe. The situation cannot be depicted better than in Lord Derby's own terms who, speaking at Manchester on Satur day, said that M. Briand's retirement must not be construed as a proof that the French people disapprove of the Alliance. As a matter of fact the French are fully in favour of it. Many differences might have been averted, notably the submarines quibble-had there
