French Comment.
* *
Paris, Apr. 18.. The Tempy soundly trounces Mr. Snowden for his repudiation of Great Britain's word. "We might,” states the paper in its: loading article, despito Mr. Snow- den's insults—the base dunagogie and revolutionary character of which agrees too well with the spollatory methods of Russian - Bolshevism for serious notice, to be taken of it--but what is grave Is that the speaker should have declared in the House of Commons that his party, had never subscrib ed to the Balfour Note, a Note- which constitutes an infamy' in bla eyes, and that he and his friends consider themselves free to repudiate it.".
The Temps also comments caustically on Mr. Ramsay Mac- Donald's position, saying: "IL 18 strango: that the Labour Leader, who so loudly voleed his sympa- thies for France when he was re- colved on a recent occasion. In Paris, should not have found fit- ting terms in which to reprove the insults addressed by Mr. Snowden to our country.
