HAVAS REVIEW.

A Havas message states: Replying yesterday in the Chamber of Deputies, to cruicism by M. Barthou, the former Premier lading to the Lloyd George policy in the application of the Treaty of Tersailles, M. Millerand remarked that this speech should be heard on the other adde of channel. "France intends defending her rights and pests whatever divergence, there may be, but she will not bave to appeal in vain to the loyalty of her Allies. If to morrow our common adversaries were to endeavour to exploit our pretended differences we would reply together that they were mistaken. Our alliance was not to be severed M. Barthou give adhesion to these words.

M. Barthou's speech in the Chamber on Thursday attacking the British Government has aroused much criticisar from the Freich press. The Journal des Debats, after admitting that British policy has bccasionally been contradictory, says M. Barthou denounced these contradictions with bitterness of language and passion which one would not have expected from a statesman. The Temps, in a leading article entreats the British public not to imagine that the French Chamber is in any way hostile to England. Occasional divergences of opinion, it saya day

The Treaty gave France, by way of guarantee, the right to occupy the left bank of the Rhine in order to ensure that Germany would respect her engagements. The Treaty gave the Allie the right to take measures financial, economic and of repression. As the Treaty is constituted our sole protection it is our imperative duty not to tolerate any weakening of it. The French Government proposes to say to the German Government, France is not a land of hatred and yengeance. She demands only justice, but justice she demanda imperatively. You say that in order to keep your engagements you must be able to live and work. The French Government does not exclude the possibility of economic collaboration, but it is for the German Government to give proof of its good faith by fulfilling its obligations.

He said the statement that, the United States navy estimates exceed Britain's by £1,000,000 did not represent a fair comparis son, for at the current rate of exchange the United States estimates were approximately £28,000,000 more than Britain'e. Moreover if £23,000,000 after war expenses in the British estimates were subtracted the United States estimates would be £44,000,000 in excess of the British As regards personnel figures Britain's are 136,000, falling-to 131,000 by the end of the year, including all ranks and ratings of officers, men and inarines, whereas the United States figure of 121,000 was the total of enlisted men only and excluded officers and marines therefore the comparative total was 147,000.
