REPARATIONS BILLA"

STRONG CRITICISM IN PARLIAMENT.'

LONDON, March 14. Criticisms in certain sections of the Press and other quarters, as regards the soundness of the Allied commercial sanctions, were echoed in the House of Commons debate on the reparations recovery bill. Labourites and Liberals especially condemned the measure on the ground that it would increase the cost of living in Britain and injure our export trade. More aver, the yield would be incommensurate with the dangers and difficulties entailed. Lloyd George replied that if Germany honoured the Allied receipts which would be given to the German sellers against half the purchase price of goods exported, the bill would work smoothly but in the event of her a penalty, excluding German goods from refusal the bill would operate as a Britain.

The British business view of the economic sanction against Germany 'is the theme of a special Times article which declares that the scheme of applying part of the purchase price of imports from Germany towards the discharge of her liabilities thrusts a stick into the complicated mechanismson. of commerce. Manufacturers, warehousemen, merchants, banks, accepting

houses, and bill brokers are eyeing it askance. They opine that the scheme at its worst may result in a total cessation of German imports, and at its best may so hamper imports that they will be appreciably reduced in vulume and raised in price,

THE HAPPY ENTENTE.

"FRENCH PRAISE FOR LLOYD GEORGE.

PARIS, March 12. The French premier, who arrived this evening from London, expressed his extreme satisfaction at the results of the Conference, also with the utmost cordiality of the reception he met with everywhere. M. Briand stated his absolute conviction that Fraper-British solidarity is more than ever necessary, a fact which is the keystone of his whole policy, and which Britain understands quite well too Upon leaving London he gave an inter- view to a representative of the French local Press, in which he laid stress on the atmosphere of mutual confidence which" permeated the Conference, owing, he said, to Lloyd George's prudence and moderation. Briand, con cluding, said: "I know no other statesman who possesses, sach keen political sense."
