PETER PAN.

FURTHER CO-OPERATION DIFFICULT WITHOUT AN EXPLANATION.

LONDON, July 29. Reuter learns that the Government replying to France's Silesian note entirely disposes of the charge that Britain has been setting herself against France and thereby strengthening the attitude of Germany. The note calls attention to what is described as an extraordinary action on the part of France in endeavouring" to act independently of the Sejeme Council in insisting on the immediate despatch of reinforcements, which is not a possible basis on which to pursue future policy together. The note says that ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. no good purpose would be served by further discussion until Britain has a clear understanding of France's intentions. It is declared that the note is of a friendly character, pointing out that Britain is anxious to consider any means whereby she can meet the French, but it emphasised that no danger threatens French troops in Upper Silesia, hence reinforcements were not urgent.

Later.

The British note to France is conciliatory but vigorously worded. It expresses surprise not only at the apparent intention of France to depart from the definite understanding that France should not take tolated action as regards matters of common allied concern but also the unusual and apparently unfriendly tone of the French communique on Wednesday- The note concludes that in view of the perplexity raised by the tone of the French note Britain is bound to enquire for an explanation of French intentions, because until the matter is cleared up it is difficult to see on what basis allied co-operation can can contigne.
