The French press is friendly towards Britain caring to Mr. Bonar Law's vincerity and candoar edag the French to realise the British standpoint.

FRANCE'S ULTIMATE. OBJECT," According to the Observer France's ultimate object is a buge Franco-German economic combination under French supremacy. Stinoes and other German la da trial'sts have suggested this scheme believing it will be the shortest way to restore German supremacy but sullen resistance by the German people may restiltan the collapse of Germany in the spring rendering Udited States intervention inevitable. There are idEuenos in France working against précipitate action. The Radical Labour and Socialist parties are organising meetings to- protest against a provocative policy. The danger of the situation is French sensitiveness in regard to national dignity. Le Journal. says: "The whole world is awaiting the French forward move. What a roar of laughter there will be if the move is only a hesitating gesture." Commenting on the obstreperona atitude of the Turks at Lausanne which it considera ovidence of a French attempt to isolate Britain in the Near Esat the Observer says that if France persists in this policy Britain will be free to make her own settlemants with Ruseis and Turkey.

BUSINESS NOTIONS

A pessimistic view of the fitostion in strope is taken by Nitti e latest book *The decidense of Earope" wherein he contends that the Treaty of Versailles is the obial cause of Europe's troubles. He severely criticises the French policy of extreme nationalism which he says. is ruining Europe which is becoming larger than the Balkani with 73 states, all impoverished, compared with 57 in 1914. He concludes that the United States is bound eventually to intervene.
