BRITAIN TAKING ACTION.

ANSWERING GERMAN SUGGESTIONS.

Fatile Talk.

Mr. Baldwin referred to the sous effect on British trade and the continue unemploynient which had involved the expenditure of £400,000,000 since the armistica. The exchange of friendly con versations did not appear to lent in all-cases to Fapbilvo pesuits, and it was becoming evident that the attitude the principal parties concerned must be more clearly defined.

The Government, so far from desiring to deprive France and Belgium of their legal claims, We were wished to assist their realisation. hopeful of obtaining the concurrence of less than of Italy. France and Belgium no We had every reason to believe the views of the Italian Government were in substantial agreement

In the House of Commons, the Premier, Mr. Stanley Baldwin, made his eagerly awaited state ment. He announced that the Government was willing to assume the responsibility of preparing a draft reply to the German note, the suggestions in which, whether they were adequate, or not, should not be ignored. The Government had in- formed the French, Belgian and Italian Govern-with our own. ments accordingly.

Exploring Every Avenus.

Referring to the German note, Mr. Baldwin said we were unable to agree that correspondence of this nature should be wholly one-sided or proposals Mr. Baldwin said they would submit the reply which might he found to contain the germs of with the least possible delay to the Allies for their possible settlement should be treated with indiffer consideration and remarks, and he indulged thence. We hold that they should be examined and explored in order to discover whether it would be premature to discuss them at this stage. We did not believe that in principle we were widely separated, Ifit all, from the Allies. Divergence of method should not prove incapable of resolution. So far mited action was possible we should continue to parqué ft.

hope that they would be able to arrive at agree ment regarding the terms. The Government confidently invited the sympathetic consider ation of the whole of the Allies and all the inter- asted States to the pro- posals which had no other aim than the pacification of Europe and the recovery of an exhausted world.

Mr. Baldwin strongly emphasised the com mualty of thought and STANLEY BALDWIN. action which bound Britain in the present emergency to the Allies and made an especially sympathetic allusion to France. The British Government, he said, was moved as were the Governments of France and the other Allies by the single desire that the goodwill be tween the nations who had endured together should

be maintained and each should obtain her due.

Worst Comes True.

LONDON, July 12,

In the House Lords, Lord Curzon's statement was precisely similar to Mr. Baldwin's. It was punctuated by a considerable amount of applause.

Lord Grey expressed approval of the policy disclosed. Ho. said he was gratified at its very friendly tone towards the Allies and especially France, but he could not conceal from himself the fact that it was most gravo in substance. He em- phasised that the recovery of Europe was impossible without Anglo-French co-operation.

WHEN THEY STRIKE.

AMERICA'S WAY.

CHICAGO, July 12

Mr. Baldwin emphasised that British anticipa- tions regarding the consequences of the Ruhr occupation had been largely realised. Germany' herself appeared to be moving fast towards econo- mic chaos, the recovery of the world was in danger and the peace for which so many sacrifices had been made was at stake. Indefinite occupation by one country of the territory of another in time of peace was a phenomenon rare and regrettable ladtself to pongy fajuiction obtained by the United States which honourable end should be put as soon as possible Pence would not finally be obtained and recovery eisured until a solution had been found of reparations, the settlement of i ster-Allied debts; and the security óf á pacified Europe.

Mr. Baldwin, referring to the Allies' common. desire for settleme it and pacification without further or urico vable delay, said the whispers of interested artis con d not be allowed on either side of the Gaviael or if any part of Europe to. deflect us from that duty by any reservations or carefully fostered at der tidligs.
