remain in French boccupation until the WONG SIU»WOON

Versailles Treaty had been fulfilled-that' is for ever, since the skilful handling of reparations would preclude the possibility of ita fulfilment. That school, he asserts, ia as powerful as ever and in one respect more powerful," for in 1919 there was a statesman M. Clemenceau] (at the head of affairs who had the strength as well as the sagacity to resist their ill-judged claims." The pace for guarantee of France, was "designed to strengthen the banda of M. Clemenceau against the aggressive party which was then and still is anxious to commit France to the colossal error of annexing territory which has always been purely German." Great Britain had been ready at any time during the last three yours up to a few months ago to take up the burden of the pact, with or without the United States of America. ነነ

-At Cannes a written offer to that effect was made by My, Lloyd George on behalf of the British Government to M. Briand, then Prime Minister of France. M. Briand was prepared to welcome the offor, and it was agreed to summon a Conference At Genoa. At Cannes the negotiations were, he says, "proceeding. hopefully, and another week might have produced results which would have pacified the turäult of suspicious nationa and Vinaugurated the promise of fraternity. But, alas!" he exclaims, "Satan" "ig" "rdt done with Europe. A Ministerin crisis in France brought our hopes tumbling to the ground. The Con ference was broken up on the threshold of fulfimeat." The offer made to France was rejected with dischin. - ""The pact les for the moment in the waste paper basket, But we never flung it there."

Accepted the 'pact. It is: "If France to Box V.W., wo Daily Press Office. accepts Britain's guarantee of defence of ber frontier every excuse for annexing the left bank of the Rhine disappears." He adds:

"If this is the explanation, if French Ministers have made up their minds that under no conditions will they, even at the end of the period of occupa tion, withdraw from the Rhine, then a new chapter opens in the history of the world with a climax of horror such as mankind has never yet witnessad."

M. Poincaré his made the following statement in reply to Mr. Lloyd George's criticisms of French policy:- ...'

Mr. Lloyd George's argument will bo a great surprise to the French people. His conclusions would, perhaps, have been right if he had started from the right peint But he starts from a point- which is so far from the true position that one wonders how a politician of such ex- perience can have fallon so strangely into ermr. Ile claima that there is an important party .in France

whose ambition it is to annex the left bank af the Rhine. This party has never existed, except in the imagination of Mr. Lloyd George. There has never been in France a Government, or a Minister, 'or even a Senator, or a Deputy who has put fur ward such a foolish design or who has wanted to submit German people to French domination. It is an idea which has never entered the head of any person who has played the slightest political Tule among us, and if Mr. Lloyd George really believes that there is in France a party whose programme is the annexation

The late Prime Minister tells us that if, in 1919, he offered M. Clemenceau the British Pact of Guarantee, it was done in order to help the French Prime Minister to struggle against the Chauvinism of his compatriots. This explanation of the Pact of Guarantee, ideas with a view to preventing the pact such as it is conceived by Mr. Lloyd from being a mystification and a snare George, does not lack piquancy, and I am instead of a guarantee. But Mr. Lloyd sure that it does not correspond in any George then gave us to understand that way to M. Clemenceau's idea.
