While awaiting the British decision further attempts are being unde here to define the French view.

only the British claims which can be reduced.
Oir the other hand, I gathered that the French would be prepared to accept as satisfactory a British intimation to Berlin that, if Germany wishes her propositions to be taken into considera on she must take heed to the French and Belgian preliminary demand. That is to say, the difficulty of Great Britain's taking upon herself the responsibility of repeating the demand on her own behalf is realized, but it is nevertheless felt that Great Britain could quite properly point out to Germany the need of conciliating
It must be confessed that there is a the French. So far as one can ascertain French official sentiment, which is ex somewhat cynical side to this reasoning, pressed with a good deal of reserve the since it amounts to this: That France Quai d'Orsay endeavouring to be non-will surrender nothing, but Great Britain committal the French are trying to put must surrender whatever is necessary; he onths of the joint reply on the Allies that France stands to lose nothing by the and are suggesting that for them it is a prolongation of the Bahr occupation, but only Great Britain; and that therefore matter of some indifference whether in
the Ruhr occupation is in some sense a joint reply or no reply at all is sent.
The French objection to a premature meas of pressure on Great Britain as conference is that it would create all well as upon Germany, kinds of misunderstandings and would tead to blur the very precise points concerning, the evacuation of the Rubr and the essation of resistance that they have made. They insist that they re quire the direct surrender of Germany. It is urged that this policy, is not one of our-propre. It is not national pres tige which is involved; it is the fate of.

The French contention is, then, that everything depends upon the sacrifices. which Great Britain is prepared to make. It is apparently only Great Britain who, by giving up her credits, can lighten tho burden of Germany. All Inter-Allied negotiations on the subject of reparations. must turn almost entirely upon the dis position of Great Britain to abandon her rights on the Allies and upon Germany,
It is realized that this is not a cheer- ful or encouraging presentation of the case, and some pains are therefore taken to point out that it is not the fault of the French that Great Britain is the in evitable.victim. The French would havo wished to maintain the financial solidár- ity, of the Allies; but past policy resulted in the maintenance of these debts, and it is to the liquidation of this past policy that Mr. Baldwin must now apply him self. Great Britain has the greatest in- forest in bringing German resistance to an end before negotiating about the general problem of reparations and debts, because the more the German re- sources na depleted the Jess Germany is ultimately able to pay, and the greater will be the British sacrifice, because it is (Continued on next voltims.).
