I have it on good authority that, as a matter of fact, a British Note bad been drafted in which French ife attention of the Government was drawn to the fact that the President of the Re- paration Commission could not be allowed to discuss in the columns

of the Press the very subject he was called upon to settle sa an official of the Commission. That Note was shown to H. Millerand

Hythe by Lord Curzon, and was not officially forwarded to the French Government, as M. Millerand intervened with a desire to spare the feelings of the former President of the Republic. The [very first thing M. Millerand did on bis return was to send for M. Poincare, to whom he represented in a most friendly manner that be could not very well ignore on that point the very natural objection raised by the British Government. M. Poincare answered that he did not want to give up bis freedom of writing, sod that be preferred resigning his position as President of the Reparation Commission.

It is rather un- fortunate that the French public va sadrzi allowed to Bellard that the only reason of his re- signation was that he more OF less disapproved of the policy followed by M, Millerand.
