THE BRITISH NOTE.

London, Aug. 19.. General recognition that the White Paper on Reparation and the Ruhr will rank as one of the most memorable State documents of modern times has led the newspapers to devote columns of space to reproduction of the contents. The latest British Note however, the central object of attention and there is every reason to conclude from the press comments that the Government's aim in deciding on publication to rally opinion to its way of thinking has been fully EAST RIVER FIGHTING. achieved. Much satisfaction is manifested that the British Govern- ment has spoken its mind clearly, forcibly and without reserve after a display of remarkable patience and continual effort to re-establish casentially pro- united Allied action. The Note is described as British, this being an allusion to the recent exhortation of Premier Baldwin, who deprecated the idea that the people were being either pro-French or pro-German in viewing current European problems,

The Daily Telegraph believes that public opinion here and in the Dominions will emphatically endorse the Note.

The Daily Herald thinks that M. Poincare will perhaps admit the reasonableness of Mr. Baldwin's views more quickly when he knows that the Premier herein has the nation behind him.

The Morning Post adopts a sober tone, being apparently un- desirous to embarrass the Conservative Premier. Although it dis- cerns unexpensive bias in favour of Germany in the Note, it is con- cerned over probable French irritation at the contents.

The Daily Mail alone maintains a strong Francophile front. It attacks the Government hip and thigh and accuses it of being out bad and of touch with national opinion. It epithetizes the Note as stupid.

Paris; "Aug. 13. French newspapers opine that the British Note is lacking in logic and justice, and that it is unlikely to promote a reparations solution.

The Echo de Paris says the Note is a new policy, and that the British Government has abandoned the path wherein she has walked for the past twenty years. It appeals to international opinion and declares that France will not change her attitude" in the face of this crisis.

The Matin believes the Note is a marvel of confusion and con- tradiction, and shows in a degree the hitherto unsuspected state of moral disintegration into which the British leaders have fallen. No French Government will accept the judgment of any tribunal what- soever, it says.

The Figaro says that our friends are sufficiently aware of the French view point, which is unchanged, to: guess the nature of the French reply.
