FRENCH POLICY STATED.

Preference for Allied Unity,

(Reuter's Service.)

Paris, August 19. A more friendly tone was manifested by M. Poincare, in a spacch at the unvolling of a war memorial at Charleville. He declared that France would make every effort to bring her policy near that of all the Allies, and would always be ready to seek with them any alleviation that united action might bring to their sufferings. He said that nations, like individuals, realised the necessity for uniting in a great moral crises, botter than the uneasiness of convalescence, and although union had now saved the lives of the Allies, it was still not without use. He concluded by denying that the Ruhr was responsible for unemployment in Britain, which had improved.since last year. He deprecated indulging in controversies like the legality of the occupation, and said he preferred to seek a practical solution of the problema in which all were interested.

FRANCE AND BRITAIN.

Paris, Aug. 18. M. Poincare intends to invert the original order of reply by making a general exposition of French policy to precede, not follow, the detailed analysis of the British Note. Thus the exposition will prepare the way for subsequent discussion, and the points, whereon it is hoped an agreement may be reached, will be brought out before objections to the British arguraents are raised, thus making clear France's goodwill and friendliness.

Melbourne, Aug. 18,

In view of a complaint from 'seamen of German steamers at present in Australian waters that their wages are only 61⁄2 pence per month in English money in consequence of the collapse of the mark, the Australian Scamente Union is calling on the German line to remove such "conditions of slavery," threatening to tie up every German vessel visiting Australia unless a prompt and satisfactory reply is forthcoming.
