The Times says the frank declarations are definite advantage as clearing the air, but it must be admitted that the differences be tween the British and French viewpoints are still very great. Neverthe less it is earnestly hoped the plain speaking will point the way to 2 settlement,

The Daily Telegraph declares the Note leaves things precisely as they were and indicates no approximation of vermon ground whereon Britain and France can hope to renew the deeply desired united action.

already.

The Daily Chronicle conelades that the Note he ended all hopes of common action, as it does not contain a basis for discussion. It hopes Britain will not be drawn into an endless controversy. The worst result would be that we could neither settle quickly nor part.

The Daily Mail alone takes a favourable view and declares the Note gives. Britain a great opportunity to reach a close understand- ing, whereby the mischief of the past three years can be undone, and the Entente restored.

The Daily Express profoundly reprets that the French have met the British proposals in spirit of inflexible obda:ary. M. Poincare asks for everything and gives nothing. The British Government must now turn its back on Europe and leave the Europeans to stew in their own juice. Britain's future resides in her Dominions and Colonies.
