THE ALLEGED SECRET TREATY.

London, Feb. 7. Reuter learns that Mr. Ramsay Macdonald learned of the alleged Lloyd George interview yesterday, half an hour after he had received a report from Paris with which he was most pleased because it showed how well things had gone since the Labour Government came into office. On inquiry Mr. Macdonald learned that the French Ambassador called at the Foreign Office on Jan. 8, and the Foreign Office carefully considered the hitherto secret documents for several days. As Lloyd George has not returned the documents, which were the Foreign Office's only copy, it is impossible say what they con- tained.

It is understood the incident is a great blow to M. Poincare, with whom the Labour Government has been getting on very well, and with whom, also, important arrangements had been made with regard to the Palatinate. Obriously M. Poincare might suppose the action was taken behind his back. Lord Crewe was instructed to call on M. Poincare this morning to explain the while situation.

Paris. Feb. 7.

Reuter.

The Paris Press is indignant about Mr. Lloyd George's state- ment, and dwell on the fact that the accusations were made just when Mr. Wilson died.

capable of

The Matin says: knew Mr. Lloyd George treating historical veracity with the utmost fantasy, but never thought he would go so far as to imagine a secret treaty which does n:t exist. merely in order to Batter the Labour Party,

The Petit Parisien says that Mr. Lloyd George's calumny by its very gravity excludes all probability.

The Gaulois says that once again Mr. Lloyd George has been taken in the very act of uttering incorrect statements.—Reuter.

NEW JAPANESE LOÀI

London Feb. T. -

Preliminary arrangements have been made for the issue in the near future in London and New York, under the auspices of in- fluential banking houses, of a large Japanese Governmen: loan to pro- vide for redemption of the £35,000,000 $67 bonds maturing in 1925, and to furnish a considerable balance of new money for earth- quake reconstruction purposes.

The newspapers point out that the Enger dated Japanese stocks at present stand at a price yielding about 6%, and a loan issued on the basis of about 6 will naturally be attractive to investors. Reuter.
