THE PREMIERS"

HAS IT CLEARED THE AIRT

(Renter's Service-}

London, March 3. - Great satisfaction is expressed in British official circles with M. Poincare's reply to Mr. Macdonald It is considered that the correspondence marks a very definita advance in Anglo-French relations and clears the air for an Anglo-French conference.

The Socialist paper. Populaire says M. Poincare's reply is a paltry defence of his policy, and heralds difficult negotiations in the near future. The Radical journal Quotidian.says M. Poincare's reply is courteous, but a definite refusal. The Communist organ Humanite calls M. Poincare's letter hypocritical The Left organ Geurre says Mr. Macdonald's is the letter of an honest man desirous of a settlement, whilst M. Poincare's is the letter of a pseudo- Machiavelli who loves quibbling.

FARLIER TELEGRAMS.

THE ANGLO-FRENCH GULF.

London, March 3.

Tha professions of gued intentions alone will not succeed in bridging the Anglo-French gulf is a fact that nobody endeavours to conceal in commenting on the evolution of "the new diplomacy.”

Several London newspapers mourn the absence of any essential change in M. Poincare's oft-repeated policy, and stress the continued fundamental, divergence in the peace policies of the two Premiers. namely sectional alliances versus universal agreement. The Liberal papers welcome M. Poincare's reference to the League of Nations as suggrating a new angle of vision. General satisfaction prevails that the correspondence is usefully proceeding from generalities to concrete issues, while unanimous praise is accorded Mr. Macdonald's efforts to create an improved atmosphere as the weightlest factor in ultimate settlement.-Rexter.
