EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

"

At the headquarters of the Seamen's and Firemen's Union it was sald to-day that all the ships effected by the trouble at the London Docks sulled and no mon left their ships. An official of the Tilbury branch said "our fellows are good men and are acting very decently, There is nothing Bolshevik about them."-Reuter.

Molbourne, Aug. 24.

Coloured crews on four British steamers, principally Lasers, refused to attend the strike meeting-Reuter.

THE FRENCH DEBT.

London, Aug. 24,

M. Caillaux and Mr. Churchill het at the Treasury at noon to. discuss the payment of Frence's debt to Britain, amounting to £623,000,000. The contrast between British and French viewpoints is illustrated by the respective press comments to-day. The British newspapers emphasise that Britain expects to receive payments equial to those paid to America.

Echo De Paris says the agreement is impossible unless it is admitted that France is unable to assume a burden beyond her strength.

Gaviota says that statistics prove that the French are indirectly heavier taxed than the British; moreover the British must not consider the question from purely a fiscal Viewpoint.

L'Ere Nouvelle says the success of M. Cailloux' mission depends on whether he meets a gentleman or a shopkeeper. Referring to the situation in China and India L'Ere Nouvelle' says this is not the time to discuss bills but to close the ranks hi the face..of a threatening world conflagration.

La Matin denies that' M. Caillaux is disposed to offer £15,000,000 annually. It declares that the last offer of French experts was the maximum of £10,000,000. "The negotiations were adjourned because this was declined.-Renter.
