From the British viewpoint the importance of the debt offer lies In the modification of the policy embodied in the famous Balfour momorandum, which necessitated payment of at least twenty million annually from France in order to make up, with receipts from other sources, the amount Britain de paying to America, but M. Caillauxdent, in which a piquet was fired is not yet assured of what is universally regarded as a bargain for France, since the stipulation that Britain will receive terms equal to those granted by America to Franco means that the last word will probably be spoken by Washington. It is noteworthy that the payment of twelve and a half millions represents two per cent..of the French debt, contrasted" to three and a half which Amorico had hitherto exacted from her debtors.

A Washington message states that political observers are" of the opinion that the British and French negotiations are likely to seriously complicate the forthcoming negotiation with France and Italy.. Oficials are lath to discuss the latest development, but evidently expect France to bring pressure on the United States for terms similar to those granted by Britain, while it may be stated on official authority that France will be told she owes to America more than she does to Britain and annual payments must be greater-Reuter.

Four shots were fired from the British side of the border but nothing further happened.

Paris, August 27,

The slow reconstitution of Anglo-French financial solidarity is a very cheerful thing is what Paris newspapers have to say in regard to the outcome of the London conversations. Some dwell on the heaviness of the burden imposed on France, pointing out that if France" pays, as she will, her British and American creditors, she will be unable to pay French creditors and "the hundred milliard francs we advanced to reconstruct the devastated regions is entirely lest," re- marks Eclair.

IMMIGRATION EXAMINATION PROBLEM.
