BRITAIN'S WARNING

Kaunas, Nov. 17.

The threatened dispute between Germany and Lithuanin is expect- ed to be averted by the decision of the Governor of Memel to charge Herr Baldaszas, the lender of the United German party, to form the new Directory.

Although there were only fre Lithuanian deputies elected to the new Diet against 24 members of the United German party, the Governor first invited a Lithuanian deputy to become President of the Directory.

This was strongly opposed by the United German Party, who considered one of their members should have the position of President.

"Our problem is to keep the world on a metallic monetary base, due to there being managed currencies | elsewhere, which ruins our foreign commerce," he argued.

He declared that the reciporeal | trade agreements which were be ing negotiated now, wère - necpa- sary becouse a rigid tariff barrier was no protection against the de- preciated currencies of nations.United Press.
