The official communique issued at the close of the Anglo- French talka to-day stated that the visit of Lord Halifax, being private and unofficial, it was not expected to lead to any im- the helped to remove medinte results, although his visit had causes of international misunderstanding and was well enlculat ed to improve the atmosphere.

The Anglo-French conversations had dealt with the pro- blems of Europe as a whole, and on this important subject the British and French Ministers found fresh evidence of a com- munity of attitude and outlook. Regarding the German colonial claims it was recognised that this question should not be con- sidered in isolation, but would involve a number of other coun- tries.

London, Nov. 30. The communique issued at the close of the Anglo-French talks should put an end to any suggestions that there has been any division between Bri- tain and France, states Reuter's diplomalle correspondent.

It is felt in British quarters that there has never been a more clearly marked harmony of views between the two countries, but. It is pointed out, this does not imply the forma tion of a united front against any Power.

It is pointed out that the situation, which was tending to crys- talles, had now become less stily, and consequently was creating new opportunities,
