! BRITAIN AND FRANCE
-
' NOW IN PERFECT AGREEMENT"
CRAVE QUESTIONS STILL
AHEAD.
LONDON, Tuesday.-In the French
Chr-mber of Deputies the Premier, M.
Millerand, made a statement regard
ing tho Franco-British situation. He
ni-etcd articles 42 and 44 of the Treaty,
and said that the Allies attached great
importance to theso two articles for
the security of Franco. fRb recalled
the fact that Germany, through tha
military circles responsible for the
coup d'etat, Ind requested the deroga
tion of the Peace Treaty, despite the
fact that Germany had not executed
any essentials of the Treaty. There
fore he telegraphed to London on
March 10 expressing his opinion that
tho Allies would commit a grave and
perhaps an irreparable mistake if they
did Mt forearm themselves against a
very evident danger. Ho firmly ap
posed the entry of the Gormans into
tho P.uhr district, as in the Govern
ment's view France was in no'session
of certain aunrantees under the Treaty
which could not be viobted.
.M. Millerand eloquently paid a trib
ute to Belgium's sympathetic action ns
increasing the affection'and admiration
of France. He dismissed tho cuestión
of Anglo-French views as exnrcssed in
the British Cabinet. London and
Paris wero both agreed that if there
had been a divergenco of opinion, re
specting; the best means of assuring the
execution of the Treaty, both recognised
now more th.-n ever the necessity for
maintaining an intimate and cordial
nareoment for the settlement of the
gravo questions still confronting them
in Germany and throughout the world.
