1t IS an indisputable fact that in the
fall of 1911 the government had every
thing ready to send a large body Of
troops into Belgium to meet German
attack on France through that country
had it come to war over the Agadir
incident, and when Germany had made
sure of this she suddenly backed down,
not feeling strong enough to fight
France and England at the same time,
even il Russia were not to be dreaded
at that time.
Apparently the relations between
this county and France have remained
unchanged since that time, but Mr..
Asquith has nevertheless said that in
no case would English troops be sent
out Of the country to help France. SO
under the surface q change must never
thcless have taken place.
