The general believed that it would be

Several government officials, includ-

favorably on the policy, but as rule

practicability of the policy and consid-
cred it could wait until other questions,
of more immediate Importance had
been settled. Invariably the. Liberal
and Labor leaders have given 1T warm

Conservatives.
Recently French statesmen have
taken q serious attitude toward the
policy and Premier Clemenceau has di-
rected committee to study the ques-
ton.
1t is safe to say that in both Brit

greater progress in the last, few days
