LONDON, April ANDRE Cheradame
sends the following letter to the Times:
IT was one of the first Frenohmen to
recommend for my fellow countrymen a
cordial and trustful rapproachment
with Great Britain at q moment when
such policy was not devoid Of difficulty.
l spent twenty years before the war
studying the Pan-German danger. As q
faithful friend Of Great Britain. took
every opportunity when In England to
warn my British friends In audiences
which addressed of the approaching
danger, Just as had warned my own
countrymen. The facts have unfortu-
nately borne out what I foresaw. both
before the war and during the war.
"On the strength Of these antecedents
and in view Of the terrible gravity of the
present circumstances ask your permits
sion to address British public opinion in
order to do without hinchins what I
feel is my conscientious duty. wish
to state on my own responsibility that
the policy pursued by Mr.. Lloyd George
at the Peace Conference 10 tending to in
voive both France and Great Britain in
danger.
Reason for Danger.
Lot mo give my reason. Dansis and
the region about Danzig arc absolutely
necessary for tho creation of an inde-
pendent Poland. without an indepen-
dent Poland, FREQ Bohemia, q free Ru-
mania and q free Jugo-Slavia are IN
conceivable. without these four States
solidly established Germany will once
moro dominate Central Europe. the
Balkans and Turkey. Moreover. unless
Poland be rapidly succored by way OF
Danxig the mercenary Russian Bolshe-
vist army organized by Germany will
shortly open a campaign the object Of
which will be helping Berlin to restore
Pan-Germany. This result will be at
tanned within a few months II radical
measures are not taken Immediately.
Can Great Britain admit that the
war should end not only with a triumph
for Pan Germany. bue with Germany In
military and economic control Of Russia
Now a Germany which Is mistress OF
Central Europe would be able TO refuse
payment in reparaton for damage done.
In the interest of British and French
workers this reparation Is indispensable.
Without It no industry in England or
France could compete with the industry
OF Central Europe or Pan-Germany.
which would not hesitate to employ the
cheap forced labor Of the Siav and Latin
peoples who would again have been sub
jugated. -,
Guarantees of Safety.
These, are reasons why France and
England are again In danger. Their
huge sacrifices in men and money are
at the point of being thrown away.
France has shown herself and the mill
tary facts have proved that. though the
British navy is Indispensable for tho
defence OF Great Britain. the existence
OF her navy Is not enough by ITSELF to
guarantee British Independence.
by the very force OF things the in
terests of France and England will
coincide in the future for as long a
period as can be foreseen. After her
sacrifices France has right at this
moment OF peace to count up to the
fullest possible extent the damage she
has borne.
1T am convinced that without a salts
factory solution of these two questions
France and Great Britain and all the
European allies will go toward an i'm
minent. immense and irremediable ca
tastrophe"
