that II did not wish to maintain III
demand II Great Britain and Americs
deemed It Objectionable. Since thai
date France has confined itself tC
claiming that the coal OF the Saai
valley was due to France as repara-
tion.
This principle was agreed to by
all parties as II recognized that the
transfer of the mines is but made
quate compensation for the havoc de-
liberately wrought in northern
France by the Germans.
THE solution of the Saar problem
was suggested last week by Mr..
Lloyd George. 1t consists in giving
the Saar kind Of autonomy resemb-
ling that Of Luxembourg. The local
authorities would remain free from
interference by either French or
German administration, the political
status of the district being, besides,

That suggestion was carefully work.
