Discuss
AnS1uer to Paris

LONDON, April 10.-An outline Of
the answer to the French note with re-
gard TO occupation of Frankfort and
other German cities was discussed at
brief Cabinet meeting this morning
before the departure of Premier Lloyd
George for San Reno.
The reply of France to the British
note or the action taken by France in
occupying additional German territory
was received in London today.
Notwithstanding the insistence of
France that there was no alternative
for her in the circumstances except oc-
cupatlon of German territory, and her
denial of the statements that she had
acted without warning. officials here
view the note as conciliatory, because
Of the expressed desire of the French
for an Allied conference
This view Is emphasized by the fact
that Premier Lloyd George departed
for San Reno, although it was stated
yesterday that he might postpone his
departure.
Mr. Lloyd George did not attend the
meeting of the Supreme Council which
took place here this morning. Earl
Curzon. the Foreign Secretary also was
not present, because OF illness. II was
stated that the council did not discuss

work on the Turkish treaty.
In other official quarters the French
note is considered to have relieved the
tension of yesterday
Declaration that the Allies repeatedly
declined to sanction the advance Of
French troops east of the Rhine, and
that statements by Premier Millerand
and other French ministers had given
the impression that that country would
abstain from single handed action
against Germany, are contained in the
note outlining the British attitude sent
to Paris, says The London Times"
problems in connection with the execu-
ton Of the Versailles treaty may arise
in future, it is said, and it is assumed
France Will not act again on her own
initiative. otherwise the work of the
peace conference may become futile"
Reports from Paris that France was
told the Earl Of Derby would be in
structed not to participate in the con-
ference Of ambassadors in Paris until
France had given assurance she would
in future act in concert with the Allies
are confirmed by The Times
According to THE Daily Mail" the

here to show that the recent statement
OF Premier Lloyd George in criticism
OF the French action is proving a source
OF embarrassment TO the efforts Of the
United States and the other allies
to effect an amicable adjustment Of the
difficulty. This being the fact, it is
suggested in some quarters that if a
new statement does emanate from
Washington as to the position of this
government it will have as its part
purpose demonstration that this coun-
try is not party TO these criticisms.
Harmonious Solution Sought
While 1t is true that the Washington
government has sought TO keep more
or less in the background in the con-
troversy, it has been the earnest wish
Of the State Department to bring about
an arrangement which would represent
harmonious front on the part of the
Allied and associated governments. AS
set forth IN these dispatches Thursday.
the exchanges that had taken place be-
tween the various interested govern
ments On the Allied side gave strong
promise that such an arrangement was
IN sight and that II would take the form
OF united demand on the part of these
governments that Germany reduce her
forces in the neutral zone 20 police

would be followed By a French with

There was some DISPOSITION in
Washington circles TODAY to take sX-
esI ton to the inference conveyed bv
Lloyd Georges statement that the
Inlted States, which had Joined with
Great Britain ten days ago in protest
ing against the French action. like
WISE joined N the Premier's criticisms.
British Explanation Received
Late yesterday. it was learned to-
day, the Honorabl Ronald c. LINDSAY.
Charge d'AHaires OF the British En-
bassy, called at the State Department
and was afforded opportunity to ex-
plaln that no such Inference was IN
tended. Whether he actually did so
could not be confirmed, but the depart
ted that no such construction of The
Premier's remarks was intended, and
that Lloyd George simply intended TO
have it understood that the United
States had backed up the original at
titude Of the British government.
In further emphasis of the desire Of
the Washington Administration not TO
be involved in the Lloyd George criti-
cism, officials were careful to-day to
reassert that while the United States
originally opposed the Ruhr Valley ex-
petition, it was disposed to be entire
ly sympathetic with France
Meanwhile the conversations" are
still going on in Washington and at toe
other capitals. In addition to Mr..
Lindsay, the State Department in the
last twenty-four hours has been m

sador on the same subject.
