Isolated Policy Will Not

PALMER THAN PREMIER
Curzon Does Not Mince
Words In Sounding
Alarm.
CBy Associated Presa.l

London, Nov. 24.-One of the
most Outspoken warnings ever
addressed by the foreign minis
ter of one nation to another
friendly nation was delivered pub
licly today at luncheon by Mar
quis Curzon to France. The Brit
ish foreign minister declared that
if France pursued an isolated
and individual policy she would
not in the long run injure Ger
many and would fail to protect
herself.
1t was a warning couched if
anything in palmer terms than a
similar speech delivered by Pre-.
mier Lloyd George last May at
the time when France was pro-
ceeding to occupy German terri
tory which created such a tre-
mendous sensation.
The address was directed pri-
marily to the Washington confer
ence, but it was clearly an inti-
nation to France of the effect of
that cOuntry's attitude toward
disarmament. peace will never
be achieved" said Lord Curzon,
"if any one power tries to steal a
march on another and conclude an
arrangement on its Ow account"
