Curzon Is Provocative

MI EITHER the tone nor the language
in OF Lord Curzon's speech is calculated
to inspire an increase in the cordially OF
relations which exist between France and
Great Britain. When Premier BRAND eX-
planned before the arms conference the po-

case for the policy that country feels COM

OF the French position appealed not alone
to the delegates composing the conference
but to the public as well. incontestaby
sound. France faces n condition, not theory.
and she must always be ready to grapple
with the condition.
Hence, it was gratuitous for the British
Foreign Minister to assume the premises
upon which he based his provocative warn
ing. Nothing was indicated in Premier
Brands statement of French policy that
tustifles the assumption that France DELHI
erately elects to pursue an isolated and in
dividual policy, either in its bearing on the
German situation or in relation to her policy
in the Near East On the contrary, there
was distinct appeal throughout the entire
address to the member nations of the con
ference to understand Frances position and
TO devise some plan for tightening the load
OF defensive preparedness that she is com
PEELED TO sustain.
France, through her spokesman at the
conference, announced her intention OF i'm

Come, give ali my troubles defeat.
For your smile drives away ali my worry and

And sets me to laughing and singing again!
And 1? - shall tell YOU story

And put you to bed with your favorite doll
