it seriously. Officials know it is nom

1t would destroy France. because she

would kill the export trade by which

a joke. The financial world is frankly
derisive of it az a conception of Bed

there are a million unemployed in our

that Mr.. Lloyd George SAYS nothing

great businesses are collapsing like

the brink of an incalculable economic
disaster. Everybody knows the rem
