BRAND Refuses to Meet
Lloyd George in Farley

PARIS. May 15.-Premier BRAND
has refused to meet Prime Minister
Lloyd George at BOulouge until
after he has had contact with Par
Lament.
Not since the Fashoda incident
have AnglOFrenCh relations been
as strained as they are. as a result
of Lloyd Georges definite break
from the French policy. No incl
dent so startling has come to French
attention since the war. The Brit
ish statement, while it may have
been expected by government off,
cials, has completely astounded the
French public, and a wave of fage
and bitterness at British decep-
tion" has swept the country.
NJ. BRAND will soon go into Par
Lament asking a vote of confidence
as an expression of Frances opin-
ion on the Upper Silesian problem.
That he will receive it is not
doubted in Quai D'Orsay.
Premier BRAND has not VET an
swered the note sent by Lloyd
George late last Friday night criti-
cising Gen. Lerond's action in Cpper
Sllesla and declaring that French
troops were fraternizing with the
insurgents.
AS Lloyd George already has nut
the matter before the house of com
mons, VI. BRAND feels he has the
right to taFe the same acton be-
tore attempting to represent French
opinion.
From the tenor of French nrasy,
comment and the opinion of Quai
Orsay' there is no doubt that Par
lament VIII tell him not to bulge
an lnch from his program for ST.
