a result of new exchanges. Premier
BRAND, it was announced. will prob
ably agree to meeting of the SUI
preme council about the middle OF
the first week In August and withdraw
his demand for a meeting OF experts.
In return for this Great Britain has
been asked to join with France in re-
questing free passage through Ger
many Of reinforcements.
At an interview between Sir Cheet-
ham. the British charge d'affaires, and
Philippe Berthelot, general secretary
of the French foreign office, it was
made clear that France strongly de-
sired to eliminate the divergence OF
views between the two countries,
which, although it existed only as q
procedure, was being exploited by
Germany. France still desired to send
reinforcements to Silesia, it was ex
planned, and Great Britain was urged
to ask Berlin for assurances Of safe
transport.
The meeting of the supreme council
will be held at Boulogne or Paris.
"The British are lined up with the
Germans against the French" says the
semiofficial Temps, apparently reflect
ing the grave concern shown by Off
cials and French newspapers over the
deadlock between Great Britain and
France in the Upper Silesian question
Both the Temps auathe journal sdss
Debats contend that Germany is do
ing its utmost to impede solution.
