Lloyd George Blamed.
Great Britain and the United States,
by refusing a. compensatory settle

at the same time that they press
France to begin interest payments
to them and urge France to show
leniency to Germany. are tending to
force France rapidly into bank
ruptcy. In that case Germany will
war. Right or wrong. it is generally
believed here that the Lloyd George
policy is based on the idea of re-
ducing France-by financial pressure.
by preventing the reconstruction Of
the French navy and by forcing
where she can be counterbalanced
by Russo-German combination.
Great Britain with its empire. its sea
power and its financial power would
then hold the balance between these
two groups and be the virtual dicta.
tor Of Europe; The French win
never willingly bow to such a. situa-
ton. They tend to make q distinc-

that British opinion Is not unified
and they still hope to keep the friend-
ship and even regain the co-opera-
tion Of the British people, although
they lose that Of Lloyd George.
