The outstanding fact arising
from comment in parliamentary
circles is ths. BRAND has apparent

his colleagues in the cabinet, and
that his resignation must naturally

by the chamber and senate.
The ministry is reported to be
absolutely opposed to any Franz
British alliance under which FRAN
would surrender a single franc IN
reparations claims in return for
what is described as ''problematical
assistance" in the event of aggres-
sion from Germany.
Lloyd Georges memorandum in
which he repeats that the recon-
struction of Europe must have pre-
cedence over that of France, and
that the allies must wait two or
three years before arriving at a
financial settlement with Germany
merely adds fuel to the flames.
French public and official opinion,
stirred up by the Clemencists and
the militaristic factions, places
French reparations before any such
alliance.
