RAlEOuR

Misunderstanding in the house of
lords. the earl of Balfour, secretary for
foreign affairs in the cabinet of for
mer premier Lloyd George, declared
that his circular note to the allies on
the subject of interallied debts did not
deserve the structures passed on it by
American Ambassador Harvey in his
recent speech here.
In concluding his explanation, the
former foreign secretary said that,
from a strictly commercial viewpoint
Ambassador Harvey's statements might
be correct but hat 81 for one. take
less of a commercial view of the deal"
"Silence or my part after such a
statement by one holding the high post
of ambassador would probably be mis-
understood" Lord Balfour said in ex-
planning his silence.
Referring to the statement in his
note that the British debt to America
was incurred for other countries and
not for England, he insisted on the
truth of this statement in substance If
not in form, md proceeded to give
facts and figures in substantiation of
his claims.
When his statement ended. none of
the peers offered any comment.

FRANCE HEAVY LOSER
BY RUHR INVASION

London.-The recent debate in the
house of on affairs in the
Ruhr, reflected the strong growing
feeling which has been observed OF
late in the liberal and labor press, de-
precating the governments attitude OF
benevolent neutrality and insisting that
England take a definite stand, not
necessarily Withdrawing her troops
from the Rhine, but informing France
plainly in a formal note that England
disapproves of the French policy and
demands that the French government
explicitly define its intentions toward
Germany.
Prime Minister Bonar Law insisted
that France had gained nothing by her
Ruhr adventure, on the contrary she
had sustained n heavy loss and it was
impossible to prophesy the outcome.
He admitted that the government had
nothing it could propose to the house,
and said that perhaps the absence of
a policy was bad. but to have a policy
which could not succeed and which in
itself was bad, would be ven worse.
