that there would also be taken up
matters incident to the two-power

Britain Explains Action on Rhine

PARIS. November 1.-The British
government. through its ambassador,
the Marquis of Crewe.. has sent two
eign Office. which were received there
as in happy accord with the con-
ciliatory spirit shown by France in
recent intercourse between the two
countries.
The FIRST note drew the French for
consequences which might be en-
tailed by the separation ~>sf Ger
many from certain provinces IN that
such provinces were not signatorfes
of the treaty of Versailles, and so
would not directly have assumed OBJ
legations laid upon the reich by this
treaty.
1t has been reported that the note
contained various statements. includ-
ing criticism of certain measures
taken by the French and Belgians
in the zones of occupation. but 1t can
the above declaration, based on the
treaty of Versailles. An Identical
communication was made to the Bel
gian government.
The second note contained a pro-
posal to the, French government to
and Belgian invitation to the United
States to be represented on the COM
mittee of experts which will make

manys capacity. for the payment of
reparations and the means Germany
possess to fulflf her obligations
The Joint invitation will express
thanks to the United States for its
collaboration and beg the government
to appoint delegates through its
observer on the reparation commits
sion. Thus It can be seen that the
British note neither raises objections
nor asks the French government to
specify its intentions, as has been
reported from London.
Premier Poincare did not have time
yesterday to draft replies, but az
apparently not the slightest differ
ence exists between the governments
on the two questions treated therein,

With respect to the separatist move
ment the French governments view
is that no responsibility can be placed
on II or the Belgian government, as
both have adhered to the principle of
letting the populatipns concerned @ act
French government is highly pleased
at the participation of an American

government cannot view with equa-
nimity the creation of separate
states in Germany or the dismem-
berment of that country. The notes
declare that Great Britain cannot
recognize an Independent Rhineland
republic. de facto or de thre. because
such a republic is contrary TO the
treaty of Versailles.
Reasons Explained.
British action in this respect is in
spired In the first place by the real
izatfon that the dfsfntegratfon OF
Germany would leave no central gov
ernment which could be held respon-
sible under the Versailles treaty, and
In the second place. by the fact that
recognition OF the Rhineland repub-
lie would cause endless embarrass-
Dment to the British. government in
the Cologne zone, where the British
troops might become involved in the
delicate task of keeping order among
the contending German factions.
While British troops are kept on
the Rhine-and many voices here re-
Gently have advocated their with
drawal-the government is obliged to
exercise every care to avoid embar-
RAISING complications. 1t is argued
in London that 1t might happen that
the inhabitants of the Cologne dis
trict would prefer to remain loyal to
thearefch. even If Rhineland repub-
lie were established, and since much
evidence has been forthcoming to
prove that the French government
favors the creation of such a repub-
lie. this would brins the British gov
eminent into direct conflict with
France at a time when. in view of the
coming in of America to another rep
arations conference, II is more than
ever necessary that nothing should
happen to disturb the already some
what strained relations between
Great Britainrand France. ?
