Baldwin Announcement
Wins Approval But Not
Enthusiasm in England
BY DAVID M. CHURCH.
international News Service.

LONDON. July 13.-General ap-
prevail, but a noticeable lack of en-.
thusiasm, marks the reaction TODAY
to Premier Stanley BaldWin's state
ment of the British reparations
policy.
Approval comes from the fact that
England has at last made q move.
The lack Of enthusiasm is due to
the uncertainty as to what the move
constitutes.
Dissatisfaction is expressed in two
quarters. Lord Rothmere's papers
express displeasure that the Premier
did not castigate Germany. The
Liberal press is displeased because
it sees in the statement only the
continued dragging out of negotia-
tions with France.
Note Nearly Ready.
Foreign Office experts it ia
learned, have already partially com.
pleted the draft Of the British note
to Germany that will be submitted
to the allied nations for approval.
