LONDON, July 19.-Great Britain
should "clear out of Europe" and
let France settle her account with
Germany by her own methods, y,
Lord Beaverbrook, proprietor of
the London Express, declared in n
statement on the eve of publica-
ton of the British note to Germa-

By Lord Beaverbrook
LONDON, July 49, Premier
Poincare CT France has anticipated
Premier Baldwin S proposed repa-
rations note by Il speech at Sen
lis in which he declares without
qualification or reservation that
France has come TO the end of all
concessions she is prepared to make.
lie is emphatic in his dotermina
tion not to go back one inch from
the Ruhr occupation policy and all
it implies, and he sees no hope of
settlement by other means.
lie lays On his belief of Britain g
honesty of purpose and expresses
grief ut the thought that differ
cnces over this momentouS question
of reparations cast even shadow
on Anglo-Frcnch friendship. but in
the end he is firm in purpose.
High hopes were entertained, that
the Baldwin government would III
some way or another not Defined
put an end to the deadlock of the
Ruhr reparations situation. Such
hopes never had any foundations IN
fact and never can have, as long
as the French people support Pom
cares policy.
Charge Baldwin Failure
For this ferment of expectation
the government itself is largely
responsible by suggesting that
Baldwin might, succeed III bringing
France around where Bonar Law
failed, whereas in reality as the
Dally kNpress pointed out at wy
time, his only contribution to tins
subject was "a new brand of OPP
timism.
Having set this note for them
selves, the ministers must not blame
the country if it exhibits some dis
appointment now that Poincare s
speech has ended the high hopes
of the nation.
The reception of the British note
is now foregone conclusion, and
France will reply with week from
now that she intends proceeding
against Germany in the future
exactly as in the past.
Britain has two alternative course
before her. First, she can submit
to the France decision wnlch viii
make her recent action with its
loud press talk of retaking thu
lead in Europe, once more look
rather ridiculous and humiliating
Second, she can seek definite

Let France Settle

Says Be0Uerbr0Ok

break with France and conclude
what must finally end in an econ
omic alliance with Germany against
former ally.
This last proposition has only to
be stated nakedly for an men to
see how impossible it would look
to British public opinion-at least
for many years to come.
Sees Way Out
If then there would be only two
alternative courses the British for
cign policy would seem to be in
II bad way-in fact practically
bankrupt.
|, however, believe there is still
third and wiser plan open to
British statesmen whereby we need
not quarrel with nor be subservient
to France nor yet ally ourselves
with Germany.
1t is to clear out of Europe and
while taking what we can get from
European markets, devote our sur
plus energies to the peaceful dev'
elopment of tn British empire. This
we shall never be able TO do as long
as our national attention is con
centrated in Paris or Berlin and the
national pocketbook is drained by
insuring safety with armaments
against some European war into
which we shall be drawn Inevitably
unless we cut completely clear OF
the tangle.
France thinks she can success
fully settle her account with Ger
many by her own methods.
Let her see to it.
Britain should not quarrel will
her ON this account nor yet upholc
her.
Britain, without ignoring hel
commerce should turn to develop
ing her own markets within the
empire and overseas.
This was the essence of Bonal
Laws foreign policy and ! do not
believe his successors in Downing
street can improve it, because il
was founded on the same rock OF
fact and hard reality as the worlC
i'll which we live.

Th chief complaints made were
those against canneries, steamship
companies and other interests. There
were also some against those who
make money in Alaska and then
take it away.
Wasting of resources such as
fisheries also was blamed on the
Gamers. But the Alaskans them

ions to the president and cabinc
members, are satisfied with th'
treatment accorded by the govern
ment. They are not united among

BRITISH FINISH
GERMAN NOTE;

Document May Signal
Final Break Over

BY LLOYD ALLEN

Urited Press Staff correspondent
LONDON, July 19.-The British
cabinet met today and made final
rcvisions in the all-important note
to Germany, the document which
may be a signal for a final break
of the entente over reparations.
A covering letter which will ac
company tine note, ana an eXplana
torv document were also discussed
and completed.
The note, with its accompanying
documents will be delivered 'trl'
day.
The optimism from "authorita'
tive sources was not shared by
the British or continental press, noi
bv the public. 1t was generally felt
the note held possibilities of'a def
mite break with France over the
subject of reparations.
1t is understood, although the
contents of the note have been
closely guarded and were subjected
to eleventh hour changes, that Brl-
tain insists in a covering letter that
the British idea on rcparations Is III
conformity with the Versailles
treaty.
French statesmen have been
stressing the point that Britain has
ignored the treaty. The note may
lead to further debate between
France and England over which cor
rectly interprets the treaty that
ended the world war.
