GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE Still FAR
APART IN ATTITUDE TOWARD GERMANY

| London-(A. P)-Premier Baldwin
joined with Lord Curzon, the British
| foreign secretary, in informing par
| lament today that the replies of
France and Belgium to the British
Preparations note seemed to hold out
no prospect of a settlement of the
Ruhr situation in the near future,
nor the opening of discussion regard
ing reparatiOns.

even further apart in their attitudes
toward Germany than the British peo-
pie, and probably the world at large
know. This is apparently the conclu-
sion drawn from the explanations of
Baldwin and Curzon given in parlia-
ment today of the position resulting
from the latest British attempt to lay
foundations for united policy. The
ministers revealed that the latest
communications from France and
Belgium furnished no material for an
allied reply to the German arepara-
tions proposals, and brought 10 HI ght
a surprising deadlock in the CORES
pondence.
