Entente Cordiale
Facing Rupture
on Dawes Report
Two Fundamental Differ.
ences Divide British and
French--Neither Country
willing to Back Down.
by Universal Service.


Paris. April 20--Instead Of cement
ing the Anglo French union, the re-
port OF the Dawes commission looms
now as the rock destined to split the
entente cordiale wide open.
Two fundamental differences divide
the British and French viewpoints.
while both Premiers Macdonald and
poincare are definitely on record as
stating that neither viii back down
for the other.
The first difference IL over the
matter OF sanctions. Premier Pom
care already has indicated that
France will not accept the report OF
the experts at all unless Britain ana
Italy sign an agreement by which
all the allies will Join In imposing
new sanctions, including re.imposi-
tlon Of the Ruhr system should Ger.
many default.
Premier Macdonald. in a speech last
night, categoricaily repudisted such
proposition on the ground that the
menace OF new sanctions would be
an Indictment TO German national
ism.
In the second place. Premier Mac
donald believes that the total Of Ger
many's debt should be reduced In
order TO permit II TO aequit Itself
fully within 20 years.
The French will refuse to consider
any reduction in the total Of Ger
many's debt without a corresponding
reduction In inter.aIlIed debts.
The most profound pessimism is
now succeeding the extravagant
optimism Of the last few weeks, and
but few diplomats and observers think
that the experts plan can be put into
execution before next year, n at all.
