following revelations that the gov
ernment treasury was almost de-
pleted and the Bank of France could
not extend further credit to the
government without legislative au-
thorization.
Despite the defeat and resigna-

Finance De MonZic adopted the I'M
usual procedure of demanding APP
proval of portions of his financial
project, explaining that the condi-
tion of the treasury demanded in

By a mere raising of hands, the
deputies authorized the Bank of
France to place at the government 5
disposal the remainder Of the $lG0,-

further increase in the maximum

LONDON, July 22.-Therc is Il
marked difference today in the at
titudc Of Britishers and FreHchmen
toward Americans
Whereas Americans in France
have been subjected to insults and
attacks during the past few days
there has not been a single instance
of this sort in Britain, although the
British public apparently feels as
strongly as ;hc French against the
war debt attitude of the american
government.
King George and Queen Mary
this afternoon were hosts at the
largest garden party in the history
Of buckingham Palace to which
$4,000 guests were invited among
whom were several hundred Ameri-
can residents and visitors.
British editors are beginning to
see that the newspaper campaign
against the United States, especial
ly the Daily Mails bitter attack,
has gone beyond proper bounds.

j. A. Spender, editor Of the West
minister Gazette, in signed editor
ial today soundly bcrated the Daily
Mail.
Newspaper stunts such as it has
been conducting, wrote S1Pendcr,
'arc worse than useless. For it to
say that the menace of the vast
war debts owed to the United States
is at the bottom of almost ali the
troubles in Europe and to call
down wrath upon American shy
locks lessons any chance there may
hc that the United states will play
Il helpful part. Our part is to re-
build the bridge between Europe and
America and to remain on watch
for every favorable opportunity of
doing so.
Even Lord Rothercmere, proprie-
tor of the Daily Mail, evidently
realizes that he went too Ear, for
besides toning down comment, to-
days Daily Mail contains reason
ably fair dispatches from America
presenting both sides of the con
trUNciSH.
Meanwhile it is difficult for
American observers here to discover
an adequate reason for anti Amerl-
can agitation because France has
not yet paid America anything
and England has not paid enough
actually, to pinch the ordinary tax
payer or to cramp the usual govern
ment expenditures. For instance
the house of commons last night
passed the budget providing for an
expenditure of $2l2,500,0OO ON the
army; $290.C00,000 on the navy,
and $S0,000,000 on the royal air
