French Remain Cool
TOWARD British Try
At Lebanese Peace

LONDON, Nov. IS. - British
efforts to force quick solution
of the Lebanese crisis have failed
to evoke satisfactory French &C.
ton to date, so far as could be
learned in London tonight.
No change in the situation was
reported as the Foreign Office
drafted a reply to report from
its minister in Lebanon, Maj. Gen.
Sir Edward Spears, on two long
conversations he had in Beirut
yesterday with Gen. Georges Cat.
roux of the French Committee OF
National Liberation. Catroux was
sent to Beirut from North Africa
with powers to settle the dispute.
With the British calling at least
for the release of eight Lebanese
officials, including the premier, ar
rested by the French last week,
the need for a solution was des-
cribed authoritatively as still urg-
ent.

Citizens are urged by Leonard to
let national legislators know their

couragement from economy mind

those who feed out of the public
treasury and seem to feel there is
no limit to what government can
spend without sacrificing national
solvency." Leonard says it should
be recognized "by all thoughtful
