That is why the entente will oppose the reopening of the discussion which the Ger- mans will seek at London by offer- ing counter proposals. We shall soon whether history's great- «#t crime is to be expiated by its authors. This is what the French chamber demands, nd this is why the Briand ministry received a vote this weelk, in ant By February of confidenc ci - pation of the London conference. * P The Paris confere tightened the bonds of Anglo-French friend- ship. This fact underlies the gen- eral satisfaction in France over the result of the meeting, but we must_admit that the reception by the chamber of deputies was not as enthusiastic as the attitude of the press led us to expect. The praises showered on the document which, despite its good qualities, represents further sacrifices of French credits, are regarded by the chamber as Somewhat exces- sive. The means of compulsion provided are satisfactory in ap- pearance, but we doubt if they are workable. Furthermore. the German attitude and the apparent- 1y concerted protests make French- men wonder what the morrow will bring forth. * %X X X Public opinion finds too many sacrifices and insufficient guaran- tees in the new agreement. Despite the ruins with which France is covered, her men are moderate | enough to accept, in the Interests | of world peace, even a mediocre i arrangement curtailing credits and | ¢ven accept the 12 per cent cxport i spreading the payment of repa- ration over many years.
