Lxcelsior, Senator Dupuy's news- paper, says: “We ought to congratu- late oursclves that the British note is conched in friendly terms and in- spired by a concillatory spirit such margins for technical discussions.” Without belittling Britain's gen- erosity in renouncing her share of reparations, the writer finds that her action shows a practical notion of the FEuropean situation. He also welcomes that statement in the note that France's wealth and ca- taken | into account, giving the French gov- ernment opportunity to prove to the world that the Frenchman is the| most heavily taxed citizen on earth. In conclusion lo observes that abandonment of the French counter- claims against Great Britain implies renunciation of the 1,200,000,000 gold francs deposited with the Bank of England as security for the French war loans. This will have, he thinks, an unsettling effect on the I'rench treasury and on the sta- bility of exchange. Le ¥igaro remarks: “Before mak- ing concrete proposals to England we must know what we shall have to pay out to the United States. The charges resulting from these reim- bursements will upset our budgels and burden sveral generations. We must not bind ourselves too easily. Now the word is with Washington.” * Press Views London, Feb, 9.—Ifhn through the editorial Bull, columns of a very generous fellow for the man- ner in which he has offered to treat France with reference to her war debt., Here and there the writers are even of the conviction that he has been too generous, at the ex- pense of his own people. A British note to France’ publish- ed today, declines to agree that France's payments should be de- pendent upon Germany's full pay- ment of the Dawes plan annuities: declares that GreMt Britain is will- ing to acept fixed annual payments, irregpective of the Dawes proceeds, with a further annual charge on the | | ¥rench share in those proceeds and | makes known that Great Britain will devote any surplus beyond the re- quirements of meeting her American | indebtedness to diminish the burd- cns upon her allies. The Times, while approving the | British offer, describes it as extra- ordinarily liberal—"A splendid and onerous sacrifice by a people suffer- ing from an immense decrease in their accumulated wealth, from un- | paraliclicd taxation, and grievous ! unemployment.” | The Morning Post, recalling that Great Britain “nobly waived her claim upon the enemy for damages,” cxpresses gratification that “France is to recelve the full yenefit of this sacrifice.” It thinks the arrangement will exert a steadying effect upon | the commercial situation, and con- siders that the note carries out the decision that whatever paymens France makes to_the United States must be shared pari passu by Great Britain, ys the Daily Chronicle: “Owing to the success of the Dawes scheme, the amount France is called upon to pay is ludicrously small in pro- portion to the debt she incurred. | x x x She has yet to reckon with | America, who will not be so lenient as is this country.” The Daily Telegraph is convinced that the British people atrongly ap- prove of Chancellor Churchill's of- fer, and Westminster Gazette says: “In confirming the extremely gener- ous a offer of the Balfour note, Mr. Churchill has done well to {nsist | that Great Britain's claims eannot be made entirely dependent upon the success or fallure of the Dawes | scheme.” The Daily News comments that | | “the offer is equitable and generous although the French people doubt- | | less will find it a pill hard to swal- | | tow.” The Daily Express recalls with | dissatisfaction the ‘*'sequence and | surrenders” which it says led to Mr. Churchill's note, and describes this as “another step in the splendid gen- | erosity of British statesmanship to- | | ward foreign tax payers.” VEN HAS SUICIDE.
