REPARATION PAYMENTS.
POINCARE'S OPTIMISM.
FRANCE "WANTS GUARANTEES.
THE DEBT TO BRITAIN. (By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.'' (Received 10.30 a.m.) PARIS, December 13. M. Poincare interviewed-by the "Petit Parisien" said that Mr. Bonar Law favourably received the proposal to withdraw the Balfour Note and allow France to pay Britain the bonds instead of cash. This was a great step forward, because Mr. Lloyd George always opposed the bonds' scheme. In respect of the new German proposals there was not a discordant note at the London Conference, which unanimously rejected the proposals. France could not consent to a moratorium without guarantees. M. Foincare added that he was convinced that there would be no rupture in January even if the conference failed to reach an agreement with Great Britain.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
