LITTLE ENTENTE.
PURCHASE OF MUNITIONS.
GUARANTEE FOR FRENCH
LOANS.
PROTEST FROM BRITAIN.
(By Cable.—Press Association. —Copyright.)
PARIS, January I,
The British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the Marquis Curzon, has made representations to Poland, Rumania and Yugoslavia objecting to purchases of French war material as a guarantee of the payment of loans. In French official circles it is stated that France is arming those countries because it is essential that they should be able to withstand unprovoked aggression.
The "Temps," in a long article, replies to British press complaints that France can find money for munition loans to Yugoslavia, Poland and Rumania, and these c intries can find guarantees for the loans, while neither Prance nor other borrowers are attempting to repay debts to Britain. The "Temps" justifies France's loans on the ground that they are for material purchased in France, and are internal payments. France cannot pay external debts till she has completed reconstruction of the ! devastated areas.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
