NO DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN BRITAIN AND FRANCE
(Received August 13, ,9.30 a.m.) J'ARIS, ,12th August. Mr. Lloyd George said' that the reference of the question to the Leaguo of Nations was not a disagreement between Britain and France, nor a reflection on the French Government and its experts. It was important to say that Japan and /■ltaly took thessame line as Britain. The difficulties were not due to the problem itself, But to the excited state of public opinion. Therefore, it was right to seek another tribunal. , Although majority of the Council takes one view—France alone taking the other—Britain .will accept th* League's decision without demur. If it is necessary to strengthen the Allied forces in Sile^a, Britain will make a contribution on the same scale as any other/Power
M. Briand said that France would accept the decision without demur. He suggested that jm-iats should draft the „ TefeTence to the League. '
Sigiior Bonomj said that Italy was willing to eend reinforcements, pending the League's decision. . / '
